Benefits of seeing a Chiropodist
Checking For Nail Abnormalities
Your toenails are much more susceptible to changes and infections than your fingernails — mainly due to their vulnerability to damage or trauma. Toenails can become thickened, discoloured, curved and painful.
If you start noticing these changes, book an appointment with our Chiropodist at Integra Health Centre to help safely manage these changes and determine the cause, ruling out fungus or an ingrown toenail.
Checking for Skin Disorders
Your feet spend a lot of time in a closed space — either in a pair of shoes or a pair of socks. If you exercise regularly or if your feet are naturally sweaty, this introduces another factor: moisture.
All these things increase the chance of getting Athlete’s foot or a plantar wart. Hard calluses and deep corns can also cause pain. However, these issues can easily be treated by a chiropodist.
Correcting Foot Function
It’s likely that the underlying cause of your foot pain is from how your foot moves through your gait.
With time, these abnormal movements can cause strain — and sometimes, even permanent damages in the soft tissues and joints. Addressing the issue sooner, rather than later, with proper footwear advice, stretches, taping and/or custom foot orthotics has immense benefits for you and your feet.
A foot specialist knows the ins and outs of foot health and is able to treat a very wide spectrum of foot problems with various treatment options. Get your feet on the right path toward good health today.
