Saturday Spotlight - Chilblains ❄️

As the temperature drops, we start to see more patients suffering from chilblains - painful, itchy, red or purple patches on the toes caused by cold, damp weather.

👣 What Are Chilblains?

Chilblains occur when the tiny blood vessels in your toes react poorly to sudden changes in temperature. This leads to inflammation, swelling and discomfort. They’re especially common in winter, on cold mornings or when feet aren’t kept warm enough.

⭐️ Typical Symptoms include:

• Red, purple, or bluish patches on toes
• Itching, burning, or tenderness
• Swelling of one or multiple toes
• Dry or cracked skin (sometimes blistering in severe cases)

⭐️ What Increases the Risk?

• Cold, damp environments
• Poor circulation
• Wearing thin socks or unsupportive shoes in winter
• Rapid warming of cold feet

⭐️ How We Help

Our podiatrists can provide advice on proper winter footwear and socks, skincare routines to prevent cracking, circulation-friendly strategies and assessment of underlying circulation issues if symptoms repeat each winter.

❄️ Winter Tip:

Keep your feet warm - not hot. Choose insulated footwear, thermal socks and avoid drastic temperature changes.

If you’re noticing unusual toe pain or discoloration this winter, we’re here to help keep your feet comfortable and healthy.

📞 Book an appointment today and stay one step ahead of winter foot troubles!

As Podiatrists, being HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) registered isn’t just a title. It’s a commitment to the highest standards of care, professionalism and patient safety.

Being registered with the HCPC ensures that a podiatrist has:

🤍 Completed the required accredited education and training
🤍 Demonstrated the knowledge and skills needed to practise safely
🤍 Agreed to follow strict professional and ethical standards
🤍 Committed to ongoing learning and development

Think of the HCPC as a quality mark. It protects the public by ensuring that only qualified, competent and trustworthy professionals can use protected titles like “Podiatrist” and “Chiropodist.”

🧡 Why is this important for you as a patient?

When you choose an HCPC-registered podiatrist, you can be confident that you are in safe hands. It means:

🤍 You’re being treated by someone properly trained
🤍 Your podiatrist is accountable to a national regulator
🤍 There are clear standards in place to protect your wellbeing

Saturday Spotlight!

Let's talk... Plantar Fasciitis 👣

Do you wake up in the morning and feel a sharp pain in your heel with your first steps? You may be experiencing plantar fasciitis, one of the most common causes of heel pain.

What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia (a thick band of tissue that supports your foot’s arch) becomes irritated or inflamed. This can lead to sharp, stabbing pain, especially first thing in the morning or after long periods of rest.

Common Causes:

✔ Overuse or long periods of standing
✔ Flat feet or high arches
✔ Tight calf muscles
✔ Unsupportive footwear
✔ Increased activity or sudden lifestyle changes

Typical Symptoms:

🔹 Stabbing heel pain on the first steps of the day
🔹 Pain after standing, walking, or running
🔹 Tenderness near the heel or arch

How we can help:

Professional podiatry care can significantly reduce pain and speed up recovery. Treatment options may include:
* Custom orthotics
* Footwear advice
* Stretching and mobility programs
* Anti-inflammatory strategies

If heel or arch pain is interfering with your daily life it’s worth getting it checked. Early intervention can prevent the condition from becoming chronic.

Let's Talk... Ingrown Toenails 🌟

Ingrown toenails are one of the most common (and painful!) conditions we see but the good news is, they’re very treatable.

👣 What Is an Ingrown Toenail?

Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection.

👣 Common Causes:

* Incorrect nail cutting
* Tight or narrow footwear
* Natural nail shape or genetic factors
* Trauma to the toe

👣 How We Can Help:

Our podiatrists offer gentle, effective treatment options including:
* Safe removal of the offending nail edge
* Long-term solutions such as nail surgery (when needed)
* Footwear and nail-care advice to help prevent recurrence

You don’t have to suffer with toe pain. Professional treatment can bring fast relief and long-term results.

Ready for comfortable, pain-free steps again? Book your appointment today!

Let’s Talk…. Cracked Heels 🦶🏼

When the skin around the heel becomes dry and loses moisture, it loses its elasticity and suppleness and will begin to split.

This condition is commonly associated with heel callous (build-up of dead skin). The cracks in the heel can become quite painful depending on their severity, and may bleed and can become infected. This is common as much in the Winter months as it is in the Summer.

The level of skin dryness will vary from person to person. Factors contributing to dry skin include:

🧬 Genetic disposition
👡 backless shoes and sandals.
🦶🏼 Skin conditions such as Psoriasis and eczema
👣 Autonomic neuropathy in those with diabetes leads to less sweating and a dryness of the skin.
💧 Lack of adequate hydration.
👵🏻 Age will thin and dry out the skin.
💨 Exposure to the environment, wind, sun, heat and cold air-conditioning.
🛁 Long hot baths and showers.
☕️ Smoking, caffeine and alcohol intake will increase dryness with a diuretic effect.
🤰 Pregnancy, hormonal changes can affect the skin.
💊 Prescription Medications

If you suffer from cracked heels or dry skin, get in touch to make your appointment and have your feet silky smooth!

🚂 Did you know that our new clinic once was the home of Irvine Train Station?

Some architecture from the old station building still remains and explains our railway inspired art within the waiting room.

Read More 📰 (photos courtesy of Network Rail)

Irvine station opened on 2 June 1890 as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway. It closed between 1 January 1917 and 1 February 1919 due to the wartime economy, and upon the grouping of the L&AR into the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway in 1923, the station was renamed Irvine Bank Street on 2 June, 1924. The station closed to passengers on 28 July, 1930, however, the line continued to be used for freight trains until 1939.

Parts of the former station buildings were used by the Irvine Times local newspaper. The building is still standing today.
