PODIATRY TREATMENTS AT FIT FEET PODIATRISTS,
NORTHERN IRELAND

Our expert podiatry staff will carry out a full assessment and treatment. This starts with a foot health check, a vascular check and a full treatment. This includes hard skin & corn removal, nails are cut, shaped and any thick nails are thinned, and any ingrown nails are removed. Cracked heels are gently debrided. We treat all foot conditions such as chilblains, hyperidrosis (sweaty feet), bromhydrosis (smelly feet), foot ulceration etc. The treatment finishes with a circulation boosting foot massage using our herbal foot creams.

This combines relaxation with an expert medical foot treatment. Treatment begins with a herbal foot soak followed by a full podiatry assessment and treatment. Then a luxurious bamboo foot scrub is applied, which exfoliates the skin and leaves it silky smooth. Finally, a circulation boosting foot and lower leg massage using a honey and milk cream nourishes the skin. This is a truly relaxing experience.

Using the latest equipment- the Doppler Ability, we calculate your Ankle Brachial Pressure Index, this is the measurement used to evaluate blood flow to the feet. We also evaluate skin condition and measure capillary fill reflex. We explain the results and give you a report and forward a copy of this report to your GP. For those patients who have reduced circulation, carrying out this test annually is recommended as it builds up a picture of your circulation over time and can therefore identify issues at an earlier stage than would otherwise be the case, this facilitates onward vascular referrals where appropriate.

Using a neurothesiometer we measure vibration response within the nerves of the feet. Using a mono filament we measure pressure response, using a neurotip we measure sharp/blunt perception and finally using a thermal device we measure temperature perception. All results are explained and a report is provided for you with a copy going to your GP. Identifying problems with nerve conduction in the feet is very important. A loss of sensation leads to serious foot health issues. Your podiatrist can help prevent foot health complications caused by neuropathy.
