Standard Foot Care
Put your feet in our capable hands.
“Standard Foot Care” involves the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of the many skin and nail problems which we can all experience from time to time in our lives. For some people this can mean a short spell of treatment to fix a painful corn or ingrown toenail. For others it may mean a helping hand with the regular maintenance of our feet so we can stay more healthy and mobile. And for some it is the opportunity to have an assessment of our feet because of health problems like diabetes or circulation issues. Whatever the case, our friendly, expert team are here to offer the care you need.
Medical experts in foot health.
Your feet are often a window into your overall health. As the last part of the body to receive blood and nutrients it is no wonder this is often where the first signs of health issues will emerge. This is why every initial consultation with our team begins with gathering information about your medical history, medication, allergies and family history. Depending on your age and health status, we will then carry out any necessary tests. Usually, especially for those of the age of 50, this will involve a short neurovascular assessment.
A neurovascular assessment in our practice can involve the use of several tools depending on your needs. The most commonly used is a Doppler ultrasound - this compact device allows us to listen to the flow of blood in your feet and assess the health of your arteries. It can also allow us to pick up heart irregularities which we can assess further in-house using a mobile ECG device. For patients with potential nerve problems or conditions related to this like diabetes, we can also assess the protective sensation in your feet with tools like a monofilament and non-contact thermometry.
Taking the time to do things properly.
Going through your medical history and any necessary health assessment of your feet typically takes less than 10 minutes. Then it’s on to the matter at hand - your feet! Our team have the skills, the tools and the knowledge to get to the bottom of all manner of skin and nail problems and provide ourselves in offering meticulous treatment.
Many people’s first experience of seeing a Podiatrist or Foot Health Practitioner can be an anxious one, especially when sharp instruments are involved - we want to put you at ease from the moment you walk in the door. Both our initial and follow-up consultation times are much longer (and, for the time given, much better value for money) than other clinics nearby because we don’t believe in a quick conveyor belt approach. Instead we are proud to take the time in ensuring your experience is as enjoyable as possible.
