Understanding Calluses

Calluses are thickened areas of skin that commonly develop on the soles of the feet, resulting from repeated pressure or friction. While calluses can be unsightly and uncomfortable, they serve as the body's natural way to protect the skin from further damage.

Comprehensive Calluses Treatment at The Foot Practice

At The Foot Practice, we offer a comprehensive range of treatment options to address calluses and improve the health of your feet.

1. Professional Assessment

Our experienced podiatrists will perform a thorough assessment of your feet, taking into account your medical history and current symptoms. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.

2. Debridement and Corn Removal

One of the most common calluses treatment methods is debridement, in which our podiatrists carefully remove the thickened skin using specialized instruments. This procedure helps to relieve pain and discomfort, while also reducing the risk of infection.

3. Footwear Recommendations

Wearing ill-fitting shoes can contribute to the development of calluses. Our team will provide you with expert advice on choosing footwear that fits properly and offers adequate support. This can help minimize friction and pressure on your feet, preventing calluses from recurring.

4. Custom Orthotics

In some cases, calluses may be caused by an underlying issue, such as an abnormal foot structure or gait. Our podiatrists can design and provide custom orthotics that help redistribute pressure and correct any biomechanical abnormalities. This can effectively alleviate callus formation.

5. Ongoing Foot Care Education

At The Foot Practice, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge to maintain optimal foot health. Our team will educate you on proper foot care techniques, including moisturizing, regular exfoliation, and avoiding excessive pressure or friction.

Preventing Calluses

While calluses can be effectively treated, prevention is always better than cure. Here are some tips to prevent callus formation:

• Choose comfortable shoes: Opt for footwear that provides ample cushioning and supports the natural shape of your feet.
• Maintain proper foot hygiene: Wash your feet daily with mild soap and water, and remember to dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes.
• Moisturize regularly: Apply a suitable foot cream or moisturizer to keep the skin soft and supple.
• Use protective pads: If you engage in activities that cause friction or pressure on your feet, such as running or dancing, consider using protective pads to minimize the risk of callus formation.
• Avoid excessive pressure: Reduce standing or walking on hard surfaces for prolonged periods, as this can increase the likelihood of calluses.
