The treatment of callouses and hard skin is a key chiropody service designed to remove thickened areas of skin that develop due to pressure or friction. A chiropodist uses specialised tools to gently reduce and smooth out these toughened skin patches, alleviating pain and preventing further skin breakdown. Regular treatment can improve foot comfort and appearance, and prevent more serious issues like ulcers, especially for those with underlying health conditions.

Mild corns are small, concentrated areas of hard skin that typically form on the toes due to pressure or friction. Chiropody services for mild corns involve carefully reducing the corn using specialised instruments to relieve pain and prevent it from worsening. The chiropodist may also provide advice on footwear and padding to reduce pressure and prevent future corns from developing.

Basic foot care is an essential chiropody service that includes a general assessment of the feet, nail trimming, skin care, and advice on maintaining foot health. This service is designed to address routine foot care needs and identify potential issues before they develop into more serious problems. It’s particularly important for individuals who may be at higher risk for foot conditions, such as those with diabetes, circulatory issues, or reduced mobility.
