What is Podiatry? Podiatry in Littlehampton

Podiatry refers to the specialised treatment of the feet and ankles. A podiatrist is an expert on feet and ankle-related issues and is able to provide specific care to reduce pain and maintain mobility for all ages. 
 
People typically see a podiatrist for advice and treatment of the following symptoms/issues:
  • Thickened, painful, or fungal nails
  • Corn and callus removal
  • Diabetes-related foot problems
  • Pain in the ankles or feet

 

If you feel your feet are in good condition it can be worth consulting a podiatrist to carry out an assessment of the feet, as well as giving advice on general foot care.

What is the difference between Chiropody and Podiatry?

In real-world terms, Podiatrists and Chiropodists carry the same levels of qualification and can offer the same level of foot care, the only true difference is in the title! We offer Podiatry in Littlehampton. At Littlehampton Natural Health Centre you can rest assured that your feet are in good hands.

Your First Podiatry Appointment

During your first consultation, your podiatrist will take a full medical history as well as carry out basic tests. Any concerns can be discussed at this point and if appropriate, minor issues can be identified and treated in the consultation. Further sessions may be necessary, in which case a treatment plan, specifically tailored to your needs can be discussed. 

Depending on the problem and the treatment offered, you may be given advice on self-care, regular podiatry follow-up consultations, or referral for further treatment with other practitioners.


Follow Up and Routine Appointments

At your first consultation, your podiatrist will explain what follow-up or routine care is required based on your case. There are many conditions that can be helped with a number of treatments, however, there are others such as nail care, diabetic foot care, amongst others that will require ongoing or longer periods of care. The follow-up or routine visits will be to continue your care as required. If you are unsure how long you need for your next appointment, please call our friendly reception team on 01903 734373


30-minute Appointments

Our most popular option. Good if you need nail care and callus/corn removal, or if your nails are thickened/fungal and require more time. Also recommended for ingrown toenail care.


45-minute Appointments

Good if there are multiple issues present, for example very long nails and areas of hard skin or multiple deep corns present. Highly recommended if you require significant callus debridement (removal).


15-minute Free Assessment

If you are unsure of what type of appointment to book, or whether Podiatry is the right service for you, please book in for our free 15-minute assessment with our Podiatrist. They will be able to discuss your requirements, perform a quick examination and determine whether they think Podiatry is the right service for you and what New Patient appointment is best for you to book. No treatment or professional advice will be provided at this free assessment. 


45-minute Biomechanical Assessment

A consultation with the Podiatrist, carrying out a comprehensive gait analysis and assessment of the body's lower limb biomechanics with advice on suitable treatments to help correct any problems. 


Wound Dressings & Recovery Checks

Occasionally the podiatrist may need to see you to check on the healing progress of a wound, such as an ulcer or a bad ingrown toenail. If wound care, such as irrigation (cleaning) and redressing is required then there is a £15 additional charge.

If you suspect you have an ulcer or something embedded in your foot please inform the receptionist and book a longer appointment than you usually require. You can call our reception team on 01903 734373.
