Dry needling, also known as myofascial trigger point dry needling, is an effective technique used to treat chronic muscle pain. It involves the insertion of dry needles - ones without medicine or injection - through the skin and into the underlying muscle. This technique gives the practitioner access to muscles that are otherwise difficult to treat.
You will be given a local anesthetic in your toe. Once it has taken full affect you will no longer feel pain but you will feel the podiatrist touching and moving your toe. Podiatry is the word used to describe the branch of medicine concerned with the lower limb, particularly the foot and ankle. Podiatrists diagnose, treat and prevent foot problems using chemical, physical, mechanical and surgical therapies.

Plantar Fasciitis is the most common condition of heel pain.

The pain of plantar fasciitis is usually located close to where the fascia attaches to the calcaneous, also known as the heel bone.

Celia is knowledgeable, professional and a super friendly podiatrist. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my feet. After experiencing chronic hip pain after a sports injury, Celia was able to diagnose and treat the problem with the application of orthotics and appropriate stretches. Celia also managed to eliminate unsightly corns on my toes which I didn't think were possible to remove. Would recommend Stepping Up to everyone!
