Ingrown Toenails

Known medically as onychocryptosis, an ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, redness, swelling and sometimes infection.

Flat Feet

Also known as fallen arches, flat feet occur when the arches of the feet collapse, causing the entire sole to touch the ground. This lack of arch support can lead to foot, ankle, knee, hip or back pain over time.

Corns & Calluses

Thickened areas of skin that develop due to repeated friction, pressure or irritation — the body’s natural way of protecting itself from excessive rubbing. Uncomfortable, but very treatable.

Fungal Nails

A common infection that occurs when a microscopic fungus enters one or more nails — often beginning as athlete’s foot — causing nails to discolour, thicken and develop crumbling edges.
