🦶 Corns & Calluses 🦶

Corns and calluses are areas of dead and toughened skin which can be quite painful. 😣 They occur on bony areas of the feet that are subjected to friction and pressure and develop as a result of the body trying to protect itself from these pressures.

Common causes:
👉 High levels of weight bearing activity
👉 Inappropriate footwear
👉 Toe or foot deformities

To prevent corns and calluses from returning you have remove the high pressure and friction from the area. Treatment and prevention of corns includes enucleation, the wearing of toe covers or separators to protect bony prominences, the wearing of good fitting footwear and also the prescription of offloading insoles.

If you're suffering 😣 from corns & calluses, book an appointment to get back to pain-free feet by calling us on ☎️ (08) 6269 2038

If you need footwear advice or notice any pain or differences in your feet such as calluses, cracked heels or fungal infections, then contact us to see a Podiatrist 👨‍⚕️ straight away. Appointments available on ☎️ (08) 6269 2038.

Kinetic Rigid Taping

Kinetic taping is widely used in the treatment and rehabilitation of sporting ⚽️ and athletics. 🏃‍♂️ We use RockTape, which is specifically engineered to mimic the human skin where it encourages blood flow 🩸 and lymphatic drainage, promoting endurance and recovery. 😌 It can also be used to stabilise muscles and joints that have been sprained or strained.

Rigid taping is often used to restrict joint and muscle movement as well as support and compress an inflamed or injured area. To see if this would be the right treatment for you, book an appointment to see one of our Podiatrists, on ☎ (08) 6269 2038

🦶 Ankle Sprain 🦶

Ankle sprains 🦶 occur when when the foot and ankle are in a strained position, causing damage to the muscles, tendons and ligaments. This can occur in both everyday and sporting ⚽️ activities.

Ankle sprains often present as:
⚡️ Pain
⚡️ Localised tenderness
⚡️ Swelling
⚡️ Loss of movement
⚡️ Bruising
⚡️ Weakening of surrounding structures
⚡️ Limping

Our Podiatrists 👩‍⚕️ can provide an assessment of the ankle to determine the severity of the damage, including if there is any damage to surrounding structures of the lower limb. The Podiatrist can then provide a diagnosis and carry out treatment.

If you are suffering from a suspected ankle sprain, see a Podiatrist straight away. Appointments are available on ☎️ (08) 6269 2038
