Experienced, professional and highly accomplished, the team at SGB Podiatry are your local experts in family and sports podiatry. The health and well being of your feet impact how you move – the way you walk, the shoes you wear and the sports you enjoy.
Did you know your feet affect the muscles and joints right through your lower limbs?
Which means your ankles, calves and knees can suffer from the effects of poorly fitting shoes and neglected foot care. And it’s no surprise when you consider that your feet are made up of 28 bones, 30 joints and in excess of 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments!
There are over 300 different conditions that can affect your feet and SGB Podiatry provide a range of clinical services that alleviate pain, treat injuries and promote foot health.
Professional Foot Care for the Whole Family
Foot care isn’t a luxury, it’s an essential part of maintaining a healthy active lifestyle. Whether you’ve got ageing feet, working feet, growing feet or sporty feet, SGB Podiatry takes care of the whole family.
Take a moment to review your foot health with this quick self-assessment:
- Are you suffering from reoccurring injuries during sport?
- Do you have a chronic health condition that means your feet need extra care?
- Are your toenails bumpy, yellowing, sore or ingrowing?
- Do you have cracked heels, changes in skin colour, numbness or tingling in your feet?
- Are corns and callouses making your shoes rub and your feet sore?
- Are you experiencing pain in your arches, heels or ball of your foot?
- Have you had an injury or trauma to your feet, toes or lower limbs?
- Are you a parent who’s worried about the way your child walks?
- Are you struggling to treat warts or verrucas (plantar warts)?
So how did you go? If you have answered yes to any of the statements above, then a professional consultation with an SGB Podiatrist is recommended.
