When was the last time you really looked at your feet?

They might not just tell you how far you’ve walked — they could also reveal what’s happening inside your body. From changes in skin colour to tingling or swelling, your feet often show the first signs of underlying health issues long before other symptoms appear.

At Foot Corner in Ashford, we often see patients who book in for something small — like dry skin, discoloured nails, or cold toes — only to discover these are early signs of circulation problems, diabetes, or nerve irritation.

Because your feet are furthest from your heart, they can reveal issues with blood flow, nerve function, or even your immune system.
Cold feet, tingling, swelling, or slow-healing cuts are all signals your body might need a little extra care.

By paying attention to your feet, you can take early action and protect your overall health.
Our podiatrists are here to help you understand what’s normal and what might need attention — so small changes don’t become big problems.

At Foot Corner in Ashford, we use microwave therapy — a modern treatment that works with your body to clear verrucas from the inside out.

It uses controlled microwave energy to heat the affected tissue for just a few seconds. This triggers your immune system to recognise and fight off the virus causing the verruca — without damaging the surrounding skin.

Most patients notice improvement after just a few sessions, and there’s no need for daily creams or dressings.

Imagine finally walking barefoot again — free from pain and embarrassment.

If you’ve tried other treatments with no success, microwave therapy could be your game-changer.

Think tighter football boots mean better ball control? Many young players do — but their toes would disagree!

At Foot Corner, we often see ingrown toenails and bruised nails caused by boots that are just too snug. When the toes are constantly squashed against the end of the boot, nails start digging into the skin, leading to pain, infection, and missed match time.

A proper fit should feel secure but never tight — leave a thumb’s width between the longest toe and the end of the boot. If your child’s toes are sore or nails look red or swollen, let our podiatrists take a look before it sidelines their game.

Not all verruca treatments rely on harsh chemicals or freezing.

Microwave therapy uses your body’s own defences to remove the infection over time. It’s a gradual, natural process — no dressings, no downtime, just steady improvement.

Understanding your treatment options empowers you to choose what feels right for your skin and lifestyle.

Ever wondered why some verrucas just don’t respond to treatment?

Many surface treatments only remove the visible skin, leaving the virus beneath untouched. Microwave therapy works differently — it encourages your body’s immune system to recognise and clear the virus naturally.

Knowing how treatments work helps you make informed decisions about your care. Sometimes, the best results come from helping your body help itself.

👣 Heard the myth? “If you remove hard skin, it comes back worse!”

This isn’t true. Hard skin forms as your body’s way of protecting against pressure or friction. Once it’s removed, it will only return if the cause—like tight shoes or foot shape—remains.

✅ The good news: regular podiatry care + the right footwear can stop hard skin from becoming painful and keep your feet feeling smooth and comfortable.

Prevention is Better Than Cure

🚿 Could your daily habits be making fungal nail infections more likely?

Fungus loves warm, damp environments—think gym showers, sweaty socks, or shoes that don’t breathe. These little habits create the perfect conditions for infections to take hold.

💡 Quick win: change your socks midday if your feet get sweaty. It’s a simple step that keeps feet dry and makes life harder for fungus.
