General & Routine Podiatry
Comprehensive Footcare in East Perth
Podiatrists are best known for general and routine podiatry, which involves treating cracked heels, corns, calluses, dry skin, chronic ingrown toenails, hard skin, bumps, and lumps.
You may have heard the term “medical pedicure”, a modern way of describing routine podiatry care. This branch of podiatry differs from traditional salon pedicures in that it focuses on maintaining foot health rather than just aesthetics.
What to expect at a Skin & Nail Care appointment?
Your podiatrist will take a medical history, carefully examine your feet, assess any issues, and use specialised tools to gently remove dead skin, calluses, and corns, trim your nails, and reduce them when required. At times, your podiatrist may consider undertaking a foot neurovascular assessment. You can expect to receive footcare and footwear education during the consultation.
Our podiatrists are gentle and have the right expertise, tools, and equipment to ensure a comfortable experience. Maintaining your foot health with a podiatrist is essential to keeping your feet healthy and pain-free and providing long-term mobility.
