Let’s be honest, foot health is never our first thought when we think of obtaining good health in general... But did you know that our feet can tell us an awful lot about our overall health? Feet can telegraph serious underlying health problems such as diabetes and even cardiovascular disease. Our foot clinic can provide benefits for general foot health by improving both the appearance of your feet and reducing pain points, such as calluses and corns. Additionally, it will likely improve your overall health and aid in the treatment of more serious health conditions. Regardless of your reasons, our foot clinic can provide excellent results that help improve your health! In this blog we’ll look at the Foot Clinic and discuss the benefits available to patients. We’ll talk about our outstanding practitioner (Emily). And we’ll discuss the risks, potential side effects and why you should book a consultation!
