Due to the red weather warning in place for Friday 24/1/25, we have taken the decision to close for podiatry patients for the day. ( Other appointments may still be running at Paisley Natural Therapy Centre, please check!) We would rather our staff and patients stayed indoors and stayed safe. We will be back open on Saturday 25/1/25 9am-4pm.
Stay safe everyone. ❤️👣

We know only too well how painful ingrown toenails can be. Take it to a podiatrist as soon as the pain strikes!

A podiatrist is a health care practitioner who can assess, diagnose and treat disorders of the lower limb. The terms chiropodist and podiatrist are used by practitioners and are currently interchangeable terms. To become a podiatrist one must complete an honours degree level course which includes 1000 hours of clinical practice. Podiatry students study areas including anatomy, physiology, medicine, biomechanics, clinical practice and much more. Once qualified, a podiatrist is an autonomous practitioner who can deliver the treatment required for many problems affecting the foot and lower limb. Common problems that podiatrists will see in private practice include, verrucae, ingrown toenails, skin conditions, heel pain and corns, however, there are many more problems that a podiatrist can deal with. Podiatrists are currently regulated by the HCPC, you can check if any practitioner is registered through their website.
