Podiatry is the practice of medicine, which analyses and diagnoses disorders in the feet, ankles and lower leg. There can be many different causes of foot discomfort and pain, including corns, calluses, verrucae and even damaged toenails. A qualified podiatrist can correctly diagnose your condition and provide effective treatment, whether it be a change in footwear for ingrown toenails, soft tissue mobilisation or treatment for verrucae.
