The feet support the entire body – therefore foot health has a large impact on one’s overall health.
Whether you have difficulties with your feet or not, it is a good idea to book a podiatry appointment!
A podiatrist is a doctor of podiatric medicine who diagnoses and treats conditions of the foot, ankle,
and related structures of the leg.
What do podiatrists do?
Whilst a podiatrist is great for treating problems with your feet, it is also worth making an
appointment for a general check-up, just as you would with an optician or a dentist. Even if your feet
are in good condition, a podiatrist can check your blood circulation, look at the way you walk and
pick up any minor (or major!) problems. Our podiatrist will be able to check your shoes and make
sure you’re looking after your feet properly.
