- Plantar warts

Your First Visit
During your appointment, your chiropodist will begin by discussing your foot concerns, medical history, medications, and any previous foot treatments. This information helps us understand your needs and develop the most appropriate treatment plan.
A comprehensive foot assessment may include:
- Examination of your skin and toenails
- Assessment of circulation and blood flow
- Evaluation of nerve sensation and foot health
- Assessment of foot structure and alignment
- Review of any pain, pressure points, or areas of concern
Treatment During Your Appointment
Depending on your needs, treatment may be provided during the same visit. This can include (but not limited to) skin and nail care, diabetic foot care, foot health education, and using treatment modalities such as shockwave therapy or cold LASER therapy.
What Should I Bring?
For your appointment, please bring:
- A list of current medications
- Any relevant medical information
