Feet are placed through a lot of stress every day since they are high wearing area in our body. Therefore, it is important to keep them healthy! Factors such your occupation, age-related issues, footwear, level of physical activities and even just everyday movement can have significant impact on your feet, resulting in problems such as cracked heels, ingrown toenails and callouses. Regular treatments from a podiatrist followed by good ongoing foot care can reduce pain and prevent the return of foot problems.

Dealing with corns, calluses, and warts can be an uncomfortable challenge for our feet. While calluses naturally form to shield our skin from repetitive pressure, they can sometimes overgrow, causing pain. Corns, identified by a focal point of high pressure, typically develop on weight-bearing areas, and even beneath the nails. Warts, on the other hand, result from a viral infection caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus) and commonly manifest on the soles of the feet, bringing considerable discomfort and pain. Thankfully, the removal of corns, calluses, and warts is often a pain-free process, leading to a significant improvement in overall foot comfort. Addressing these issues promptly ensures not just relief but also contributes to the overall well-being of your feet.

Nail surgeries serve as effective solutions for persistent issues like ingrown toenails, pathological nails, or severely traumatized nails. This procedure entails the permanent removal of either a small portion or the entire nail, addressing the continual growth that leads to pain and infection. Our skilled team conducts these surgeries under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort.

The leg and foot work as one unit. When the feet deviate from their optimal function due to various internal or external factors, it triggers abnormal forces affecting not only the feet but also extending to the muscles, tendons, and joints of the legs, pelvis, and back. This relationship highlights how issues with the feet can potentially lead to discomfort, such as hip pain. Podiatrists employ comprehensive examinations to assess the entire leg structure and biomechanical issues when assessing your foot problem.

Enduring recurrent foot injuries that impede your daily activities can be immensely frustrating. It's important to note that sports injuries aren't exclusive to athletes or gymnasts. A common injury like Ankle Sprain or Plantar Fasciitis can happen to anyone regardless of age or occupation. Failure to address initial acute injuries adequately can lead to their progression into chronic issues. Early intervention is the key for acute sport injuries and ongoing management is essential for chronic injuries.

The dry needling technique focuses on identifying tight muscle knots, commonly known as trigger points, with the goal of unlocking these knots. This process aims to reduce pain and tension while simultaneously enhancing blood flow to promote tissue repair and improve overall function. Dry needling proves to be a highly effective standalone treatment or when combined with other therapies such as myofascial massage or strapping. While many individuals find significant relief through dry needling, it's essential to note that some may experience mild discomfort, pain, tingling, bruising, or pinpoint bleeding as the needle is withdrawn from the skin. These reactions are typical by-products of the effective dry needling process and are indicative of the treatment's positive impact.

Our foot and leg must have particular joint ranges of motion and sit in proper alignment to the rest of the body. This alignment is pivotal for ensuring that body weight is appropriately transferred and distributed during activities like walking or running. When these biomechanics falter, the body is compelled to compensate by triggering undesired movements in other joints or muscles. These compensatory movements can create abnormal forces, leading to pain and discomfort in the feet and legs. Just as glasses are used for eyes, orthoses are prescribed to help feet perform better, reducing trauma and pain.

For individuals managing diabetes, maintaining robust blood circulation is paramount, and optimal mobility is central to achieving this. Diabetes can lead to diminished blood flow to the lower legs and feet, resulting in pronounced muscle pain during even brief periods of activity, a condition known as intermittent claudication.

Ongoing and unexplained foot pain, numbness, burning and tingling can be a sign of peripheral neuropathy which is another diabetes related foot complication. 

The combination of compromised circulation and diminished protective sensation elevates the risk of lower limb complications, including infection and gangrene. In cases of inadequate diabetes management, these complications may escalate to the point of necessitating amputation. Vigilant diabetes care is crucial to mitigate these potential complications and preserve overall foot health.
