Foot Health – Sam Binnington
S.A.C. Dip
As our feet take almost all of our body weight for large sections of the day, it’s easy to understand just how a problem with the foot can lead to pain and discomfort, not only in your feet, but also in other parts of the body.Whilst some of these issues are complex, and may require specialist treatment from either an orthotist or a podiatrist, many of the issues can be easily sorted by a qualified and experienced Foot Health Practitioner, particularly if you are unable to do some of the more simple things yourself.
These issues range from skin conditions such as Athlete’s Foot and cracked heels to nail issues, such as poorly trimmed or ingrowing toenails. Other common issues such as corns, calluses, verrucae and blisters can be treated by Foot Health Practitioners. If such conditions are left untreated, the pain may manifest itself in other parts of the body, particularly the knees, hips and back, as our walking and standing pattern changes to accommodate the pain.
Sam James, the Foot Health Practitioner based at the Burton Waters Clinic, can treat all of the conditions mentioned here, and others too. She can also give advice on footwear, which can also be the cause, or the solution, to many foot health issues. Book your appointment to see Sam today, putting foot pain behind you, and making every step a heavenly one!
