Prevention advice
You will be guided on footwear, creams, home care, pressure reduction or when another appointment type may be more appropriate.

Chiropody treatment FAQs.
What is chiropody treatment?
Chiropody treatment usually refers to routine foot care, including help with nails, hard skin, corns, cracked heels and common skin or nail concerns.
Can corns be removed in one appointment?
Corns can often be reduced or removed comfortably in clinic, although recurring corns may need advice on footwear, pressure reduction or orthotics.
Can you help with thick or difficult nails?
Yes. Podiatrists can reduce and manage thickened or difficult nails and advise whether fungal testing or another treatment route is needed.
Should I book this for an ingrown toenail?
Mildly curved or uncomfortable nails may be suitable for routine foot care. If you have infection, acute pain or a recurring ingrown toenail, nail surgery assessment may be more appropriate.
How often should I book routine foot care?
This depends on your skin, nails, footwear, medical history and how quickly symptoms return. Your podiatrist can advise a suitable follow-up interval.
