Experience the highest standard of podiatric care at My Podiatrist Canberra, where your foot health and comfort are our top priorities.A general foot care appointment involves a thorough examination and assessment of the feet, ankles, and lower extremities. Whether you are seeking routine foot care or addressing specific concerns, a podiatrist will typically follow a structured process to diagnose, treat, and provide preventive care.
Our podiatrists provide meticulous care, including precise toenail trimming, removal of calluses and corns, and guidance on footcare and proper footwear. Blood flow to the feet can also be checked if warranted.
Other conditions that we often address during a general consult include:
- Fungal Nail Infections (Onychomycosis): Fungal infections of the toenails can lead to discoloration, thickening, and crumbling of the nails. Podiatrists can recommend antifungal medications, recommend topical treatments, and provide advice on preventing recurrence.
- Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis): A common fungal infection that affects the skin between the toes, causing itching, redness, and scaling. Podiatrists can recommend antifungal medications and offer guidance on proper foot hygiene.
- Plantar Warts: Warts on the soles of the feet, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), can be painful and bothersome. Podiatrists can use various treatments, including topical acids, cryotherapy, or dry needling, to remove plantar warts.
- Corns and Calluses: Thickened and hardened areas of skin often caused by friction or pressure. Podiatrists can safely debride and remove these areas to alleviate discomfort and provide advice on preventing their recurrence.
- Blisters: Fluid-filled pockets that can form on the skin due to friction or irritation. Podiatrists can provide guidance on proper blister care and prevention.
- Cracked Heels: Dry and cracked skin on the heels can be painful and may lead to deeper fissures. Podiatrists debride around the fissures and can offer moisturising recommendations and address underlying issues contributing to the problem.
