Podiatry and Chiropody in Ilkley West Yorkshire

Podiatry & Chiropody

Podiatrists specialise in the study of the body’s movements during standing, walking and running, and the effects these movements have on the skeletal system.

Podiatrists (also known as chiropodists) assess, diagnose and treat problems of the foot and ankle.

They work with patients of all ages, relieving pain and discomfort as well as helping them stay as mobile and independent as possible. The average adult walks the equivalent of four times around the earth in a lifetime, so it is vital to look after your feet as you would your eyes and teeth.

The human foot is a very complex piece of our anatomy and is also one of the most important in terms of our mobility and general sense of well-being.

A podiatrist assesses and provides a treatment plan for a wide range of foot problems such as:

  • Gait Analysis
  • Painful Corns
  • Problematic Hard Skin
  • Cracked Heels
  • Bunions
  • Orthotic prescription
  • Fungal Nail Infections
  • Athlete’s Foot
  • Verruca needling
  • Verrutop (course of treatment)
  • Foot and ankle pain
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Musculoskeletal issues of the foot
  • Ingrown Toenail Surgery with local anaesthesia
  • Nail Cutting
  • Mortons Neuroma
  • Achilles pain

More complex foot problems require an in-depth assessment and often a joint approach with the Physio team at The Valley Clinic to determine the cause of the issue. Working with you we will create a treatment plan, with the aim of reducing painful symptoms and often curing them completely.
