General Foot Care
Our clinic offers a full range of podiatry treatments and we pride ourselves on offering a caring and thorough service. We use only sterilised instruments meeting all of the latest Australian standards. We will only ever used sterilised instruments on you.
Corns & Calluses
A callus forms as the body attempts to cushion and protect the foot in areas of excessive pressure. A corn can follow on from this when the pressure is not relieved. They are often very painful and can be described as having a “stone” stuck in your shoe.
Heel Cracks
At times heel cracks can become hard to manage unsightly and painful. While over the counter treatments help if the skin is cracking these alone are often not enough. We are able to offer debridement and smoothing of the skin so this is then easier for you to prevent and manage at home.
