Introduction
Our feet carry us through thousands of steps every day, yet foot health is often overlooked until problems become painful or limiting. Routine podiatry is one of the simplest ways to maintain mobility, prevent complications, and keep feet comfortable.
At Provide Wellbeing, our Colchester podiatry service offers accessible, affordable appointments to help patients with everything from nail cutting to corns, calluses, and cracked heels. Here’s why routine podiatry should be part of your self-care plan.
What is routine podiatry?
Routine podiatry (previously called chiropody) is professional foot care that focuses on comfort and prevention. At Provide Wellbeing, a typical appointment may include:
- Nail cutting and filing (especially if nails are thickened or hard to manage at home).
- Corn and callus removal.
- Treatment of ingrown toenails.
- Skin preparation and application of dressings, paddings, or creams.
- Advice on footwear, hygiene, and future treatment needs.
Appointments usually last 30 minutes and are available at our Provide HQ clinic in Colchester.
