As you navigate your way around this web site hopefully you will learn a little about what a podiatrist does, common foot conditions, our services and treatments and how we can help you. Often our feet provide the first sign, which gives an indication of our overall health. Signs of arthritis, diabetes, and nerve and circulatory disorders can all be detected in our feet.
So we must ensure that they get the expert care they need and deserve at all stages in our lives. Anyone who has had a foot, ankle or leg problem knows how incapacitating it can be. Often you put up with pain that you don't need to. Or you may simply let what you consider a minor condition go untreated.

Services
Probably the most recognised role of a Podiatrist is the provision of routine clinical general foot care podiatric treatment and nail maintenance for people who are unable to manage themselves. There are various reasons that the once basic task of cutting and managing your own toenails can become a tiring or risky challenge.
Orthotics are devices which are placed inside your footwear and are designed to support, biomechanically align or improve the function of the foot. There are various types of orthotics, the most common types are (OTC) over the counter type and custom orthotics. Whilst (OTC) devices have uses, they are not comparable to the devices prescribed by Podiatry North in terms of function, fit and longevity.
