What is Podiatry?
It is the treatment of the foot in health and in disease.
A healthy foot can still present with problems – calluses (hard skin), corns, thickened or ingrown nails etc. All can be relieved by treatment, although a “cure” can only happen if the cause is dealt with. This is because symptoms arise as a result of the body’s response to an internal or external stimulus. It may be necessary to review footwear styles, wear protectors over problem areas or to wear orthoses (insoles).
Medical conditions which can have an effect in the feet include arthritis in all its forms, multiple sclerosis, Paget’s disease, circulatory disorders, neuropathies, strokes, heart conditions and skin complaints such as eczema and psoriasis. Particular care is needed for people with diabetes.
