About Chiropody

Our feet are sophisticated pieces of machinery. Made up of ¼ of the bones in our bodies, our feet allow us to walk an average of 130,000 kms in a lifetime. As well as carrying the weight of our body, they must also twist and flex with increased impact and strain when we move around. Even through simple day-to-day activities such as standing and walking, our feet can be injured if not properly supported.

Your feet really do deserve a Chiropodist. The condition of our feet often provides early indications of conditions such a diabetes, arthritis, and circulatory disease. For this reason, the human foot is sometimes called the ‘mirror of health’. Look out for signs such as dry skin, brittle nails, burning and tingling sensations, feelings of cold, numbness, and discolouration. Always seek the opinion of a chiropodist when any of these signs occur.

Whether you are a person that has a difficult time to reach their toenails to cut them, or a person with tired and achy feet, the services offered at our clinic cater to everyone. Because they are so far away from our heart, our feet are often the first part of the body to show something is wrong with the way blood circulates in our body. Some of the other services offered at the clinic include Orthotics (for every foot type), Sports Injury Management, Diabetic foot care and Senior foot care. Chiropodists can also help you with heel and arch pain, corns and calluses, thick toenails and warts (just to name a few).

The most important thing to remember is that our feet should not hurt. Sore feet are the sign of a problem. Our feet can suffer enormous wear and tear including overuse, neglect, infection, injury and disease; however chiropody can help to keep us on our feet for life.
