Alwyndor Covid and Gastro Update

Podiatry

Alwyndor's podiatrists diagnose and treat foot and lower limb problems and advise you on footwear.

As you grow older, your feet change and looking after them can become more difficult. Conditions such as diabetes, arthritis and circulatory problems can also affect your feet, causing discomfort and affecting your mobility.

Alwyndor's podiatrists treat a range of conditions to ensure your feet remain healthy, including:

  • Skin problems
  • Brittle and thickened nails
  • Soft tissue disorders
  • Complications from arthritis

Our podiatrists can also take regular foot measurements as you age and advise on correct footwear to help with your balance and mobility.

By working with our podiatrists to care for your feet, you'll improve your comfort, reduce the chance of infections, avoid potential medical complications, and stay active for longer.
