Common Foot Conditions We Treat
At Hanford Chiropody, we treat a wide variety of foot problems — from everyday issues like hard skin and corns to more complex concerns such as biomechanical pain and diabetic foot complications. Our goal is to help you stay comfortable on your feet with personalised, professional care. Below are some of the most common conditions we help patients with in our Worksop clinic.
Corns and Calluses
Corns and calluses are areas of thickened, hardened skin that often develop due to friction or pressure. They usually form on weight-bearing areas of the feet, such as the ball of the foot, heel, or over bony prominences. While these can sometimes be managed at home, professional removal is the safest way to reduce discomfort and prevent infection. We can also offer advice on footwear, insoles, and foot care routines to stop them returning.
Cracked Heels
Cracked heels, or heel fissures, can cause pain, bleeding, and even infection if left untreated. They’re especially common in dry skin conditions or with prolonged standing. At our clinic, we treat cracked heels by gently removing hard skin and applying medical-grade moisturisers or heel balms. We also assess whether any underlying factors — such as foot shape or footwear — are contributing to the problem.
Fungal Nail Infections
Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) are a common problem that can cause discolouration, thickening, and crumbling of the toenail. While many over-the-counter treatments exist, fungal infections can be stubborn and often require more targeted care. We assess the extent of the infection and offer suitable treatment options, which may include reduction of the affected nail, topical treatments, or referral for oral antifungal medication.
Verrucas (Plantar Warts)
Verrucas are viral skin lesions that usually appear on the soles of the feet. They may look like small, rough bumps and often develop a black dot in the centre. They can be painful when standing or walking. At Hanford Chiropody, we provide evidence-based treatment options for verrucas, and we’ll discuss the most appropriate approach based on your symptoms, medical history, and preferences.
Athlete’s Foot
Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection of the skin, often occurring between the toes. It can cause itching, redness, flaking, and an unpleasant odour. If left untreated, it can spread to other parts of the foot or lead to fungal nail infections. We’ll assess the severity of your condition and advise on suitable antifungal treatments, along with guidance on foot hygiene and prevention.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and in some cases, infection. This condition can result from poor nail cutting technique, tight footwear, or natural nail shape. We offer both conservative care and minor nail surgery where appropriate, to relieve symptoms and reduce the chance of recurrence.
Diabetic Foot Care
People with diabetes are more likely to experience foot problems due to reduced circulation and nerve sensitivity. At Hanford Chiropody, we provide regular diabetic foot checks to monitor your vascular and neurological foot health. These checks are vital for early detection of issues and prevention of more serious complications. We also offer guidance on daily foot care, footwear choices, and when to seek urgent help.
Plantar Fasciitis
People with diabetes are more likely to experience foot problems due to reduced circulation and nerve sensitivity. At Hanford Chiropody, we provide regular diabetic foot checks to monitor your vascular and neurological foot health. These checks are vital for early detection of issues and prevention of more serious complications. We also offer guidance on daily foot care, footwear choices, and when to seek urgent help.
Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis is an overuse injury that causes pain and stiffness at the back of the ankle or lower calf. It may be triggered by sudden increases in activity, tight calf muscles, or poor foot alignment. Our biomechanical assessments help determine the underlying cause, and we offer treatment advice including footwear recommendations, stretching, and referral where needed.
Foot Pain Caused by Movement or Posture
Sometimes foot pain isn’t caused by an obvious skin or nail issue, but by how your feet move and function. We offer musculoskeletal (MSK) and biomechanical assessments to evaluate your gait, posture, and loading patterns. These assessments can help identify the cause of chronic pain in the feet, knees, hips, or lower back — and lead to targeted solutions such as insoles, footwear changes, or exercise programmes.
Not Sure What’s Causing Your Pain?
You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong to make an appointment. Many of our patients simply come in with discomfort, and we help identify and treat the cause. Whether it’s a simple corn or a more complex biomechanical issue, you’ll receive a warm welcome, expert care, and clear explanations every step of the way.
