General Podiatry
A routine podiatry treatment can transform your feet in both comfort and cosmetically. Most general conditions can be dealt with during a routine treatment including long and thick nails, hard skin/calluses and corns. A typical treatment will begin with a foot soak to soften the feet, then any corns and calluses can be removed followed by the maintenance of the nails. Once this process is complete the treatment can then be finished with an application of urea cream to moisturise the feet and prevent cracking
Biomechanical Assessment
A biomechanical assessment is useful if you are experiencing pain in the lower limb. The podiatrist will assess your joints and analyse your gait to determine the cause of your pain. Then a treatment plan will then be devised which may include stretching and strengthening exercises, taping and/or the prescription of bespoke orthotics which will be produced from a cast of your feet and customised in the lab according to your needs. Bespoke orthotics can correct abnormal gait and reduce stress on damaged tissues, decrease pain and allow the healing process to begin
Cryotherapy for Warts and Verrucas
Whilst there is no 100% effective cure for Verrucas or Warts, cryotherapy is currently the most successful treatment offered by Knee to Toe Podiatry. As the viral infection resides in the dermis layer of the skin, the bodies immune system is not very active in this layer and often does not recognise the virus is even present. The freezing and thawing of cells during this treatment is intended to trigger an immune response. Because of this in cases where there are more than 3 Warts/Verrucas only 3 need to be treated, the systemic response should clear them all up once the body recognises the virus.
Diabetic Foot Assessment
Sensory and vascular testing is performed and footcare advice for the care of diabetic feet is provided along with the creation of a podiatry treatment plan in order to maintain good foot health for the future, then a letter will be written to your GP to inform them of your risk status
