We spend a lot of time on our feet — so it’s no surprise that pain can show up from time to time. But ongoing discomfort in your heel, arch or forefoot isn’t something to ignore. It could be a sign of underlying issues like plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, bursitis, bunions, corns and calluses, plantar warts, stress fractures, arthritis, or even a Lisfranc injury.
From cracked heels to fungal nails, skin and nail problems can affect your confidence, comfort, and overall foot health. Many common issues — like corns, calluses, warts, ingrown toenails, and fungal nail infections — are best treated early to prevent infection and long-term discomfort.
Diabetes can affect the nerves and blood flow in your feet, making you more vulnerable to injury, infection, and delayed healing. Even small issues like a blister or dry skin can become serious if left untreated. Regular podiatry checks are essential for preventing complications like ulcers, poor circulation, or neuropathy — especially if you’ve lost feeling in your feet or noticed changes in skin colour, nail health, or foot shape.
As we get older, it’s common for feet to become more painful, less flexible, or harder to manage. Arthritis, circulation issues, and changes in balance or skin health can all affect your mobility — but one of the most overlooked challenges is simply not being able to reach your feet.
Whether it’s trimming toenails, checking for pressure areas, or managing ongoing foot pain, many older adults find it harder to stay on top of foot care without support.
Neuromas are painful nerve growths that can develop in the ball of your foot. Our podiatrists provide expert treatment for neuromas to relieve your pain.
Kids' feet are still growing and developing — and early intervention can make a big difference. Whether your child is walking on their toes, complaining of foot pain, or showing signs of flat feet, we’re here to help with gentle, evidence-based care.
