Adult Podiatry
Your feet contain 28 bones, 30 joints and 100 muscles, so it’s no wonder they need special care. Podiatrists are medically trained professionals who treat the feet and lower limbs for injuries, pain and chronic health conditions that affect the blood flow to your legs and feet.
SGB Podiatrists are here for you if you have sudden pain, long term issues or simply want healthy happy feet.
