We treat a wide range of common foot conditions such as fungal nails and arthritis, ingrown toenails, shin splints and more. We believe that conditions should not hold you back, and we work collaboratively to come up with a treatment plan and strategies to allow you to enjoy life to the fullest. Fungal infections in the nail often begin at the tip of the nail, gradually moving underneath the nail.
It is a common and treatable condition if you receive the advice and treatment options that are correct for you. It occurs when fungal microorganisms inhabit the nails. Additionally, these organisms prefer a dark and warm environment and toenails provide this. Fungal nail infections often begin at the tip of the nail and gradually move underneath the nail.
It is an inflammation, irritation or degeneration of the plantar fascia. Additionally, it is a band of tissue under the foot that connects the heel bone to the ball of the foot. In the past, this condition was known as heel spur syndrome. However, current research suggests that plantar fasciitis is a separate issue to pain caused by heel spurs.
Symptoms include a gradual onset of pain at the back of the heel, stiffness and aching. In addition, the tendon is usually tender to the touch, and may contain lumps known as nodules. Additionally, if you experience severe pain after exercising, swelling of the back of the heel after physical activity or thickening of the tendon, these are all symptoms of achilles tendinitis.

Absolutely disinterested and unwilling staff and unskilled podiatrist. Took 4 appointments over 6 months to heal from a Plantar plate issue. It was misdiagnosed from the start. No questions about anything of my activity or history between appointments - i had to suggest the questions they should be asking me as to why it was taking so long to heal. I ordered an orthotic that took 3 months to arrive - turned out it was sitting at reception the whole time. Every time I arrived I would be treated like they knew nothing about me and I had to start again. Quickly checking the computer every few minutes
