Every foot Is unique, so we make customised orthoses as treatment for many lower limb problems. At Step Smart Podiatry we use scanning technology to take 3D images of your feet, then design orthotics customised for your feet and injury. Orthotics change the load patterns of the foot to improve function and performance, and also help manage injuries.
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of a nail applies too much pressure on or pierces the skin of the nail sulci. It is a painful condition and one of the most common conditions we help our patients with. Nail surgery is a common procedure used at Step Smart Podiatry to effectively treat ingrown toenails.
Many people find it difficult to care for their skin and nail problems. In some cases, nails can be difficult or painful to cut, or skin can be hard and thick. Corns can develop in this hard skin if left for long periods without treatment. Most general care is done on a 6-8 week basis.
