Step back into comfort: Footprints Podiatry
Whether you spend your day at standing at work or chasing after grandchildren, life becomes much harder with sore feet.
According to senior podiatrist Howard Nicholas from Footprints Podiatry, the key to healthy feet is regular maintenance. “Addressing foot problems as early as possible is the key,” Howard says. “The longer people leave things, the harder they can be to treat. The good news is that we have many effective options. Whether it’s heel pain, bunions, in-grown toenails, or sports injuries, treating problems early helps people stay active and comfortable.”
Two of the most common conditions are verrucae and fungal nail infections, and Footprints Podiatry is currently the only clinic in the South Island offering Swift, a fast and effective treatment that uses microwave technology to remove verrucae. “Microwave technology is very safe,” Howard explains. “The procedure itself is quick, requires no dressings, and patients can carry on with their day immediately.”
For fungal nail infections, the clinic offers Lunula Laser Therapy, which has produced impressive results for many patients. It uses two cold laser beams, so there’s no heat, pain, or discomfort during treatment.
If sore feet are slowing you down, a visit to Footprints Podiatry may be the first step back to comfort.
