Routine Foot Care
01. Nail Care
Dr Evans can trim your toenails properly. This is especially important for individuals who have difficulty doing it themselves. She can address ingrown toenails, thickened nails, and fungal nail infections.
02. Thickened Toenails
Dr Evans can thin thickened toenails and rule out fungal infection within the nail structure. This reduces pressure on the toe and within the shoe.
If a fungus is diagnosed, treatment can be initiated.
03. Calluses
Calluses are areas of thickened, hardened skin that can cause pain and discomfort. Dr Evans is trained and licensed to remove these with a scalpel.
04. Corns
A corn is a small, localized area of thickened and hardened skin that typically develops on the feet, especially on the tops and sides of toes or on the soles. Corns are caused by repeated pressure or friction on the skin.
05. Comprehensive Foot Examination
Whilst you are visiting with Dr Evans at your routine appointment, she is conducting a thorough foot exam to assess your overall foot health. This includes checking for signs of deformities, skin conditions, circulation problems, and nerve damage. Anything new or unusual can then be addressed and further assessed.
Regular visits to a podiatrist for routine foot care are especially important for individuals with diabetes, circulation problems, neuropathy, or a history of foot issues.
Dr Evans can offer specialized care tailored to individual needs, promoting overall foot health and mobility.
