Podiatry – Akoonah Podiatry

Podiatry can address a range of foot conditions that relate to lower leg, knee, hip and back. Heel pain is a common reason to seek advice from a podiatrist. Pain under the bottom of the heel, around the outside of the heel or even up the back of the heel may be caused by a number of conditions including Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, fat pad impingement, heel spurs or nerve impingement. Long and thick nails, callus, corns and pressure areas are also very common reasons for consulting a podiatrist.
