Chiropody

Podiatry care, or chiropody, is a podiatric treatment focused on the removal of calluses, corns, and other issues related to toenails.

Calluses and corns are areas of thickened skin that develop as a result of repeated pressure or friction in a specific area of the foot. These conditions are common in people who spend a lot of time standing or who wear tight footwear. Calluses and corns can cause discomfort, pain, and even hinder the patient's mobility.

For the treatment of calluses and corns, it is important to examine and treat these areas to relieve the patient's discomfort and prevent complications such as ulcers or infections. Treatments may include careful removal of the thickened tissue, the use of pads or protective cushions to reduce pressure, and advice on proper foot care and footwear.
