Our lower limb clinicians will have insight into your overall health, just by looking at your toenails. The lack of vitamins or minerals, or the presence of dehydration, nerve dysfunction and other diseases, such as kidney failure, can be evident to a BioPed Chiropodist just by examining your toenails.
When standing, the body is a closed kinetic chain, meaning what happens in the feet can affect the ankles, knees, hips and back. If the feet are abnormally positioned or their alignment is off, the rest of the body could suffer.
Every single day your feet work tirelessly for you, performing many different tasks - they absorb the impact of thousands of steps, support our entire body weight, and balance us through complex movements. Developing foot pain can be debilitating, and affect your daily life.
Dealing with ingrown toenails can be very frustrating, painful, and can lead to more serious issues, especially if left untreated. Fortunately, there’s a gentle and non-invasive solution that’s helping people find relief without surgery: toenail bracing with the Onyfix® system.
Foot pain, knee pain, and foot care - all reasons to visit a BioPed clinic! At BioPed clinics, you could have an assessment with a Chiropodist, Pedorthist or Footcare Nurse. Each role is vital to our foot care team, and we hope to clarify the differences.
A neuroma is a thickening of nerve tissue that can develop in various parts in the body. The most common neuroma in the foot is a Morton’s neuroma, which develops between the third and fourth toes in the ball of the foot.
Spending most of the day standing or walking can do more than leave you tired; it can lead to chronic foot and leg pain, joint issues, and even circulation problems. Ignoring early signs of discomfort can result in long-term health issues. Understanding what causes this pain, and how to treat it, is the first step toward feeling better.
