Podiatry - The salon

11/12/2025

As the holiday season approaches, I want to take a moment to wish all my past, present, and future patients a Merry Christmas and a joyful New Year! Your continued trust in my podiatry services means the world to me.

Please note that I am fully booked until January 7th, but my website remains open for appointments for the New Year. Feel free to visit www.pickering-podiatry.co.uk to schedule your next visit and ensure your foot health is a priority as we enter the new year.

As the colder days set in, don’t forget to keep your feet warm and opt for suitable non-slip footwear when you're out and about. It's also important to check in on your loved ones' feet – this is an often-overlooked part of health that deserves attention. If you notice they need assistance and would struggle to visit the clinic, please reach out to me. I’m happy to arrange a home visit for those who require it.

Wishing you all a warm and wonderful festive season!

Looking ahead, November is filling up quickly, but I still have openings for new patients! Don’t forget to plan ahead by scheduling your December appointments, as the clinic will be closed for routine visits over the festive period.

✨ Welcome to Pickering Podiatry! ✨

As the weather is started to get a little colder and wetter, it's important to pay extra attention to your feet. Here are some tips to keep your feet healthy.

1. Keep Them Dry: Dampness can lead to fungal infections. Make sure to dry your feet thoroughly after washing and consider changing socks during the day if your feet get wet.

2. Moisturise: Dry skin is common in cold weather. Use a good quality foot cream to keep your skin hydrated, but avoid putting lotion between your toes to prevent fungal issues.

3. Wear Appropriate Footwear: Choose shoes that are warm, waterproof, and provide adequate grip to prevent slips and falls. Insulated boots can be a great option!

4. Stay Active: Keep your circulation going by staying active. Simple exercises like toe wiggles and foot stretches can help improve blood flow.

5. Check for Issues: Regularly inspect your feet for any changes. Look for blisters, calluses, or discoloration, especially if you have diabetes or other health conditions.

👣🌟 Do You Know What Your Foot Pain Is Trying to Tell You? 🌟👣

Your feet are the foundation of your body, and when they hurt, it can be hard to stay on your toes! But what’s causing that nagging pain? Here are a few common culprits:

🔍 Plantar Fasciitis: Feeling sharp pain in your heel when you get out of bed? This is often due to inflammation in the tissue that supports your arch!

🔍 Achilles Tendinitis: If you experience pain at the back of your heel, especially after activity, it might be time to check your Achilles tendon!

🔍 Neuromas: If you feel a tingling or burning sensation between your toes, it could be a thickening of nerve tissue.

🔍 Flat Feet: Struggling with arch pain? Flat feet can cause discomfort and lead to a range of issues.

🚶‍♀️ Don’t let foot pain slow you down! If you are struggling with any foot complaints then we are here to help, there are a few remaining appointments available over the next couple of weeks. Empower your well-being and reclaim your stride!

Finding the Ideal Footwear 🦶

When it comes to foot health, choosing the right footwear is essential. Understanding what makes the ideal shoe can significantly impact your comfort and overall well-being. Here are key factors to consider when selecting shoes:

1. Arch Support: Look for shoes with proper arch support to help distribute weight evenly and reduce strain on your feet.

2. Cushioning: Ample cushioning in the sole absorbs shock and provides comfort, especially for those who spend long hours on their feet.

3. Fit: Ensure the shoes fit well – there should be enough room for your toes to move and wiggle without being cramped. Try shoes on later in the day when your feet are at their largest.

4. Breathability: Choose materials that allow for airflow, keeping your feet cool and dry to prevent discomfort and conditions like athlete's foot.

5. Flexibility: A good shoe should bend at the ball of the foot, allowing for natural movement.

6. Durability: Consider the material and build quality of the shoe. Investing in a durable pair of shoes can save money in the long run.

7. Heel Height: Avoid excessively high heels, as they can lead to foot pain and imbalances. Opt for a moderate heel that offers stability.

8. Style: While function is crucial, finding styles that you love will motivate you to wear them regularly.

9. Consult a Professional: If you have specific foot issues, it may be beneficial to consult with a podiatrist to get recommendations tailored to your needs.

At Pickering Podiatry, we are dedicated to helping you with all your lower limb needs keeping your feet healthy and pain-free. Visit www.pickering-podiatry.co.uk to book an appointment 🦶
