Podiatry and Chiropody

Welcome to our Podiatrist/ Chiropodist Profiles.
 
A Podiatrist (chiropodist) has a background in the assessment, diagnosis and management of disorders of the foot, ankle and lower leg. These problems in the lower limb can often lead to biomechanical problems higher up in the body. 
 
A Podiatrist is qualified to deal with a wide range of problems from simple ‘flat feet’ in children and adults, to complex biomechanical issues in runners and athletes.  Our Podiatry team work closely with the rest of our team to better understand and manage you foot related problem. 
 
Chiropody treatments are also available at our clinics in London and Hertfordshire. Chiropody is a branch of Podiatry that deals with dermatological (skin and nail) conditions of the feet. The most common complaints our Podiatrists see are; Corns, Callus and Ingrowing toenails.

Our Podiatry team often take on clients who have looked at our website after being told they need to see a Podiatrist or Chiropodist from their GP.  We also take on quite a few clients who have previously seen a routine podiatrist or chiropodist and need something more specialised at no extra cost.  We ensure our Podiatry team take time with you and give you a thorough and advanced assessment, diagnosis and treatment.

Below you will find our Podiatry profiles which will provide you with information on each Podiatrist currently working at Perfect Balance Clinic.  We always take our time in the selection process of our team members to make sure we select people that are motivated, professional and honest, making sure we provide you with a Podiatry service that provides great results.
