More than 80% of people develop foot problems at some time during their life. These range from the relatively minor to the potentially crippling, but all involve patient discomfort.
The Chiropodist (otherwise known as a podiatrist) is dedicated to the prevention and correction of these disorders in addition to alleviating the discomforts they cause.
A normal Chiropody treatment includes:
-
Nails cut and filed
-
Corns removed
-
Hard skin removed
-
Foot massage with specially selected creams
-
Advice about ongoing foot care
Basic hygiene and nail cutting may be all that's needed to keep your feet in good shape. But when normal feet turn into problem feet, it's best to seek professional help.
