General Information
Much of the work is routine and often requires repeat at determined intervals. In many cases, there is need for routine maintenance occasioned by diabetes mellitus, arthritic hands, eye troubles, ankyloses of the spine, obesity, pregnancy, and just for patients own comfort with no medical conditions. Many patients will simply have difficulty reaching their feet for maintenance - others appreciate the help of a practitioner who they can trust to trim and maintain their nails properly. Many of the conditions encountered are directly attributable to the ageing process. Hip and knee pathologies contribute considerably to the need.
The need of referral of cases requiring the expertise of other medical professionals is well understood. Ethics consistent with the medical professions are held, recognised and respected.
