Podiatry & Chiropody in Kingston

What is Podiatry & Chiropody?

Chiropractor Kingston Podiatry and Chiropody

Podiatry and chiropody are concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of abnormal conditions of the feet and lower limbs.

Podiatry focuses on bio-mechanical issues such as problems with general movement, posture and injury. This includes treating pain in the foot, heels, ankles, knee, hip, lower back, and bunions.

Chiropody focuses on the conditions of the skin and nails of the feet. This includes treating calluses, corns, cracked heels, athlete’s foot, verrucas and in-growing, infected, fungal and thickened nails. Diabetic footcare is also available.

Irrefutable Health – Kingston Podiatrists and Chiropodists

The Podiatrists and Chiropodists at Irrefutable Health in Kingston offer a range of services to help you optimise your health. We strongly recommend all children should be screened for structural problems in their feet to ensure they can be addressed before the bones start to ossify (harden) and fuse together. We likewise highly recommend a check-up for the elderly and individuals living with diabetes, who often suffer long-term foot problems as a result of poor blood circulation to the extremities.

An Easy Test to Screen for Foot Problems

A simple at-home children’s screening test for girls under 16 and boys under 18, whether or not they have knee or growing pains. Early detection and intervention will prevent a structural issue continuing into adulthood where it could become a surgical problem.

These patterns will not allow normal movement and cause joint damage:

  • Both knee caps do not point in the same direction
  • The direction of the knee caps does not follow the direction of the feet
