Top Reasons to Visit a Podiatry Clinic: Caring for Your Feet
One of the advantages of getting checked by a podiatrist is that they can examine the condition and health of your feet, including heel pain, abnormal gait or ingrown toenails.
Foot and ankle injuries
Common injuries or pain that can occur to your foot or ankle:
- Achilles rupture
- Fractures
- Sprained ankles
- Neuroma (burning or tingling sensation under your toes)
It is important to contact a foot and ankle specialist following an injury, or if you are experiencing continues pain to your foot or ankle before issues worsen and surgery is the only option.
Diabetic patients
Diabetic patients may not feel issues that affect such parts of their body like blisters, this is due to the volume of blood flowing to their extremities is lower than it would be with someone who does not have the condition. This may also cause a blister to take more time to heal, thus increasing the chance of getting an infection. A podiatrist can carry out regular treatment for diabetic patients, to ensure good foot health.
There are several other reasons why you should visit a podiatric clinic, this may include:
- Flat foot deformity
- Ingrown or fungal nail issues
- Corns, calluses and bursas
- Verruca or plantar wart
- Painful bunions
