Foot care
What is about?
Chiropody is the basic and essential podiatric treatment for maintaining the health of your feet.
During the session, we perform a complete check-up, remove hard skin and calluses, and treat thickened, deformed, or ingrown toenails, always using safe, precise, and pain-free techniques.
Furthermore, we advise patients on how often they should come in for a check-up, based on their individual needs or pathologies.
If necessary, we prescribe topical or oral treatments and recommend other more advanced procedures to eliminate the problem permanently and prevent it from recurring.
This type of treatment is ideal both for people experiencing discomfort and for those who wish to keep their feet healthy and well-cared for all year round.
