At our friendly Podiatry clinic, our Podiatrists can recommend the best supportive shoes for you and your family and to help keep you doing the activities you love without any foot concerns!
School Shoes and Child Assessments
As children’s feet continue to grow up until the age of 15 years, it is extremely important to have regular checkups throughout their adolescence so that any foot developmental problems can be detected early and treated if necessary. Some of these concerns may be knocked knees, flat arches, pronating or rolling in of their feet whilst walking, and signs of tip toeing.
We can advise on correct fitting of your childs school shoes and sporting footwear to prevent any future issues from occurring. Our Podiatrists can also provide different shoe lacing techniques to assist with certain foot conditions and types as well to make shoes more comfortable!
Bunions and other Hereditary conditions
Bunions, Hammertoes and Ingrown toenails are often hereditary problems, but with early intervention, the effects of these common conditions can be minimized or even prevented.
We can provide you with suitable footwear advice for these issues as well as offer a range of products to help assist with ongoing daily care of these conditions.
