Foot Health service
The Foot Health service provides specialist care to a diverse
group of patients with foot and lower limb problems.
The experienced team of podiatrists assess and diagnose any
deformity or pathology of the foot with access to latest
technology. Commonly seen foot conditions include:
- Heel pain
- Ingrowing toenails
- Corns and callous caused by foot deformity associated with
arthritis
- Wounds related to long term medical conditions
Podiatrists at City and Hackney, including specialists in
biomechanics and diabetes, provide skilled, evidence-based care to
meet specific patient needs. A comprehensive range of treatment
options is provided, such as:
- Shoe inserts to control foot and leg function and reduce
discomfort
- Advanced wound healing therapies
- Nail surgery
- Patient advice
Our aim is to relieve pain, maintain patient mobility and
function and prevent any further complications. General care is
provided regularly for those eligible, based on medical and
clinical need, to facilitate independent living.
Said one Foot Health service user in February 2007:
"Delighted with the wonderful efficient service. The team has
changed my life from pain everyday to being able to walk and stand
pain free. Thank you."
