Put very simply, Chiropody is the treatment of the feet and their ailments. Chiropody treatment mainly involves the treatment of skin and nail conditions but injury to the skin and/or nails could also come under this remit.

There are a lot of conditions related to the feet and I have only mentioned the common ones that we see. If you have any concerns about your feet be sure to give us a call or pop in to get more information from one of our Podiatrists
Chiropody appointments should be a really enjoyable experience. Your podiatrist will assess your feet and take care of any areas that need a bit of TLC.
Typically, the podiatrist will begin by cutting your nail, removing any hard skin or corns that may be present, and if you're lucky, you may even be given a comfortable spongey padding to take home with you to give you that extra spring in your step.
Usually someone will go in to a chiropody appointment in some pain or discomfort and come out feeling like they have two new feet with a pep in their step. It’s like magic. This is why I sometimes tell people that I am a wizard!
In fact, I will never forget the joy of one of my patients who had pain in her toe for three years, had seen multiple specialists with no success, and was completely pain-free after a simple corn removal.
If that’s not magic, I don’t know what is!
This is a common question that I get asked every day. Chiropody encompasses the treatment of skin or nail conditions including corns, callus, fungal skin, nail infections and verruca treatment.
Podiatry, however, is more of a foot doctor, and as well as doing normal chiropody, they also treat injuries of the foot such as plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, lower limb muscular issues, postural/walking defects, as well as diabetic assessment and wound healing.
Podiatrists are trained to carry out the treatments required in both professions.

When Jean visited the Achilles Foot Clinic, she had been suffering from knee pain for over two years.
But unfortunately, she was no closer to solving her problem after paying countless consultants.
After seeing an ad in her local newspaper from Achilles Foot Clinic she decided to give it one last try. Jean's knee pain was relieved after only one visit!
This meant Jean could get back to doing the things she loves, like walking the Camino

Before Finbar visited the Achilles Foot Clinic, he was suffering from severe pain in both his feet that made it even difficult to get out of bed, let alone run a half marathon, which was one of his goals.
Finbar thought it was because he was getting old, but it turned out he had painful plantar fasciitis.
Finbar started a two-and-a-half-month treatment plan that included exercises to stretch the tendon and custom orthotics to give his foot support.
As a result, Finbar was able to line up and compete in the half marathon, which was something that he never thought he would be able to do.

After seeing two consultants for her chronic knee pain, Nuala decided to visit the Achilles Foot Clinic.
But, the worst part was that her knee pain stopped her from doing things she loved, like hill walking.
As a result, her knee pain prevented her from walking for more than 30 mins.
After Nuala completed her treatment plan, she could return to hill walking and keep walking for up to 5.5 hours.
