Medical Conditions
There are a variety of reasons why you may choose to see a podiatrist and these reasons may vary. The reasons are either cosmetic or functional in nature, or a combination of both. Ideally the system of the feet, ankles and lower limbs should work together as a ‘well-oiled’ machine. Therefore if any of these components are not functioning as they should it is time to pay us a visit.
These are some of the conditions we successfully treat at THE FOOT CLINIC.
Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are skin infections caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and cause a hard and often painful thickened lesion on the sole of the foot.
Fungal Toenail
Fungal infections of the toe nail/s are also known as “onychomycoses”. These nail infections are very common in people over 30 years, and particularly in tropical climates.
Bunions
There are many reasons why this deformity occurs such as:
Hereditary factors, Footwear habits, Foot type, Biomechanical factors (pronation), Neuromuscular dysfunction, Ligament Dysfunction (laxity)
Ingrown Toenail
Ingrown toenails or onychocryptosis, is a commonly encountered problem in podiatry practice. Patients usually present with moderate pain in the affected toe, however, with progression, infection, severe pain and even difficulty walking or playing sports can occur.
Diabetes & Foot care
Diabetes is a systemic metabolic disorder that impairs the body’s ability to absorb glucose from the blood stream.
Cracked Heels
Heel fissures, commonly referred to as cracked heels, are a simple problem that could lead to severe medical issues in future if left untreated.
Corns & Calluses
Corns and calluses are thick, hardened layers of skin that develop when the skin tries to protect itself against friction or pressure.
