At Norwest Podiatry, we understand how important it is to have healthy, pain-free feet. Whether you’re dealing with dry skin, thickened toenails, corns, or callouses, our team is here to help. Common foot problems can develop over time due to aging, poorly fitted shoes, improper toenail cutting, or health conditions like diabetes that affect circulation. That’s why regular foot care with a qualified podiatrist is essential for maintaining your mobility and overall well-being.
Our clinic offers comprehensive podiatry services for people of all ages. We specialise in Medical Pedicure, corn and callus removal, thick or fungal toenail treatment, and diabetic foot care. If you’re elderly or have trouble reaching your feet, we can assist with nail trimming and general maintenance. We always follow strict hygiene protocols using sterile instruments and aseptic techniques to ensure your safety.
A corn on foot is a small, thickened area of skin that forms as a protective response to repeated pressure or friction usually caused by tight footwear, abnormal walking patterns, or foot deformities. Corns typically develop on the tops and sides of toes or the soles of the feet, and they can be either hard or soft, depending on their location. Hard corns are firm and dense, while soft corns appear between the toes and are more rubbery in texture. Though small, corns can become painful, especially when walking or standing for long periods, affecting your comfort and mobility.
Effective corn treatment begins with identifying the underlying cause of the pressure or friction. One of our podiatrist can safely remove the thickened skin using sterile instruments and recommend solutions like protective padding, custom orthotics, or appropriate footwear to prevent recurrence. It’s important to avoid DIY methods or over-the-counter corn plasters, as they can damage healthy skin. In persistent or severe cases, your podiatrist may assess for structural issues in the foot and advise long-term solutions to offload pressure. With professional care, most corns on the foot can be treated successfully, relieving discomfort and preventing future issues.
Onychomycosis or fungal nails are an increasing problem. Approximately 10% of the population is affected. Fungal nail infections have many causes usually use of non-sterile instruments in pedicure places or damage to the nail itself is the biggest factor. Some common signs are White or yellowish streaks on the nail, crumbling, distorted, brittle or thickened nail.
