What Else Can The Auckland Ingrown Toenail Clinic Help You With?

Ingrown toenails are our speciality. From one-off treatments to nail surgeries – and even removing the toenail entirely. We love helping patients finally get long-term relief from this painful and frustrating problem. But – are ingrown toenails all we do?  It’s a great question, so today we thought we’d fill you in on all the other things we help our patients with and how.

First: What do podiatrists do?

All our ingrown toenail services are performed by board-registered and experienced podiatrists. Outside of ingrown toenail treatment and surgery, podiatrists spend at least three years studying the anatomy, physiology and biomechanical function of the feet and lower limbs.  Trust us – this isn’t an easy endeavour, given that a single foot has 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments! This makes Podiatrists the foot health experts when it comes to pains and problems that develop – and very knowledgeable in their field. Podiatrists are qualified to assess, diagnose and treat problems with the lower limbs, from the waist down. This includes the legs, knees, ankles, feet – and sometimes the hips too. To help you know more about exactly what we do and can help with, here’s a handy checklist of indications that you should see a podiatrist. Do you:
  • Have painful feet?  
  • Experience leg pain?  
  • Have painful knees?  
  • Experience sore hips?  
  • Find walking or standing uncomfortable?  
  • Experience leg or foot pain during sport?  
  • Need advice on correct footwear?
  • Have ingrown toenails?
  • Have a fungal nail infection?
  • Have pain in the opposite leg following an injury or surgery?
  • Want to run better?
  • Want to cycle better?
  • Find it difficult to fit into normal shoes?
  • Have an ulcer that isn’t healing?
  • Notice something about the way your family member walks that seems unusual or wrong?
  • Get very tired after being on your feet during the day for work?
Are you:
  • Worried about the development of your children’s feet?
  • Sick of being told there’s nothing that can be done to reduce your pain and help you feel more comfortable?
  • Regularly tripping or falling?
  • Constantly spraining your ankle?
  • Worried about bumps and lumps on your feet like bunions?
  • Finding it difficult to reach your feet to care for the nails and skin?
  • Diabetic (and therefore high-risk for foot/leg complications)?
  • Training for a marathon or working out and want to reduce the risk of injury?
  • Needing specific assistance for sports like skiing where you have a very narrow boot and not much space to work with?
