With their skills and training podiatrists are perfectly able to perform nail surgery. So if your toenails need to be removed you can relax knowing you are in the hands of a trained professional.

Bunion Corrector — Foot Care in Woy Woy, NSW

BUNIONS

More than just unsightly, bunions can also be very painful. They develop slowly, gradually becoming a bony bump at the big toe joint. They are caused by excessive pressure on the big toe. This pressure pushes the big toe towards the second toe, resulting in the bunion’s characteristic bump.

If ignored the deformity will only get worse and worse. Luckily, most bunions can be managed with wider shoes, footwear that has extra room in the toe area and other options that protect the big toe from too much pressure. You will need to speak with your podiatrist to discuss your options and determine the best course of action.
