Podiatry
Podiatry specializes in the study, diagnosis, and treatment of foot disorders and abnormalities. In this context, conditions such as ingrown toenails and plantar corns are commonly treated, requiring specific interventions and ongoing care to ensure proper healing and management.
Orthoplasty offers corrective and supportive solutions for various toe deformities and conditions. A comprehensive podiatric assessment, including a thorough review of medical history and symptoms, is essential to determine appropriate treatment plans and to design custom orthotics for optimal comfort and support.
Ingrown toenail
Ingrown toenail is a common condition that occurs when the edge of the nail penetrates the surrounding skin, causing inflammation, tenderness, and sometimes an infection.
Treatment for ingrown toenails may vary depending on the severity of your condition. In mild to moderate cases, we perform an appropriate trimming of the nail to reduce pressure and prevent it from penetrating further into the skin. We will also give you advice on the best way to take care of your nails at home, including proper trimming techniques and preventive care.
Plantar corn
The plantar corn is a common condition that generally forms under the sole of the foot due to excessive pressure or repeated friction. It is a thickening of the skin that can be painful and cause discomfort while walking.
For larger or persistent plantar corns, we offer professional treatments such as grinding or corn cutting. These procedures are performed with precision and expertise to remove the keratinized layer and relieve pressure on the skin beneath.
Orthoplasty
Orthoplasty is a technique that involves designing and manufacturingspecial orthoses made of silicone to correct, support, and protect toe deformities and certain conditions such as: claw toes, hallux valgus, and interdigital corns.
Performed by podiatrists or orthotists, orthoplasty involves a thorough examination of the foot to create a custom orthosis. The orthoses, made from high-quality silicone, are designed to relieve pain and improve foot functionality. However, they are part of a broader approach that may include changing footwear, physiotherapy, and sometimes surgery. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
Podiatric assessment
The podiatric assessment is an essential step to understand the condition of your feet, detect potential problems, and establish an appropriate treatment plan. During your consultation, our team of qualified professionals will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your feet, taking into account your medical history, your symptoms, and your concerns.
