Our aim is to keep you on your feet – literally! Whether you’re dealing with common issues such as verrucas, hard skin or nail cutting, relieving foot pain with bespoke insoles, or treating more complex conditions such as nail surgery for ingrown toenails, our expert podiatrist is here to help.
Seeing a podiatrist can lead to better pain management, improved mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life. Here at Agile we’re all about keeping you comfortable and moving with ease.
Podiatry can benefit you in a variety of ways, depending on your individual needs and foot health concerns. Our skilled podiatrist will conduct a comprehensive examination, considering both your specific condition and overall general health, and provide a clear diagnosis. We will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
The most common ways a podiatrist can help include:
Foot and ankle pain: If you’re struggling with persistent pain in your feet, ankles or heels a podiatrist can diagnose the underlying cause, such as plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, neurological issues or arthritis. Treatment options may include custom orthotics or physical therapy to relieve pain and restore function.
Gait Analysis: For those with walking or movement problems (known as gait issues), a podiatrist can conduct an analysis to detect issues such as flat feet or misalignment. Again, treatment can be provided with custom orthotics or physical therapy to correct these issues.
Diabetes Management: Diabetes can lead to foot complications such as infections, ulcers, poor circulation or neurological issues. Podiatrists are trained to manage these risks through regular diabetic footcare assessments. We’ll offer advice and develop a personalized treatment plan to address any concerns, helping you maintain healthy feet and prevent complications.
Ingrown Toenails: Ingrown toenails can be painful and may require minor surgery for treatment. Our podiatrists can perform this procedure in our clinic under local anesthetic, followed by appropriate aftercare advice and guidance on proper nail care to prevent reoccurrence.
Calluses and Corns: If you have hard, thickened areas of skin (calluses or corns) that cause pain or discomfort, a podiatrist can easily remove them and offer advice on how to prevent them in the future.
Thickened Nails: Toenails affected by fungal infections or aging can become thick and difficult to cut properly at home. A podiatrist can carefully trim and thin these nails using special tools to avoid injury or infection.
Verrucae (plural of verruca): These are growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are often painful because of the pressure placed on them during walking. Podiatrists are skilled at diagnosing and safely removing verrucae’s providing lasting relief.
To ensure thorough assessment and treatment, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy movement. Clothing that offers access to the affected area will also help with the examination. Additionally, please bring the footwear you wear regularly as this can give us a valuable insight into how your feet and legs move.
