Podiatry assessment
The purpose of the foot check-up is to assess the health of your feet. It is an opportunity to determine whether they are well positioned and functional, because a problem with the feet can lead to knee or back pain.
Chiropody / Medical pedicure

What pathologies can be treated by a podiatrist?
There many pathologies associated with podology that vary across subjects such as the mechanics of the foot, conditions of the nails and conditions of the skin.
At the first sight of unusual appearances on your feet, pain or discomfort in these areas, it is best to consult a podiatrist who will then propose the best possible solution and will offer reliable treatments.
