Why Proper Foot & Nail Care Matters
Foot problems are easy to ignore — until they start affecting your ability to walk, wear shoes, or enjoy the activities you love. Sometimes foot concerns can be of cosmetic nature – and people might feel embarrassed to show their feet in open-toed footwear.
Conditions like thickened nails, cracked heels or calluses may seem minor, but when left untreated, they can lead to more complex concerns, especially in people with diabetes or circulation issues. At Alice Springs Podiatry, we take a clinical approach to routine nail and skin care, incorporating safe, effective treatments with cosmesis and an emphasis on prevention.
- Early detection of nail infections, deformities or pressure-related skin issues
- Support for diabetic foot health, reducing the risk of ulcers and complications
- Improved skin integrity and appearance through gentle, qualified care
Our podiatrists understand the impact that foot pain or visible nail and skin problems can have on confidence and mobility. If you're looking for personalised advice or treatment, book an appointment by contacting us today.
What is the difference between a podiatry appointment and a regular pedicure?
Podiatrists use sterilized instruments, follow strict infection control and prevention guidelines, and use evidence-based techniques to treat nails and skin without the risks often associated with salon services. Podiatry care is safe for everyone, including diabetic and high-risk patients.
If you are looking for a bit more pampering with your foot service, we also offer medical-grade pedicures designed for both the health and beauty of your feet. Performed in our sterile clinic environment by qualified podiatrists and trained podiatry assistants, this service combines spa-like relaxation with professional foot care expertise (Learn more about Medical Pedicures services here).
Can a podiatrist treat thick or discoloured toenails?
Yes, podiatrists regularly assess and treat thickened, discoloured, ingrown or misshapen nails. These symptoms are often linked to fungal infections, trauma, or age-related changes. Treatment may include gentle debridement (thinning), topical medications, laser therapy, or advice on footwear, nail trimming techniques and hygiene. In some cases, temporary nail restoration systems such as KeryFlex can also improve nail appearance.
How often should I see a podiatrist for nail care?
The ideal frequency depends on your health needs. People with diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, or mobility issues may benefit from podiatry visits every 6–8 weeks. Others may only need annual check-ins or treatments as problems arise. Regular maintenance can prevent issues like ingrown nails, bacterial and fungal infections, and cracked skin from becoming serious.
What foot issues can be managed through routine podiatry care?
Routine podiatry care can manage and prevent a variety of issues including corns, calluses, heel cracks, ingrown toenails, fungal infections, and pressure-related skin conditions. Regular care assists in the early identification of lesions such as plantar warts, wounds and skin cancers that may have otherwise gone undetected. By addressing these early, we can achieve better health outcomes.
