👣 Struggling with a painful toenail? You’re not alone, and you don’t need to suffer.

Do any of these sound familiar?

• Pain or tenderness down one or both sides of your nail
• Redness, swelling, or inflammation around the toenail
• Sharp or stabbing pain when walking or wearing shoes
• Pain even when the bed covers brush against your toe
• Bleeding, infection, or pus
• Feeling miserable from constant discomfort

These are all common signs of an ingrowing toenail, where a splinter of nail pierces the skin and digs into the flesh. It’s extremely painful, and in more severe cases, it can become infected.

Even a nail that curls towards the skin (without fully piercing it) can cause intense discomfort and inflammation.

💙 The good news? We treat this every day; safely, gently, and effectively.

Our experienced podiatrists can remove the offending nail spike, relieve your pain, manage any infection, and advise whether a minor procedure is needed to stop it coming back.

✨ Winter is the perfect time to get it sorted, your toe will be healed and ready long before summer sandals return.

📅 Book your appointment today and take the first step toward pain-free feet.

When foot pain isn’t what you think

A young weight-lifter came to Essex Footcare after two weeks of foot pain that was stopping him from training. He’d tried a pharmacy verruca treatment (thanks to Dr Google!), but it turned out not to be a verruca at all.

The strong acid had burnt his healthy skin and made things worse. On careful examination, our podiatrist found a puncture wound with a piece of glass embedded underneath. It was removed safely and painlessly, and he left walking comfortably again!

✅ Professional diagnosis
✅ Gentle, effective treatment

🥾 There’s nothing better than a family walk after all the eating, drinking, and Christmas cheer!

Grab your wellies, wrap up warm, and head out for a brisk walk, it’s one of the best ways to recharge both body and mind.

Cold noses, rosy cheeks, and muddy boots are all part of the fun, and once you’re home, a well-earned hot chocolate will taste even better. 👣

Here’s to fresh air, movement, and making the most of the festive season! 💙

One of our recent patients, a dedicated firefighter 👨‍🚒, came to us struggling to get his boots on, the pain from an ingrown toenail had become unbearable. After a careful examination, we discovered a sharp spike of nail buried deep and pressing into the skin. Using precision nail nippers, we gently removed it — and the relief was instant.

Now, he’s back on his feet, ready to jump on the truck and keep our community safe. 🚒

Sometimes, even small problems can stop heroes in their tracks — but expert foot care gets them moving again. 💙

We love prescribing each pair of custom orthotics for our patients. After a detailed foot scan, we can see exactly where the issues are, from pressure points to movement imbalances, and create a personalised orthotic that supports the foot, absorbs shock, and cushions every step.

Phits Orthotics aren’t just for elite athletes (though they are used by professionals like Sir Mo Farah, Lily Partridge, and Charlotte Purdue). They’re ideal for everyday life, whether you’re managing foot or heel pain, arch issues, or knee discomfort.

Why our patients love Phits Orthotics:

✅ Precision fit, accurate to 0.1mm
🌱 Eco-friendly and sustainably made
👟 Slim, lightweight, and durable
💪 Pain-relieving, performance-boosting, and preventative

With the right support, you can take those first morning steps without pain, stand comfortably all day, or enjoy walking and running again, knowing your body is fully supported.

Tis the season for christmas parties, dancing, and those high heels that have been waiting in the wardrobe! ✨

But while heels can elevate your outfit (and your confidence), they can also take a serious toll on your feet if you’re not careful.

At Essex Footcare, we often see the after-effects of a night in heels, from blisters and bunions to long-term tendon and joint problems caused by repeated strain and poor support. The good news? You don’t have to suffer for style!

Here are a few of our top tips for stepping out safely and stylishly this festive season:

👠 Go for block or platform heels for better stability and less pressure on your toes.
🌇 Try shoes on later in the day when your feet are slightly swollen for a true fit.
🦶 Use gel inserts, heel grips, or blister pads to protect your feet.
⏳ Pack a pair of flats for the journey home
🧘‍♀️ Soak, stretch, and massage your feet to release tension and prevent stiffness.

If you find that foot or heel pain lingers long after the party’s over, don’t ignore it, pain is your body’s way of saying something’s not right. Our podiatrists can help identify the cause and get you back to feeling your best.

A gait and motion assessment can improve your day-to-day life if you are suffering from foot pain like Joanne. She kindly wrote this review for our Basildon clinic.

“I would absolutely recommend - the staff are really friendly, professional and put you at total ease. I was suffering from pain in my left foot to the point where it was affecting my day-to-day life. I visited Sushila and she was so reassuring, thoroughly assessing my problems and sorted me out with a pair of orthotics to try. I then returned for them to be checked and a general foot health session. Since this appointment, I continue to attend regularly and I am so happy - my feet are no longer painful, my skin has improved. My nails are now cut properly and are being treated with the appropriate lotions, which are regularly assessed and altered accordingly. I welcome the advice I receive from Sushila - I have swapped to wearing bamboo socks and such a simple change has made a huge difference. Please dont waste time and money trying to self treat/cure - pop along and see these guys. You will be relieved and amazed with the results”

At Essex Footcare, we’re more than a foot clinic, we’re your partners in comfort, confidence, and wellbeing.
