We have all been there, neglected a niggle in our foot and told ourselves that it will probably go away. Weeks past, even months and it’s only getting worse. Then finally, when we are hobbling around barely able to walk, we decide to seek help…..Well, at Locksbottom Podiatry, we are here to help you.
What is Chiropody?
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. To learn more about the different things that could be treated using chiropody, just keep reading…..

What happens in a chiropody appointment?
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. Normally what happens is the podiatrist will start by cutting your nail, take away any hard skin or corns that may be present and if you’re lucky, you might even get a comfortable spongey padding to go home with to give you that extra spring in your step.

Does Chiropody hurt?
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! Infact, I will never forget the joy on one patient of mine who had pain in her toe for 3 years, had been to see multiple specialists with no success and following a simple corn removal was completely pain free. If that’s not magic, I don’t know what is.
