This is a common concern but your treatment should be pain free. Conditions such as ingrown toenail may be sensitive to treat however, great relief is experienced following the treatment of a painful area. As a Foot Health Practitioner I am trained to deal with your feet in a way which is firm and professional so that even people with very sensitive or ticklish feet will find the treatment comfortable. I have seen feet of all shapes and with all manner of problems or conditions so please be reassured, there is no reason to be embarrassed. I am here to help.

Every individual is different but in general it is advisable for your feet to be treated every six to eight weeks however, this will very much depend upon your individual requirements and treatment plan.

A Foot Health Practitioner (FHP) is a professional clinician who works to maintain the healthy state of the foot and treats those common conditions and minor ailments which affect the foot. The work of the FHP is non-invasive but can include use of the safe scalpel technique for the reduction of hard skin, calluses or the enucleation of corns. Knowledge of the patients medical history is taken into account to execute the work safely and cause no medical complication. The FHP contributes to the health of their patients by screening and alerting other specialists to indicated diabetes mellitus, potential ulceration and other conditions. The FHP specialises in the foot only.

A Chiropodist or to use the more modern term, Podiatrist, holds a degree level qualification and will have studied the lower limb as well as the foot. A Podiatrist is capable of taking on those cases requiring specialist leg and foot support that cannot be delivered by the FHP. Podiatrists can have access to local anaesthetics and perform more advanced and invasive treatments.
