At Penguin Podiatry, we deal with any foot and lower limb condition. The most common complaints Podiatrists get are for heel pain, corns, callous, plantar fasciitis and ingrown toe nails.

Causes of foot pain can stem from any number of possible sources varying from flat feet / high arched feet, inappropriate footwear to diseases such as Psoriasis, Diabetes and Rheumatoid arthritis. Patients vary in age from babies to the elderly and basically anyone who has feet.

So if you have any of the following concerns listed below a Penguin Podiatry can help:

• Children’s foot issues like growing pains, tripping, in toeing
• Drop foot, pigeon toes, hammer toes or knock knees
• Foot injuries from work or play
• Foot odour
• Health problems such as Diabetes, Cancer or severe arthritis that effect your feet
• Heel, arch and foot pain like Plantar Fasciitis
• Ingrown nails, which can be removed relatively painlessly on most occasions.  However, in some instances, a local anaesthetic may be required, which a Podiatrist is qualified to administer

• Pressure ulcerations and neuropathic ulcerations
