How podiatry can help you

Podiatrists can help you to manage foot, ankle and lower limb problems related to injury, illness, disease or a disability.

Podiatry can assist you with:

  • caring for your feet if you have been diagnosed with diabetes, or helping you to manage the effects of diabetes complications such as wounds and poor blood supply.
  • treating your corns and callouses
  • treating fungal or thickened nails
  • treating warts
  • helping you to manage your feet and walking if you have pain or deformity
  • prescribing orthotics and shoes.

Podiatrists will see you in individual on-site consultations, but may also refer you to group education sessions or to a footcare assistant if you require ongoing nail cutting.
