Foot care within the chiropody scope of practice.
From a first assessment through to wound management and custom orthotics, here is what our chiropodists treat. Contact us for further information or to arrange an appointment.
01
Start here
Every new patient begins with an assessment and treatment in the same appointment.
- Initial foot care assessment & treatment
- Think Feet is always welcoming new patients. A first appointment includes both an initial assessment and treatment with a chiropodist, including review of your foot concerns, examination, and an individualised treatment plan.
- Chiropody & foot care
- Ongoing basic and advanced foot care: nail and callus care, skin lesions, pain assessment, and education on maintaining your foot health between visits.
- Biomechanical assessment & custom orthotics
- A biomechanical assessment determines the best device for you, considering weight, foot position and lesions. Custom orthotics are cast with Plaster of Paris and foam boxes and manufactured to prescription — soft, semi-rigid or rigid.
02
Medical & high-risk foot care
Care coordinated with your wider health care team.
- Diabetic foot care & screening
- Diabetes affects the whole body, and the feet carry the greatest risk. We screen, monitor and treat diabetic foot changes to protect sensation, circulation and skin integrity.
- Peripheral vascular disease foot care
- PVD affects the blood vessels supplying the extremities. As the feet are furthest from the heart they are affected first — we assess, treat and monitor to reduce risk.
- Rheumatoid arthritis foot care
- Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease that can change bone shape and toe positioning. We manage pressure areas, footwear and pain related to those changes.
- Foot ulcer care & wound management
- Foot ulcers are open wounds or cuts that are not healing. We debride, dress, offload and monitor wounds, and work with your care team where needed.
03
Pain, structure & deformity
Keeping you mobile, comfortable and active.
- Foot deformity care
- There are many causes for changes in the shape of a person's foot, including arthritis, footwear and structural change. We assess and manage the deformity and the pressure it creates.
- Foot strain care
- Foot strain describes pain felt when standing and/or walking. We identify the cause, treat the tissue involved and address footwear or mechanics behind it.
- Clawed toe & hammer toe care
- Toe deformities change how pressure travels through the forefoot. Treatment focuses on relieving lesions, protecting the toes and improving footwear fit.
04
Skin & nail treatments
The everyday problems that stop people walking comfortably.
- Toe nail treatments & ONYFIX
- Nail care, ingrown nail treatment and partial nail avulsion surgery. ONYFIX is a non-invasive, non-surgical nail correction system we now offer, and it can also be combined with surgery to improve nail shape as it grows out.
- Corn & callus treatment
- Corns and calluses form where pressure concentrates. We remove them comfortably and address the cause so they return more slowly.
- Plantar wart treatment
- Plantar warts are raised areas combined with callus, often circular, and can be painful under pressure. Several treatment options are available.
- Athlete's foot & fungal treatment
- Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal infection that can present as a rash or blisters. We diagnose, treat and advise on preventing recurrence.
- Blister foot care
- Blisters occur when fluid collects under the top layer of skin, usually from friction or pressure. We treat the blister and the cause behind it.
