There are many painful conditions that affect the foot and ankle which Podiatry can successfully treat and manage. Sure Step Podiatry deal with painful ingrown toenails on a daily basis, giving people immediate relief in many cases. Some chronic ingrown toenails may require a simple procedure called a partial nail avulsion and these are routinely performed in our practice. Pressure callouses and corns can also be relieved with one treatment. Other painful conditions that affect the foot and ankle are tendinopathies, muscular strains and stress fractures. These are usually caused by over use and poor foot posture or mechanics. These chronic conditions can be successfully managed with exercises, strapping and possibly orthoses. Sure Step Podiatry can also manage acute sprains and strains. We can refer for medical imaging such as X Rays and MRI’s if required and formulate an appropriate treatment plan . Sure Step Podiatry is here to support General Practice. We can relieve the pressure on our GP’s by successfully managing painful conditions of the foot and ankle and referring only when necessary. We have taken extreme measures to protect ourselves and our patients in this challenging time.
