You are probably very well aware that your podiatrist will treat problems such as sporting injuries, ingrown toenails, nail and skin disorders, joint and bone disorders, circulatory and neurological complaints and even muscular problems but the services offered by your local podiatry clinic extend further than that.
Have you ever had an exhausting day at work, gone home, removed your shoes, kicked your feet up and just breathed a really long sigh of relief?
If you work in one of the many professions that require you to be on your feet all day, every day, a podiatrist could help you to come up with practical solutions. Factory workers, hairdressers, nurses and other healthcare professionals – all industries that are renowned for their leg work. As well as helping you find the right footwear to get you through the long days comfortably, your podiatrist could help you with relaxation techniques to quickly ease tension and aches in your lower limbs as well as massage therapies you can easily do at home to alleviate swollen ankles or puffy feet.
In fact there are more than a few conditions you didn’t know your podiatrist could treat. Take a look at some of these:
1. Diabetics
2. Knee Problems
3. Toe Nail Trimming
All from going to the podiatrist!
