Our feet carry us all day, every day, through life, yet we often neglect their care until they demand our attention. This May, let's prioritize foot health and make strides towards happier, healthier feet.
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.
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.

Fungal toenails, also known as onychomycosis, are a common yet stubborn condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Any fungal foot infection proliferates in hot, moist environments. Toenail fungus occurs when fungi, particularly dermatophytes, invade the nail bed, causing discoloration, thickening, and brittleness. The condition can be challenging to treat due to the fungus residing beneath the toenail, making it harder for medications to reach the source of the infection. If you're struggling with fungal toenails, understanding the causes, symptoms, and the most effective treatment for toe fungus is key to restoring healthy nails.
