Leyton Foot Clinic - Your feet come first! --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/about-us/what-is-podiatry/ --- What is Podiatry - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic What’s the difference between a Chiropodist and a Podiatrist? In the UK podiatry is simply the new name for chiropody. The name was changed to podiatry in 1993 as it’s the international recognised name for a foot specialist. There is no difference they are essentially the same word. If you look at the word itself, pod means foot and chiro means “to use hands to heal” hence the terms chiropractor and chiropodist. Essentially podiatry is the modern term for the experts in feet. The best way we describe it is to say that all podiatrists can do chiropody but not all chiropodists can do podiatry! What else changed? It’s not just the name that has changed though. Podiatry is a constantly evolving profession, the extensive training given to students over the 3 or 4 years of their full time course and the continuing education after graduation enable Podiatrists to treat a vast array of foot and lower limb problems. Along with the most obvious treatments for corns and hard skin, specialities exist within the profession for almost any lower limb problem. What is a Foot Health Practitioner? Why should I care? Many of those previously using the titles Chiropodist or Podiatrist who have not gained HCPC (Health & Care Professions Council) registration, either through choice or because they were not eligible, have now adopted the title ‘Foot Health Practitioner’ to replace Chiropodist/Podiatrist which they can no longer use. the title “Foot Health Practitioner” is not protected in law which effectively means anyone can use it regardless of training levels. You may have seen advertisements offering training that that offer a total of only a few days practical tuition and the rest by correspondence. After completing the course which can last around 6 months students will call themselves “Fully trained and qualified Foot Health Practitioners” They advertise the same medical treatments as those offered by Podiatrist in places like Yellow Pages, and offer chiropody services; this is actually an offence and may incur a heavy fine. Clearly a Foot Health Practitioner course is not to be confused with the 3 years of full time training needed to become a Podiatrist. The HCPC (Health & Care Professions Council) has now protected the titles Chiropodist and Podiatrist, see www.hcpc-uk.org or the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists website at www.feetforlife.org for more information How can I be sure I’m going to receive the correct (and safe) treatment? Firstly ask if they are a HCPC Registered Podiatrist, it is a criminal offence to falsely claim they are. If they are registered you can further ask if they have a degree or 3 year diploma in podiatry (BSc or DPodM), it is a breech of the HCPC regulations to falsely claim they have. If there is any show of protest at this or if they will only insist they are ‘Fully Qualified’ but won’t be specific, it could well mean they are not. Podiatrist train very hard to gain the qualifications need to practice safely. The knowledge and experience gained during our extensive training is what sets us apart and allows our patients peace of mind. All staff here at Leyton Foot Clinic are fully trained and registered. What do the letters that Podiatrists use mean? DPodM or BSc(Podiatry) – This signifies that the Podiatrist has completed a full training course in podiatry at an approved institution. Originally this course was a diploma in podiatric medicine – DPodM but was later changed to a degree course – BSc. NB:DipPodMed is not the same as DPodM. MChS or FChS – This means that the Podiatrist is a member or fellow of The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists. A practising member of this society is assured of having professional indemnity insurance cover. SRCh – State Registered Chiropodist. Since July the 9th 2003 this title is defunct though is likely to be used by many Podiatrists for the time being as it may still be expected by the general public as a sign that the Podiatrist is fully qualified. The current form of registration with the state is given by the new Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). So What do Podiatrists do? A lot more than just cutting nails: Biomechanics – A common area of practice within podiatry, this deals with problems arising from the way your joints are aligned and your muscles function. Pain from poor alignment can affect not just your feet but your knees, hips and lower back. Podopaediatrics – This deals with the diagnosis and treatment of lower limb disorders in children many of which are biomechanically related. Surgery – We provide toenail surgery, but if you need more invasive procedures we can refer you to one of our colleagues. An increasing amount of foot surgery is being performed by specially trained Podiatrists, (podiatric surgeons) usually on a day care basis under local anaesthetic, this means no over night stays in hospital and minimal disruption to your everyday life. Podiatric surgeons train for many years to become experts in performing foot surgery. Orthotics – These are custom made insoles that aim to reduce the symptoms resulting from biomechanical problems. Often these are used for controlling excessive pronation, commonly known as flat feet or fallen arches, but they can be useful for many other conditions. High-risk patient management – The largest group is patients with diabetes who benefit greatly from regular foot care and advice, but also those with arthritis, neurological or vascular conditions tend to have ‘high risk’ feet and should see a Podiatrist regularly. Sports injuries – Often working alongside physiotherapists the Podiatrist’s knowledge of lower limb function and orthotic treatments are put to good use in diagnosing and treating many lower limb sports injuries. Podiatry should be your first port of call if you have a foot problem & you do not need a referral from your GP to seek a private consultation. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/about-us/business-hours/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Opening Hours OPENING IN 5 Hours 15 Minutes 47 Seconds Monday 10:00 AM to 05:00 PM Tuesday 10:00 AM to 05:00 PM Wednesday 09:00 AM to 08:00 PM Thursday 09:00 AM to 08:00 PM Friday 09:00 AM to 06:00 PM Saturday 09:00 AM to 03:00 PM Sunday CLOSED --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/about-us/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic We are Chiropodists & Podiatrists, Members of the Society of Chiropodists & Podiatrists (MChS) and Registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Routine Podiatry Corn Removal Callus Removal Verruca Skin Fungal Fungal Nail Ingrowing Toenail Wilde Pedique --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/treatments/podiatry-treatments/removal-of-hard-skin/ --- Removal of hard skin - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic What are Calluses? Calluses are an accumulation of dead skin cells that harden and thicken over time in an area of the foot. It is formed as part of the body’s defense mechanism to protect the foot against excessive pressure and friction that if too thick can become problematic. Calluses are normally found on the ball-of-the-foot, and/or the side of the big toe and can also be found in conjunction with corns. Callus can also form on different areas of the foot and may require the help of a podiatrist to figure out why they are occurring. Some calluses are extremely deep and can even cause the skin beneath it to become quite fibrous. This particular type of callus can be especially painful when put under pressure and usually occurs on the ball of the foot. With these sorts off callus it is important to get some help and work with your podiatrist before it gets worse. Causes of Callus? Calluses usually develops due to excessive pressure or friction on a specific area of the foot just as a corn does. Some common causes of this increased friction or pressure include high-heels, shoes that are too small, obesity, abnormalities in the gait cycle (the way you walk), flat feet, high arched feet, unusual shaped feet, and the loss of the ever so wonderful fat pad cushioning on the bottom of the foot. Treatment and Prevention of Callus? Its not uncommon for people to dig around at callus with a razor blade, however its pretty dangerous and most of the time doesn’t address the cause of the callus. Its probably worth noting that diabetics and other people with compromised feet should never try this type of treatment as its too risky and they could put themselves at risk of loosing a limb. The first step to getting rid of calluses is using a good quality moisturising cream twice daily or as needed on the area. Depending on the amount of callus it may help to exfoliate the area regularly as well. This can be done by first soaking your feet in some warm and gentle water with a few scoops of foot soak until your feet become nice and soft. Then with a pumice stone or similar, gently exfoliate the area and then follow up with a good quality moisturising cream. If needed this may be done regularly, as often as once or twice a week to keep them under control. The best way to get rid of callus is to have it removed professionally. Whilst there, your podiatrist can help to figure out the cause of the callus. Once removed professionally, many people can then work at home to maintain their feet by eliminating the cause of the callus (where possible) and by regularly using exfolliants and intense moisturisers on the feet. In some feet, where callus is more of a concern, a regular maintenance may be required. If walking is the problem behind your callus, you may need the help of an orthotic to redistribute the weight in the feet properly and take the pressure away from the problem areas. Thanks to Emma Supple from the College of Podiatry for this great simple explanation of corns and callus in the following video: --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/treatments/injection-therapy/botox-for-feet/ --- Botox For Feet - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Do you, or know of someone, have trouble with offensive foot odour? Are you embarrassed by foot odour when you remove your shoes? Are your socks drenched with sweat by the end of the day, or even worse, by mid-morning? Have you tried the powders and antiperspirants – but had no luck? If so, you may benefit from Botox. It’s not just for wrinkles anymore!! Hyperhidrosis (sweaty feet) and Bromhidrosis (foot odour) are common conditions affecting millions of people. They are often responsible for embarrassing or stressful situations and can have significant psycho-social effects in those afflicted with these conditions. FACTS: There are about 250,000 sweat glands in the human foot together can produce up to 4 ounces of sweat per foot per day. Hyperhidrosis & Bromhidrosis Hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis can be difficult to treat. In society today, wearing shoes is the norm. Thus, the sweat from the feet cannot evaporate. The pooling sweat rapidly progresses to a foul odour. The odour is caused by the by-products of bacteria. Excessive moisture also encourages the growth of many different types of fungi that can cause odour as well. One of the main causes of sweaty, malodourous feet is improper socks or footwear. Shoes with plastic or other synthetic fabric linings are not absorbent and can prevent sweat from evaporating. Synthetic socks have the same effect, particularly if they are tight. Basic first steps of treatment: After showering or bathing, dry feet well. Pay particular attention to the area between the toes. A surprisingly high percentage of people do not actually do this. The use of foot powder can limit moisture as well. Alternate shoes. Do not wear the same pair of shoes 2 days in a row. Shoes frequently will not dry out overnight. Avoid socks that do not absorb moisture. Moisture-wicking athletic socks are a good choice. These may be made of merino wool (which does not itch) or a synthetic blend. Change socks or pantyhose often (at least once a day). Air/ventilate the feet. Go barefoot when feasible. Slip feet out of shoes whenever possible (e.g., while sitting with feet inconspicuously hidden under a desk). Avoid hot beverages (such as coffee), alcohol, and spices. These can heat the body and increase sweating. Change your diet. Take note of any foods or beverages that cause excess sweating. Consider eliminating caffeinated drinks (like coffee and cola), alcohol, certain “hot” spices, and foods with strong odours, such as garlic and onions. Shoes should also be disinfected to help reduce odour. An Old wives remedy … worth trying: An old remedy that has been fairly effective in some people is caffeinated tea soaks. The caffeine and tannic acid in the tea constrict sweat glands, thus reducing the amount of sweat produced. Soak feet in caffeinated tea for approximately 15 minutes, 2 times a day. Typically, a decrease in sweating and foot odour is seen by 2 weeks. If these measures do not help, topical medications containing formaldehyde can be prescribed. These products work by drying and absorbing moisture on the skin, but may have side effects such as local irritation or allergic reactions. Antiperspirants and deodorants may also be used to reduce sweat. These antiperspirants contain aluminum chloride and work by blocking the opening of sweat glands. Regular over-the-counter antiperspirants typically contain 1 to 2% aluminum chloride while prescription strength products may contain as much as 15 to 20%. Side effects of these antiperspirants include skin irritation, and results are often insufficient to stop sweaty feet. For more severe cases, many patients are now turning to Botox. Botox is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure in the aesthetics world. It has helped many patients look more youthful, deal with incontinence, muscle spasms, and migraines. Botox is now approved for the treatment of excessive underarm sweating and for the treatment of sweaty feet. Botox is made from a toxin produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. When the toxin is injected locally at a specific site, the nerves and in that area are blocked and the sweat glands are essentially paralyzed, thus preventing excessive sweating. Results typically last 6 to 15 months. Botox Foot Treatment Botox treatment for sweaty feet usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. The Podiatrist will most likely perform an iodine starch test to determine the areas where most of the perspiration is occurring. This test involves painting betadine (iodine) over the entire foot and then applying a starch powder, such as corn starch. Within a couple of minutes, the area that sweat will turn a dark violet or black color. Botox injections are concentrated in these areas. Approximately 25 to 35 injections are given into each foot about 1 to 1.5 centimeters apart. Side effects are rare but include temporary bruising, pain at the injection site, muscle weakness to the intrinsic muscles of the foot and infection. These side effects are temporary and typically will quickly diminish over time. It should be noted that the effects of Botox are not permanent. The toxin in Botox is eventually degraded by the body. However, response has been very positive. Patients report the effects lasting from 6 to 15 months. Ninety-one percent of patients experience a decrease in sweating and odor. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/treatments/injection-therapy/steroid-injections/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Corticosteroid (cortisone), are hormones located within the body and are responsible for the regulation of inflammation, metabolism, immune function, as well as salt and water balance. When a joint/soft tissue becomes inflamed and the body cannot respond to reduce the inflammation, steroid injections can be used to assist in reducing inflammation and swelling at the structure. Steroid injection consists of small amount of corticosteroid that has an anti-inflammatory action and local anaesthetic which numbs the area temporarily. Injections into soft tissues and joints can be very effective in giving pain relief when the tissue is inflamed. It is known as a local injection because it acts only in that area and does not travel around the body. A cortisone injection can be used at any point during a treatment plan but generally are used when conservative first line treatments such as footwear advice, stretching, low level laser therapy, mobilisation or bespoke orthoses have had only limited success. Cortisone injections can be used on the following conditions Neuromas Joint pain Arthritis Plantar Fasciitis and other heel pains excluding Achilles Tendonitis. Sinus Tarsi Syndrome The effect of the steroid is usually felt within 1 to 2 days but can be up to 10 days after the injection. The steroid provides up to six months of relief, however this duration is dependent on each patient. Patient Information All Steriod FAQ What is a corticosteroid? A medicine which can relieve swelling, stiffness and pain by reducing inflammation. Why don’t I just take anti-inflammatory pills? You can, but the side effects of these are much more common and can cause stomach upsets and bleeding. These injections bypass the stomach and are much more effective. Are there any times I should not have an injection? Yes, if you: Are hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the drugs used: risk of anaphylaxis Have sepsis – local or systemic infection Are reluctant to have the injection If you are under 18 Had a recent fracture Have a prosthetic joint Are pregnant What are the possible side-effects? These are very rare and your clinician will discuss them with you: Post injection flare Skin atrophy/depigmentation/bleeding Tendon atrophy/rupture Infection – if the area becomes hot, swollen and painful for more than 24 hours you should contact your clinician or doctor immediately Facial flushing Menstrual irregularity Impaired diabetic control Temporary bruising if you are taking blood thinning medication You will be asked to wait for 30 minutes after the injection to ensure there is no allergic reaction to the drug Is the injection painful? Not particularly, as your podiatrist has had intensive training in the technique. Sometimes it can be sore for a few hours, but you will be told what to do about this. How fast does the injection work? If local anaesthetic is also used the pain should be less within a few minutes, though it may return after about an hour. The steroid usually starts to work within 24-48 hours but may take longer. How long does the effect last? This varies from person to person and the condition being treated, but the steroid usually continues working for 3 to 6 weeks. How many injections can I have? This depends on the part of the body involved and will be decided by your podiatrist and yourself. Usually one injection is sufficient, but if the pain is severe or has been there for a long time, you may need more. What should I do after the injection? If the problem was caused by overuse, you will probably be told to rest the area for about a week; if it is a joint pain, you may start early gentle movement. When will I have to be seen again? Usually your podiatrist will want to see you again about a week or ten days after the injection. You will then be given appropriate exercises for you to do at home. You will also usually be reviewed a month after the injection to monitor the long term effect of the treatment. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/treatments/podiatry-treatments/routine-treatment/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Our Feet help us balance, walk, run, and propel us the equivalent of 5 times around the earth’s surface in an average life time.

Corns like calluses develop from an accumulation of dead skin cells on the foot, forming thick, hardened areas. They contain a cone-shaped core with a point that can press on a nerve below, causing pain. Corns can become inflamed due to constant friction and pressure from footwear. Corns that form between the toes are sometimes referred to as soft corns. In addition to excessive pressure and friction, soft corns that form between the toes are caused by excessive moisture or sweating. Corns are often more painful than calluses but this can vary from one individual to the next. The excessive pressure that causes corns and calluses can be due to tight, pointy or high heeled shoes or changes in structure of the feet or toes. Common causes of Corns Inappropriate footwear such as high or tight pointy shoes Feet that have lost some of their fatty padding, possibly as the result of the aging process Weight gain Some medical conditions such as diabetes or hypothyroidism, which cause drying out of the skin to a higher degree than normal Some skin disorders such as psoriasis and eczema Excessive sweating of the feet. Stepping on sharp objects such as nails or glass, the resulting damage to the skin leaves the areas affected more prone to the formation of corns and calluses. Previous treatments such as cryosurgery, this is often used to treat troublesome verrucae. What treatments can our podiatrists provide for Corns? Perform a physical examination to ascertain the cause Custom Made Shoe Insole Gentle removal of the thickened hard skin and corn Advice on suitable footcare products to delay the hard skin and corns returning. Footwear advice, as many individuals wear incorrect fitting and styled footwear Provision of protective padding Custom made shoe insoles to remove the cause of the hard skin We do not recommend patients using corn plasters that contain acids Recommend surgery if non surgical or conservative treatment is not deemed appropriate (rarely required) What other skin lesions look similar to corns to the untrained eye? Verrucae are often confused with corns, verrucae are caused by a virus, whereas corns and calluses are caused by pressure and excessive moisture. Treatment and Prevention of Corns A qualified podiatrist can use a scalpel and effectively remove the corn – this is a temporary fix, as the corn will reappear due to the excessive pressure applied to the area due to poor fitting shoes, tight socks and movement of the foot within the shoe. There are very simple ways to prevent and treat the corns. You should wear properly fitted footwear with extra room in the toe box (toe area). Avoid shoes that are too tight or too loose. Use an orthotic or shoe insert made with materials that will absorb shock and shear forces. Also avoid tight socks and stockings to provide a healthier environment for the foot. Try to steer away from corn removing solutions and medicated pads. These solutions can sometimes increase irritation and discomfort. Diabetics and all other individuals with poor circulation should never use any chemical agents to remove corns. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/faq/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic All FAQ What are the benefits of wearing orthotics? Almost anyone can achieve some benefit from an orthotic. You may be a candidate for orthotics if you experience any of the following common situations: One side of the sole of your shoe wears out faster than the other You frequently sprain your ankle You have chronic heel, knee or lower back pain Your shins hurt Your toes are not straight Your feet point inward or excessively outward when you walk Your feet hurt in general. Who should Use an Orthotic? Almost everyone can benefit from using orthotics, because perfect feet are very rare. They can prevent and alleviate many of the common foot complications that cause discomfort in otherwise healthy people. A comparison can be drawn between orthotics and eyeglasses. Both adjust bodily imperfections that inhibit people from functioning at their maximum physical potential. In both cases, a physician will do a complete examination and prescribe the proper amount of correction. What is an orthotic? Orthotics are orthopedic (medically prescribed) devices designed to treat or adjust various bio-mechanical foot disorders. Orthotics take various forms and are constructed of various materials. All are concerned with improving foot function and minimizing stress forces that could ultimately cause foot deformity, pain and other problems of the lower back, hips and knees. The orthotic is placed in the patient’s shoe keeping the foot in proper alignment. The best orthotics are medically prescribed devices specifically crafted to meet the needs of a particular individual. Why do my heels hurt? One of the main causes is the presence of a heel spur – a bony overgrowth on the bottom of the calcaneum (heel bone). The heel spur is usually a result of an abnormal pull of the arch ligament (plantar fascia), as it attaches to the calcaneum bone. Constant abnormal pulling of this ligament irritates the heel bone and the body lays down a bone spur as a protective mechanism. Prior to the heel spur, you may experience pain in the arch, due to the pull and subsequent inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament – a condition known as plantar fasciitis. This condition is a constellation of many causes; overweight, ill fitting shoes, bio-mechanical problems (mal-alignment of the body joints). Do I have flat feet? If you are standing barefooted on the ground and the arch is in contact with the ground, then you have Flat Feet. People with a flat foot or the opposite condition, a highly arched foot that are painful, are certainly in need of treatment. Flat feet and high arches that are associated with ankle, knee or low back pain are also in need of treatment. The causes of flat feet are many, but in the older age group decreased exercise and increased weight add to the mechanical disturbances of the foot. Flat feet can also produce conditions known as heel spurs and/or plantar fascitis. The treatment for flat feet includes exercises and orthotics. What is a verruca? Verruca is a viral infection, appearing as a raised roughened blemish on the skin. It is “picked up” from floors where lots of people are walking around barefooted. Once infected, the verruca becomes visible after a year. It may have visible black spots, though this is not always the case. It is usually not painful, but if there is lots of dry hard skin covering it, then it will become painful. Usually it is visible only when the foot becomes wet – after a bath, shower etc – and is painful when squeezed side-to-side. In lay-man terms, a verruca is called a in-growing wart. It is treated by either applying acids, freezing, electro-surgery, laser therapy or homeopathy. What is an ingrowing toe nail? An ingrown toenail (onychocryptosis) is a condition in which the nail is cutting into the flesh. This condition is usually very painful and is usually associated with infection of the toe. A nail is ingrown when one or both corners or sides of the nail grow into the skin of the toe. Irritation, redness, uncomfortable sensation of warmth, as well as swelling, pain and infection can result from an ingrown toenail. If caught early, it is easily treatable with routine conservative treatment, however if left to manifest then an in-growing toenail operation may be required. Most people often think that they have an in-growing toe-nail, whereas they may just have hard skin or corn down the sides of the nail – onychophosis – this condition is easily treatable with conservative treatment. Why are my toenails discoloured and brittle? This is usually due to a fungal infection of toenails and is a common foot health problem that many people do not recognize. Fungi are simple parasitic plant organisms, such as molds and mildew that do not require sunlight for growth. They easily attack the nail, thriving off keratin, the nail’s protein substance. The nails appear to be discoloured, brittle and have a “musky” odour. This infection is called Onychomycosis, it is treatable by the application of antifungal paints or a course of tablets. Another reason for the discoloured nails is due to trauma – the nail hitting the front of the shoe and the nail becoming thickened and discoloured – condition called onychogryphosis Are athletes the only people that can suffer from ‘athletes foot’? No. Anyone can suffer with Athelete’s foot. It is usually a fungal infection affecting the skin on the feet and between the toes, but can move anywhere on the foot and can also affect the toenails. Infection of the skin is called Tinea Pedis. It is treatable, with antifungal creams, lotions and tablets. Once assessed, the podiatrist will be able to advise you on the best method of treatment. Why are my feet constantly hot? Burning or hot feet is a common complaint among many groups of people, most commonly in the older group over 50 years of age. It has a multi-factorial etiology (many different causes for the formation of the symptom of burning feet). This symptom is most prevalent in diabetics who present with a symptom of mixed neuropathy with loss of sensation on the plantar aspect (bottom of the feet). What causes sweaty feet? The wearing of shoes that have synthetic materials, which most shoes have, especially tennis shoes, and socks that are of man made fabric are contributing factors of the production of excessive perspiration and the bacteria growth that causes this condition. These two conditions set up a condition called athletes foot (tinea pedis). There is also a natural condition called Hyperihidrosis, which is excessively sweaty feet. Why are my heels so dry and cracked? Dry cracking heels (xeorosis) is a condition of thickening and fissuring (cracking of the bottom part of the heels). In most people this is a nuisance and a cosmetic problem. But when the problem persists, especially in diabetes or people with impaired vascular sufficiency, this can lead to a serious medical problem. The Podiatrist will be able to easily and painlessly remove the hard dry skin around the heels. What are corns and callous? A corn is a layer of hard skin that is compacted into a “Cone like” shape occurring wherever there is high pressure and friction. The apex (tip) of the corn presses on blood vessels and nerves, thus causing pain. Sheering (frictional) pressures cause calluses (layers of hard skin) . Corns and calluses are the foots defence against friction and pressure thus can occur anywhere on the foot where there is either excessive pressure or friction; or both. These conditions are usually painful but can respond to conservative care. What is a Podiatrist? Podiatrist is another name for Chiropodist – that is used in English speaking European countries. So there is no difference between a Chiropodist and a Podiatrist. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/treatments/foothealth-leaflets/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic The following foot advice leaflets were constructed by the Society Of Chiropodists & Podiatrists Please click on the relevant image and read the whole leaflet using Adobe Reader (Please allow somtime to download, as some of them are rather large) If you cannot find the condition that is affecting you or want further advice please click here to see the Society’s advice page --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/contact-us/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Contact Us Leyton Foot Clinic 14 High Road, Leyton, E15 2BP Fax: leytonfootclinic would like to keep in touch with any offers or news.

A verruca is simply a wart that is usually found on the soles of your feet, though they can also appear around the toes. In the early stages, a verruca looks like a small, dark, puncture mark but later turns grey or brown. It may become rough and bumpy with a cauliflower-like appearance and may develop a black spot in the middle, which is caused by bleeding. A verruca can grow to half an inch in diameter and may spread into a cluster of small warts. Verrucae are caused by the human papiloma virus (HPV). This virus is very contagious, but can only be caught by direct contact. It thrives in warm, moist environments such as swimming pools, changing room floors and bathrooms. So if an infected bare foot walks across the poolside, it may release virus-infected cells onto the floor. If you then walk on the same floor, you can pick the virus up, especially if you have any small or invisible cuts and abrasions that make it even easier for the virus to penetrate. You could also catch the virus from an infected towel. They are harmless. However, they can cause a sharp, burning pain if you get one on a weight-bearing area such as the ball or the heel of the foot. Because you are constantly pressing on the area when walking, they can protrude into the skin and become more painful. When you have verrucae on a non-weight-bearing surface (such as on the top of the foot or on the toes), they protrude above skin level, tend to be fleshier and cause less pain. Who gets a Verruca? Tend to be common in children, especially teenagers. However, for unknown reasons, some people seem to be more susceptible to the virus, whereas others are immune. What’s the difference between a corn and a verruca? A verruca is a viral infection, whereas a corn or callus are simply layers of dead skin. Verrucae tend to be painful to pinch, but if you’re unsure, your podiatrist will know. When you squeeze a wart, there is pain. Squeezing a corn does not cause pain. When you press a wart there is no pain. If you press a callus, there is often pain as bone is underneath the area When a verrucae is removed, there is pinpoint bleeding due to the small vessels underneath, the black dots commonly seen. Removing a corn does not cause bleeding unless deeper layers of healthy skin are affected. What can I do? Minimise your chances of catching a verruca by keeping your feet clean and dry, and covering up any cuts or scratches. Avoid walking barefoot in communal showers or changing rooms (wear flip-flops) and don’t share towels. Though you should wear verruca socks when swimming to avoid passing on the virus, they can also be worn as a preventive measure. If a verruca does appear, avoid touching or scratching it as it may spread into a cluster of several warts. Instead, cover it up with plaster. In some cases, this may cure it. Do not self-treat if you have diabetes or circulation problems. What can a podiatrist do? If yours is causing pain, there are a number of treatment options available – though no one particular treatment can guarantee a cure. Dry Needling – Our immune system is far more active in the deeper layers of our skin (dermis), which explains why some verrucae lesions are so resilient. Between these two layers is the dermo-epidermal junction and it is this that is traumatised during dry needling. Dry needling is a minor surgical procedure, which involves the use of a fine needle to puncture the verruca lesion and dermo epidermal junction multiple times under local anaesthesia. The goal is to implant infected cells into the dermis thus stimulating an immune response and, therefore; destruction of the virus. One huge advantage over other treatments such as cryosurgery and caustic (chemical acid) is that only one session of treatment is usually needed. If you have multiple lesions then still only the “mother lesion” needs to be treated as a systemic immune response is initiated. There is no evidence that suggests using this technique can spread the virus further. Recent studies have shown Verruca Dry Needling has a success rate of approximately 80%. Chemical (Acid) – A recent review of treatments in the British Medical Journal (August 2002) concluded that the safest and most effective treatments were those containing salicylic acid. This acid is applied to the wart to disintegrate the viral cells and has a cure rate of 75%. It will need to be applied at weekly intervals over a period of time, and the foot needs to be kept dry. Cryotherapy – This involves freezing warts off with liquid nitrogen or nitrous oxide gas. This needs to be done every 2 or 3 weeks for a few months before the verruca is fully removed. However, it can lead to soreness and blistering in some people. You can still swim after this treatment, but it’s not advised for sensitive or anxious children. Electrosurgery – After a local anaesthetic, the verruca is pared down. An electric needle is then placed in the middle of the wart for a few seconds until the wart boils – the verruca is then scooped out. Homeopathy – taking tablets that will heighten your immune system to fight off the virus. However, this method is very slow and can take several months; but is a pain free method. Leyton Foot Clinic offers a number of treatments, that will be discussed with yourself and then a mutual decision will be made as to what treatment will be best for you. At present there is no treatment that is 100% effective. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/lfc-blog/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic 🏃‍♂️ Podiatrist Leyton: Move More This April Without Foot Pain Podiatrist Leyton advice becomes especially important in April, as this is one of the key times of year that people begin to load their feet more!

It can lead to intense itching, cracked, blistered or peeling areas of skin, redness and scaling. It can occur on moist, waterlogged skin especially between the fourth and fifth toes, or on dry, flaky skin around the heels or elsewhere on the foot. Cause of Fungal Skin It’s caused by a number of fungal species which you can pick up from anywhere (typically communal areas such as pools, showers and changing rooms) or anywhere where you may walk around barefooted. The fungus on each bit of skin that falls away from someone else’s feet can be picked up by you. Once your feet have been contaminated, the warm, dark and sweaty environment of feet cramped in shoes or trainers provides the ideal breeding ground for the fungus. However, athlete’s foot also occurs in dry, flaky areas. It’s quite common in summer sandal-wearers. The sun makes your skin dry out, so it loses its natural protective oils; this combined with the constant trauma from sandals makes them more prone to infection. Who gets Fungal Skin Well, it’s not called athlete’s foot for nothing. Walking barefoot around swimming pools and spending your life in trainers make you more likely to suffer. But obviously, you don’t need to be an athlete to suffer. How serious is Fungal Skin? If left untreated, the fungus can spread to the toe nails, causing thickening and yellowing of the nail, which is much harder to treat. Fungal infections are highly contagious and can spread to anywhere on your skin – to your scalp, hands and even your groin, especially if you use the same towel for your feet as for the rest of your body. What can I Do? There are many things you can do to make your feet less hospitable to fungal infections: Re-think your footwear Firstly, change your footwear on a regular basis. There’s no point sorting your feet out if you constantly re-infect them by putting them into damp, fungally infected shoes. It takes 24-48 hours for shoes to dry out properly, so alternate your shoes daily. If you really have to wear the same pair day after day (say, if you’re on holiday), dry them out by using the hairdryer on a cold setting, as this will get rid of perspiration quickly without creating more heat. Or spray deodorant or surgical spirit into the shoe. To help shoes dry out more quickly, take any insoles out. Also, loosen any laces and open your shoes out fully so that air can circulate. Go for trainers with ventilation holes. If your shoes are so tight that they squeeze your toes together, this encourages moisture to gather between your toes and encourages fungus. Let air circulate between the toes by going for a wider, deeper toebox instead and choose shoes made from natural materials. Of course, you should also change your socks every day too. Wear flip-flops in the bathroom and in public showers. This will not only ensure that you don’t leave your dead skin around for others to pick up, but will stop you picking up other species of fungus! And never wear anyone else’s shoes, trainers or slippers. Foot Care Treatment: Re-think your footcare Treatment depends on what type of athlete’s foot you have: For athlete’s foot where the skin conditions are dry If your athlete’s foot occurs on a dry area such as your heel, you need to restore moisture by rubbing in an anti-fungal cream or ointment. However, don’t forget to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Even better, use disposable gloves so you don’t get the fungus on your hands at all. For athlete’s foot where the skin conditions have been moist This requires altogether different treatment. Wash your feet in as cold water as you can bear, as hot water only makes your feet fungus-friendly. Then dry them thoroughly after washing – preferably with a separate towel or even kitchen roll. Dab dry, don’t rub as rubbing tends to take away any healing skin. As the aim is to get rid of the moisture – although the skin may appear flaky and dry – never use moisturiser between your toes. Avoid powder too as it can cake up and irritate the skin. A spirit-based preparation can help, such as surgical spirit (it’s cooling, soothing and antiseptic). It might sting a bit,but it evaporates the moisture and allows the skin to heal. If your athlete’s foot is mild or you’ve only just started to suffer, rethinking your foot hygiene may help. Surgical spirit may be enough to see it off. However if an antifungal medication is required, your pharmacist can recommend one. The mistake most people make is to stop the hygiene regime, shoe rotation and/or medication once their symptoms have gone. Even though your symptoms may disappear after several days or weeks, the fungus can lie dormant and could eventually reappear if the environment is right. Some products require continued treatment for many weeks – always follow the instructions. Also, be alert to symptoms so that you can deal with any problems straight away. Though you should avoid using anti-fungal powders between the toes, they’re good for dusting inside shoes and trainers. What can podiatrists at Leyton Foot Clinic do? You should be able to get rid of athlete’s foot on your own, but a podiatrist may help you pinpoint the best treatment for your particular type of athlete’s foot. Your podiatrist can also help if the fungal infection has spread to your nails, by reducing the thickness and cutting back the nails, thereby exposing the infected nail bed to a lighter, cooler environment. Nail infections don’t respond to topical treatments. You need oral medication (i.e. tablets) to kill the fungus in nails. If the fungus is only in the nail and not elsewhere, it is probably caused by an injury. An injury allows the fungus to creep in and multiply under the nail. This can affect the substance of the nail which may become crusty, discoloured and deformed. This oral medication needed, however, can have side effects. So if you have other medical conditions or are on other medication, your GP or podiatrist may recommend that you don’t take it. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/treatments/biomechanics/sports-injuries/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Whether you are a professional or play sport just for fun, the demands made on your feet and lower limbs can lead to a range of injuries, including blisters, sprained ankles, torn ligaments, shin splints, knee pain, low back pain and other joint/muscle problems. There’s also common complaints such as corns, callous and athlete’s foot. Asking too much of your joints and muscles can lead to injury. When we run, our body weight is multiplied up to three times, with our feet bearing the brunt of the stress at every stride (over 1,000 strides per mile, per foot). An 11 stone man of average size will process 112 tons of weight through each limb per mile. Mechanics of walking With each step, the vertical axis of the heel should land almost perpendicular to the ground, with a slight inclination of only a few degrees toward the outside of the heel. From there, the weight is distributed progressively toward the lateral (outside) side of the foot. As the little toe starts to touch the ground, the arch of the foot should flatten slightly, shifting the body’s weight toward the medial (inside) side of the foot. The heel then should start to lift off the ground, shifting the weight to the medial forefoot. This is a complex process in which many things can go wrong. If a structural problem is present, the foot can collapse under the body’s weight creating more severe injuries, such as sprained ankles, shin splints and even fractures. Over time, stresses on the feet can deform them. One of the foot’s main functions is to absorb shock as the body’s weight shifts with each step. It does this through a complex process in which the arch of the foot flattens slightly. This absorbs and distributes the weight throughout the entire foot. Highly Arched (Cavus) Foot A person with a high arch, called a cavus foot – the arch does not flatten, it absorbs shock poorly. Instead of spreading it throughout the entire foot, the weight of the body falls only on the heel and the bases of the toes. This increases stress on the foot, especially the heel. Furthermore, because the weight is not absorbed well in the foot, it radiates up the leg to other joints. Over time, this can cause pain in the knees, hips and lower back. To correct this condition, an orthotic is used to bring the ground into even contact with the rest of the foot. This allows the entire foot to support the weight of the body. Extra cushioning can be built into the orthotic so that some of the force does not even reach the foot. Flat (Planus) Foot A person with a low/flattened arch, called a planus foot – the arch flattens too much.. In such cases, the weight distribution on the foot is too far on the medial side. The foot appears to roll inwards – a condition called pronation. A flat foot is unstable and cannot maintain a proper arch. Over time, the weight of the body on an unstable foot will cause the bones of the foot to become misaligned. This can lead to the development bunions, hammertoes and other foot deformities, as well as knee, hip and lower back pain. To address this problem, an orthotic with an increased arch will be prescribed to distribute the weight laterally. Depending on shape of the foot, the heel of the orthotic can be slanted to shift the weight more toward the center of the heel. At Leyton foot clinic, we have the experience and expertise to assist with any form of sports related injury to your feet and lower limbs. With The introduction of the Advanced Laser Orthotic Technology for making medically prescribed orthotics, we are able to treat a wide range of problems more effectively.

A Leyton Podiatrist Explains As March arrives, many people across Leyton, Stratford and East London are walking more than they did during the winter months. Step counters rise, gym routines settle in, and longer walks become part of everyday life. But here’s something we often see at Leyton Foot Clinic. 👉 Just as activity improves, March foot pain suddenly appears. Patients frequently tell us the same story: January started well, February felt manageable, but by March their heels, arches or ankles start to ache. The good news is that this pattern is very common — and in most cases, it’s also very manageable with the right advice. Why March Foot Pain Happens From a podiatry perspective, the issue isn’t usually the walking itself. It’s how quickly activity increased earlier in the year. During winter, many people naturally become less active. When January motivation arrives, walking distances, exercise routines and standing time can increase rapidly. Muscles adapt fairly quickly, but the tissues in the foot — such as ligaments and tendons — often take longer to adjust. By March, the body sometimes reveals this imbalance through symptoms such as: Heel pain when getting out of bed Aching arches after walking Tight calves after longer walks Tender pressure points under the foot Mild ankle or knee discomfort These symptoms are early warning signs that the feet may need a little support. The Most Common Foot Problems We See In March At our podiatrist clinic in Leyton, the most common causes of March foot pain include: Plantar fasciitis – A common cause of heel pain, often felt during the first steps in the morning. Overuse strain – When activity increases faster than the foot structures can adapt. Worn or unsuitable footwear – Many trainers lose their support long before they look worn out. Reduced ankle flexibility – Tight calf muscles can increase strain on the heel and arch. Most of these issues respond very well to early podiatry advice. Walking More Should Feel Better — Not Worse Movement is one of the best things you can do for your health. Walking regularly improves circulation, strengthens muscles and supports overall wellbeing. However, when March foot pain appears, it is usually a signal that the body needs small adjustments rather than more pressure. At Leyton Foot Clinic, we often recommend: Increasing walking distances gradually Rotating footwear to reduce repetitive pressure Stretching the calves and ankles regularly Replacing worn trainers that no longer provide support Addressing small symptoms before they become persistent These small steps often make a noticeable difference. Why Seeing A Podiatrist Early Makes A Difference Many people assume they should wait until foot pain becomes severe before seeking help. In reality, early assessment can prevent minor issues from developing into long-term problems. A professional assessment with a podiatrist in Leyton allows us to check: Foot alignment and walking mechanics Pressure distribution across the foot Skin and nail health Footwear suitability Early signs of common conditions such as plantar fasciitis This structured approach helps patients stay active comfortably throughout the year. From January Goals To Spring Walking If you increased your activity earlier this year, you might also find our earlier article helpful: 👉 New Year, New Pain? This blog explains why foot discomfort often begins when activity increases suddenly after the New Year. Many patients find that understanding this January pattern makes March foot pain much easier to manage. Local Podiatry Care In Leyton At Leyton Foot Clinic, we help patients from Leyton, Stratford, Leytonstone and across East London stay comfortable and active. Foot pain does not mean you need to stop moving. In many cases, a few simple adjustments can restore comfort quickly and help prevent recurring problems. If you are experiencing March foot pain, a professional foot health check can help identify the cause and guide the best treatment plan. 👉 Book an appointment at Leyton Foot Clinic and keep your feet moving comfortably into spring. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/new-year-new-pain/ --- New Year, New Pain? - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic New Year, New Pain? New Year, New Pain? Why January Fitness Backfires … January arrives and suddenly everyone is a fitness expert. Social media fills with “New Year, New You” promises, and overnight everyplace including Leyton, Stratford, and Hackney turn into training grounds. Brand-new running shoes appear, gym memberships get dusted off, step challenges explode… and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park starts to look like it’s hosting Olympic trials. But here at Leyton Foot Clinic we see the negative aspect of this “New Year, New Me” mantra … New Year. New Me. New gym gear. New pain incoming. Here’s the part no one wants to admit: The “New Year, New Me” intention is good and the enthusiasm is real … But for bodies that spent most of the last few months cosying indoors, eating celebrations, watching Netflix and generally being kind to your sofa … your feet, ankles, knees and legs are not magically ready for the “January Athlete” personality your brain suddenly adopts. At Leyton Foot Clinic, January is one of our busiest months. We regularly see patients from Leyton, East London, Stratford, Hackney, and beyond who’ve gone from zero to full throttle — and their feet simply haven’t had time to adapt. The result … Heel pain flare ups (especially plantar fasciitis) Shin splints from sudden running increases Ankle sprains due to weak stabilisers Achilles irritation Knee overload from poor alignment + weak glutes Calf + hamstring strain Stress fractures from unrealistic daily step goals Your body didn’t sign a legal agreement to go from zero to marathon prep in 14 days. It simply isn’t conditioned yet. Why the “New Year, New Me” plan collapses Motivation is high … but biomechanics are unprepared Sedentary to HIIT overnight = injury Joints take loads they’ve not seen in months Trainers are often cheap, worn or not suitable The expectation is too big, too fast, too soon And by week three of January? We see the limping, the compensation walks, the hobbling in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and the emergency “my heel is screaming” bookings. January shouldn’t break you … It should build you! So, Start small. Start progressive. Start with movement that conditions the kinetic chain — not punishes it! Short walks daily Good footwear and proper lacing Gradual strength building Controlled load increases Habit is the key to success Because the people who win February, March and Summer … are the ones who didn’t destroy their feet trying to impress January. If you’re starting a new routine, training for spring races, upping your daily steps, or joining a gym — protect your lower limbs first. Your feet are your foundation.

The aim of this practice is to alleviate foot pain, improve foot function and try to prevent further suffering and deformity where possible. The founder of Leyton Foot Clinic is a HCPC registered podiatrist: Mr Satvinder Munday – also known as Tony Munday – who qualified in 1990 from the prestigious London Foot Hospital, after having done a 3 year full time podiatry course. He then worked as an associate Podiatrist in several private clinics in central London, aswell as NHS posts in Hargingey and Ealing Health Authorities; before establishing the Leyton Foot Clinic. Further studies involved: BSc (hons) course in Westminster University in the field of Podiatric Medicine CPS (Sports Pod) course in Manchester Metropolitan University in the field of Sports Podiatry Lower Limb acupuncture – use of acupuncture in pain management Foot Mobilisation – manual therapy movements in foot pain management As a part of the HCPC rules – Podiatrists constantly attend continuing professional courses to further enhance techniques and apply latest cutting edge theories and ideologies to treatments – such as the introduction of the latest Foot Laser Scanner equipment, which is able to scan the sole of each foot quickly and effectively. This then provides a set of data, from which a pair of medically prescribed orthotics are milled using a computerised milling machine. These “tailor made, error free” orthotics are then worn by the patient to correct alignment and reduce excessive forces that may be the cause of pain. Leyton Foot Clinic is one of the few podiatry clinics in the UK to offer a new therapy known as Foot Mobilisation Techniques: derived from manipulative therapy, an established treatment widely used by physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathy practitioners. Foot Mobilisation is a gentle, hands-on approach that corrects misaligned joints in your feet, so they can work as nature intended. Often misaligned joints in the feet lead to postural problems which can cause pain in the knees, legs, hips and even lower back.

New Year, New You: A Fresh Start for Your Feet The new year is the perfect time to embrace a fresh start, and there’s no better way to begin than by prioritizing your foot health. Your feet are your foundation, supporting you in every step of life’s journey. At Leyton Foot Clinic, we believe that a “new you” starts from the ground up. Walking is one of the simplest and most effective ways to kickstart your health goals. It’s accessible, cost-effective, and provides a range of benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, better mood, and enhanced circulation. January’s crisp winter air adds an invigorating touch, making it easier to shake off the holiday sluggishness and focus on your resolutions. Putting Your Best Foot Forward in 2025 Every step you take this year can be a step toward better health, and we’re here to help you put your best foot forward. Proper foot care is essential for maintaining mobility, preventing injuries, and staying active throughout the year. This January, consider the following tips to set yourself up for success: Invest in Supportive Footwear Choose shoes that offer good arch support, cushioning, and traction. This is especially important during winter when icy pavements can increase the risk of slips and falls. Schedule Regular Podiatry Checkups A podiatrist can identify potential issues early, provide personalized advice, and recommend orthotics or treatments tailored to your needs. Stay Active Safely Incorporate walking into your daily routine, starting with short, manageable distances. Gradually increase your pace and duration as your fitness improves. Address Foot Pain Promptly Avoid discomfort or persistent issues like heel pain, bunions, or calluses. Early intervention can prevent more serious problems. At Leyton Foot Clinic, we specialize in helping patients manage a variety of conditions, including plantar fasciitis, arch pain, and bunions. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that every step is comfortable, pain-free, and aligned with your goals. Walking Into New Year’s Resolutions For many, the new year brings a renewed focus on health and wellness. Walking is a fantastic way to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine, making it a perfect complement to resolutions like: Weight Management: Walking burns calories and boosts metabolism, helping you achieve or maintain a healthy weight. Stress Reduction: A brisk walk in nature can work wonders for mental clarity and stress relief. Building Strength: Walking strengthens foot muscles, improves balance, and enhances overall endurance. Preventing Chronic Conditions: Regular walking lowers the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. These benefits aren’t just about physical health—they’re about creating a lifestyle that supports long-term well-being. Make walking not just a resolution, but a habit you carry throughout the year. Navigating Winter Challenges Winter brings unique challenges for foot health, from cold weather to icy surfaces. Here’s how to keep your feet happy and healthy during the colder months: Layer Up: Insulated socks and waterproof shoes keep feet warm and dry, reducing the risk of frostbite or fungal infections. Moisturize Daily: Cold weather can cause dry, cracked heels. Use a good-quality foot cream to maintain skin hydration. Practice Safety: Wear shoes with good grip to prevent slips on icy pavements. Consider adding traction aids if needed. Stay Vigilant: Check your feet regularly for signs of blisters, cuts, or other issues, especially if you have diabetes or poor circulation.

General knee pain is located around the knee cap, but no specific point of tenderness can be located. I have found by experience that the majority of people don’t actually stretch or warm-up before exercising. This can cause a strain on the muscles of the leg and pull the knee cap to cause general Knee Pain. Occasionally the muscles on the front of your thigh – called the Quadraceips – are too tight to due inactivity or become tighter with increased running and lack of stretching or warming up. So it is vital to stretch and warm-up before doing any activity – especially running. The key to stretching and warm-up exercises is to maintain control and take things easy – so has to have a full effect on the muscle that you are working out. Should you be unfortunate to have general knee pain, there is a few things that you can do: Rest or simply reduce the activity time for a week or so. Ice the knee with a bag of peas from the freezer – applying to the area via a cloth, so as not to “freeze” the skin around the area – keep it applied for 5 minutes only and repeat every hour. Compression knee bandage – though most therapists don’t advise any compression bandages; if you feel that your general knee pain requires support, you are free to wear a support for a short time only. But don’t rely on it, as it has been said that the muscles get weaker and you then have to strengthen them more exercises. Elevate the knee if it is very swollen initially, but once the swelling has reduced – start using the knee careful to gain mobility and strength. You can use an ant-inflammatory gel; like Bio-Freeze (my recommendation) or ibugel. If you were able to attend the clinic – we could use acupuncture, laser and even kinesiology taping call Rocktape. All of which will aid to reduce the inflammation and increase mobility.

A bunion is a prominent bump on the inside of the foot around the big toe joint. This bump is actually a bone protruding towards the inside of the foot. With the continued movement of the big toe towards the smaller toes, it is common to find the big toe resting under or over the second toe. This causes a common forefoot condition called overlapping toes. Some of the symptoms of bunions include inflammation, swelling, and soreness on the side surface of the big toe. The discomfort commonly causes a patient to walk improperly. Another type of bunion which some individuals experience is called a Tailor’s Bunion, also known as a Bunionette. This forms on the outside of the foot towards the joint at the little toe. It is a smaller bump that forms due to the little toe moving inwards, towards the big toe. Cause Of Bunions Bunions are a common problem experienced mostly by women. The deformity can develop from an abnormality in foot function, or arthritis, but is more commonly caused by wearing improper fitting footwear. Tight, narrow dress shoes with a constrictive toe box (toe area) can cause the foot to begin to take the shape of the shoe, leading to the formation of a bunion. Women who have bunions normally wear dress shoes that are too small for their feet. Their toes are squeezed together in their shoes causing the first metatarsal bone to protrude on the side of the foot. It is important for men and women to realize that wearing dress shoes and boots, which are tapered in the toe area, can cause the bunion to worsen to the point where surgery is necessary. Symptoms Some bunions do not cause symptoms or noticeable problems but in the later stages they usually become painful due to pressure or rubbing. Pain and/ or soreness at the base of the big toe normally within the joint. Inflammation, redness, burning sensation at the base of big toe. Sometimes numbness in the area. Callus is very likely to form under the 1st and 2nd toes. What home treatments can you try before attending a podiatry consultation? Avoid tight shoes and high heels Softer leather shoes may be more comfortable Prolonged standing (especially in poor footwear) should be avoided Cold compress can be helpful in relieving pain. Elevate the feet when resting Padding the area with soft fleecy dressings available from pharmacies Non steroidal anti inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. What treatment can our podiatrists provide for Bunions? Treatment should be sought through a podiatrist for long term prevention and relief of pain and stiffness Firstly our podiatrists will perform a physical examination and give you an accurate diagnosis. It is essential to form an accurate diagnosis so the correct treatment can be recommended Padding and dressings Exercises may be given to strengthen the foot Further pain relief advice: our podiatrist can also offer acupuncture and cortisone injections (steroid) Activity modification advice Footwear advice Recommendation to attend for a biomechanical assessment Orthotic devices to correct the foot function and to rest the painful area X rays and/ or surgery may be needed in extreme cases by an orthopaedic surgeon.

These fungi often live harmlessly on your skin, but they can sometimes multiply and lead to infections. The fungi prefer warm, dark and moist places like the feet. You’re more likely to get a fungal nail infection if you: don’t keep your feet clean and dry wear shoes that cause your feet to get hot and sweaty walk around barefoot in places where fungal infections can spread easily, such as communal showers, locker rooms and gyms have damaged your nails have a weakened immune system have certain other health conditions, such as diabetes, psoriasis or peripheral arterial disease Fungal nail infections can be spread to other people, so you should take steps to avoid this if you have an infection. Treatments for fungal nail infections Treatment isn’t always needed for a mild fungal nail infection because it’s unlikely to cause any further problems and you may feel it’s not worth treating. Whether you decide to have treatment or not, you should still practise good foot hygiene to stop the infection getting worse or spreading to others. Speak to your GP or Podiatrist if you’re bothered by the appearance of the affected nail, or it’s causing problems such as pain and discomfort. They’ll probably recommend: antifungal tablets – tablets taken once or twice a day for several months antifungal nail paints – special paints applied directly to the nail over several months reduction of the infected nail with a podiatry drill A procedure to remove the nail completely may be recommended in severe cases. Laser treatment, where a high-energy laser is used to destroy the fungus, is also an option. Preventing fungal nail infections You can reduce your risk of developing a fungal nail infection by: keeping your hands and feet clean and dry wearing well-fitting shoes made of natural materials and clean cotton socks – these will allow your feet to “breathe” clipping your nails to keep them short – don’t share clippers or scissors with other people not sharing towels and socks with other people, and ensure your towels are washed regularly not walking around barefoot in public pools, showers, and locker rooms – special shower shoes are available to protect your feet replacing old footwear that could be contaminated with fungi treating athlete’s foot as soon as possible to avoid the infection spreading to your nails --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/home/surgical-and-non-surgical/ --- Surgical and non-surgical - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic What is an ingrowing toenail? An ingrowing toenail is where the side of a nail pierces the flesh of the toe. It can feel as if you have a splinter, and can be extremely painful. In more severe cases, it can cause pus and bleeding. Ingrowing toenails most commonly affect the big toenail, but can affect the other toes too. This condition is often confused with another “simpler” condition in which a nail that is curling (involuted or convoluted) into the flesh, but doesn’t actually piercing the skin, but both can feel very painful and also appear red and inflamed. Who gets an ingrowing toenail? Active, sporty people are particularly prone, because they sweat more. Younger people are more likely to get it (as they pick their nails more, compared to older people who may not reach their toes!) Women often develop them as a result of cutting nails too low in order to relieve the pressure and discomfort of an involuted nail, often caused by tight pointed shoes. Is an ingrowing toenail serious? If left untreated, the infection can spread to the rest of the toe. The quicker you treat it, the less painful the treatment. What causes an ingrowing toenail? There are many genetic factors that can make you prone to ingrowing toenails, such as your posture (the way you stand), your gait (the way you walk), a foot deformity such as a bunion, hammer toes or excessive pronation of the feet (when your foot rolls in excessively). Your nails may also naturally splay or curl out instead of growing straight, encouraging your nail to grow outwards or inwards into the flesh. Tight footwear, tight hosiery and tight socks can also push your toe flesh onto the nail so that it pierces the skin, and if you sweat excessively or don’t rotate your footwear, this makes the skin moist, so that it welcomes the nail like a soft sponge. If you have brittle nails with sharp edges or are in the habit of breaking off bits of nails that are sticking out, you’re more likely to get an ingrowing toenail. However, one of the most common causes is not cutting your toenails properly. What can I do? Firstly, learn to cut your nails properly. Nail cutters aren’t a good idea because the curved cutting edge can cut the flesh and nail scissors can slip. So it’s best to use nail nippers (available from chemists) because they have a smaller cutting blade but a longer handle. Cut your nails straight across and don’t cut too low at the edge or down the side. The corner of the nail should be visible above the skin. Also, cut them after a bath or shower when they’re soft. Good hygiene can go a long way to preventing ingrowing toenails. Avoid moist, soggy feet by rotating your footwear so each pair has a chance to dry out thoroughly. Avoid man-made materials and choose socks and shoes of natural fibre. In the summer, wear open-toed sandals where possible. If you’ve booked an appointment with a podiatrist, relieve the discomfort in the meantime by bathing your foot in a salty footbath. This prevents infection and reduces inflammation. Then apply a clean sterile dressing, especially if you have a discharge. Rest your foot as much as possible. If you have diabetes, are taking steroids or are on anti-coagulants, don’t attempt to cut your nails or remove the ingrowing spike of nail yourself. What can a podiatrist do? It depends on the severity of your condition. For the most basic painful and irritable ingrowing toenail, your podiatrist will remove the offending spike of nail and cover with an antiseptic dressing. If your toe is too painful to touch, your podiatrist may inject a local anaesthetic before removing the offending portion of nail. If you have involuted nails, your podiatrist may remove the bit that’s curling into the flesh and file the edges of the nail to a smooth surface. If you have bleeding or discharge from an infection, or even excessive healing flesh (hypergranulation tissue) around the nail, you’ll need antibiotics to beat the infection as well as having the offending spike removed. Not everyone coming to Leyton Foot Clinic with an ingrowing toenail actually has an ingrowing toenail. Sometimes they have a curly nail which has a lot of debris (dirt or fluff) underneath it or a corn or callus down the side of the nail, which can be nearly as painful. However, if it’s a corn, the pain tends to be throbbing as opposed to the sharp pain you get with an ingrowing toenail. If this is the case, your podiatrist will remove the debris, and if necessary, thin the nail. If you are particularly prone to ingrowing toenails from underlying problems such as poor gait, your Leyton Foot Clinic may recommend correction of the underlying problem as well as a more permanent solution to the nail itself, such as partial nail avulsion (PNA). This is done under a local anaesthetic, where 8-10% of the nail is removed (including the root) so that the nail permanently becomes slightly narrower. The chemical phenol cauterises the nail and prevents it regrowing in the corners. This is 97-98% successful. You will have to attend the clinic for a number of re-dressings. After surgery, the overall appearance of the nail looks normal – to the extent that some people even forget which nail they’ve had done! – see the video below about the operation from one of the most senior podiatrists in the podiatry world. Thanks to Emma Supple for a great video on Ingrowing Toenails --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/treatments/podiatry-treatments/ingrowing-toenail-treatment/ --- Ingrowing Toenail treatment - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Definition of Ingrowing Toe Nail Known to podiatrists as onychocryptosis, ingrown toe nails are a common, painful condition that occur when skin on one or both sides of a nail grows over the edges of the nail, or when the nail itself grows into the skin. This condition is usually very painful and can be associated with infection of the toe. Some ingrown toenails are chronic, with repeated episodes of pain and infection. Irritation, redness, an uncomfortable sensation of warmth, as well as swelling can result from an ingrown toenail. Cause of Ingrowing Toe Nail Ingrown toenails develop for many reasons. In some cases the condition is congenital, such as toenails that simply are too large. People whose toes curl, either congenitally or from diseases like arthritis, are prone to ingrown toenails. Often trauma, like stubbing a toe or having a toe stepped on, can cause a piece of the nail to be jammed into the skin. Repeated trauma,such as the pounding to which runners typically subject their feet, also can cause ingrown nails. The most common cause is cutting your toenails incorrectly, causing them to re-grow into the skin. Tight hosiery or shoes with narrow toe boxes only make matters worse. If the skin is red, painful or swollen on the sides of the nail, an infection may be present. This occurs because the ingrown nail is often in a warm, moist and bacteria-rich environment. When the nail penetrates the skin, it provides a convenient entry for germs that can cause infection. Untreated, the nail can go under the skin, causing a more severe infection. In either case, the infection needs to be cured with sterile instruments and antibiotics. Treatment and Prevention of Ingrowing Toe Nail Ingrown toenails should be treated as soon as they are recognized. In many cases, people with uninfected ingrown toenails can obtain relief with the following simple regimen: Soak the feet in warm salt water Dry them thoroughly with a clean towel Apply a mild antiseptic solution to the area Bandage the toe If excessive inflammation, swelling, pain or discharge is present, the toenail probably is infected and should be treated by a Podiatrist; who can trim or remove the infected nail with a minor in-office surgical procedure. He or she can remove the offending portion of the nail or overgrown skin with a scalpel and treat the infection. Unless, the problem is congenital, the best way to prevent ingrown toenails is to protect the feet from trauma and wear shoes with adequate room for the toes. Cutting toe nails properly goes a long way toward the prevention of ingrown toenails. Using a safety nail clipper, cut the nails straight across, so that the nail corner is visible. If you cut the nail too short, you are inviting the nail corner to grow into the skin. It is the natural tendency, when the edge of the nail starts to grow in, to cut down at an angle at the nail edge, to relieve the pain. This does relieve the pain temporarily, but it also can start a downward spiral, training the nail to become more and more ingrown. Here at Leyton Foot Clinic, we can treat upto 80% of all ingrowing toenails with conservative treatment, by just using either a scalpel or special fine pointed nail cutters. the remaining 20% of cases, need minor surgical intervention. How will surgery correct the deformity? Whilst removing the nail will resolve the current problem, the nail will grow back and it is likely that you will be left with the same problem. In order to prevent the nail growing, the troublesome section of nail is removed and a strong chemical, phenol, is applied to prevent the nail from re-growing. In the vast majority of patients we only need to remove a small section at one or both sides of the nail (partial nail avulsion). This leaves you with a narrower nail but without the troublesome section. In some instances, the whole nail needs removing (total nail avulsion). In this case, there will be no further nail growth. If an ingrown toenail has been present for some time, there is often a build up of excess tissue that bleeds easily and looks red. This is known as hypergranulation tissue and is an over reaction to the irritation and / or infection. This will be removed during the operation. What will happen at the operation? The operation will be performed under local anaesthetic, so you are awake and can eat normally up until the time of your operation. The injection is given at the base of the affected toes and is generally more comfortable than a dental injection. The operation will last for approximately 10-15 minutes per toe but you may be at the clinic for much longer to allow sufficient preparation and post operative monitoring. A large dressing will be placed on your toes. so remember to bring along a sandal. You should avoid wearing tight clothing. What are the advantages of this operation? Less discomfort No episodes of infection Easier shoe choice Easier walking Whilst it cannot be guaranteed that you will never have another problem with the toe or be completely pain free, it is highly likely that your toe will be much improved. I have heard it is a very painful operation. Advances in techniques, local anaesthetics and pain killers now mean that patients have a high level of success with much less pain. Generally speaking, there is very little discomfort the night of the operation or during the healing period, depending on the tightness of the shoes worn. It is rare that the level of pain is not controlled by normal headache tablets (e.g.Paracetamol); and keeping the foot elevated. What are the complications? Every effort is made to minimise the risk of complications and these are rare. However, some specific complications may occur, such as: Prolonged weeping Infection. This can occur during recovery although the operation is often performed due to an infected ingrown toenail, thus this is less likely once the nail has been removed A reaction to phenol (phenol flare) can occur but this is rare and will be dealt with if necessary (less than 1%) Re-growth of the nail. This occurs in approximately 5-8% of patients undergoing partial nail avulsion and 10% of those undergoing total nail avulsion. The re-growth is often less troublesome than the original problem but the procedure can be repeated if necessary. In rare cases a small section of nail can re-grow beneath he skin at the base of the nail (less than 0.5%). This can form a small cyst, which requires excision. Although all these complications are possible they are infrequent. Please be sure to discuss any areas of concern with your podiatrist as well as specific complications related to the procedure you may undergo. How long will it take me to recover? You should not drive following the operation. We advise you to arrange a lift or get a taxi after the operation. We generally advise you to rest the first night and take pain killers as necessary. We generally advise you to keep your foot elevated for the first 24 hours. First week The application of the phenol to destroy the nail bed causes a chemical burn, which takes time to heal. you will be reviewed after every 2/3 days of the operation, and redressed accordingly. It is advisable to keep the foot dry and covered. You should be able to get about fairly well but may need to take care with your shoe choice and avoid excessive activity. Between 2-6 weeks after surgery You will need to re-dress the toe and do salt water footbaths for 10 minutes on a daily basis, until the toe stops weeping. On average, this occurs between 2-6 weeks following the operation. Generally, this is sooner rather than later. You should be relatively active during this period. You will be seen as and when necessary, depending on the outcome of the toe. Please note, if a complication arises, recovery may be delayed, but don’t worry we at Leyton Foot Clinic will continue to review and monitor the situation until the toe completely heals. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/treatments/biomechanics/corrective-insolesorthoses/ --- orthoses - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic The mechanics of how we move around essentially involve the interaction between the foot, ankle, knee, hip and lower back, and pain arising in any of these joints can not only impede movement, but can be a direct result of incorrect posture or gait. Many lower-back, hip and knee pains originate in the feet. Misaligned joints and joints which malfunction causes bad posture forcing the body to compensate thereby creating stress in other areas. Biomechanical assessments are a means of examining the feet and their range of motion, and establishing exactly where the problem occurs. Through our biomechanical assessment and orthotics services, we can identify the specific cause of the pain and movement restriction and develop a management plan to treat and correct the problems. The plan will typically involve a tailored muscle stretching/strengthening programme and/or custom made orthotics. Symptoms which are commonly treated using biomechanical assessment and orthotics include: Foot pain, ankle pain, knee pain, hip pain, lower back pain Plantar Fasciitis Morton’s Neuroma Metatarsal pain Bunions Heel Spurs Achilles Tendonitis Shin Splints IT Band Syndrome The benefits of our biomechanical and orthotics services can be seen in improved posture and balance, enhanced efficiency of movement and the prevention of joint and soft tissue injury. And for the sportsperson, a general improvement in athletic performance. To correct any areas of malfunction and to stop the body from over compensating, a pair of orthotics are used. Orthotics are prescription in-soles which are made specifically for an individual taking into account individual requirements. They control the joints and range of motion by supporting the foot in its correct position and realigning posture, they can certainly help in reducing pain. It’s a potentially life-changing service – call us to see how we can help you manage your particular joint pain condition.

The aim of this practice is to alleviate foot pain, improve foot function and try to prevent further suffering and deformity where possible. The founder of Leyton Foot Clinic is a HCPC registered podiatrist: Mr Satvinder Munday – also known as Tony Munday – who qualified in 1990 from the prestigious London Foot Hospital, after having done a 3 year full time podiatry course. He then worked as an associate Podiatrist in several private clinics in central London, aswell as NHS posts in Hargingey and Ealing Health Authorities; before establishing the Leyton Foot Clinic. Further studies involved: BSc (hons) course in Westminster University in the field of Podiatric Medicine CPS (Sports Pod) course in Manchester Metropolitan University in the field of Sports Podiatry Lower Limb acupuncture – use of acupuncture in pain management Foot Mobilisation – manual therapy movements in foot pain management As a part of the HCPC rules – Podiatrists constantly attend continuing professional courses to further enhance techniques and apply latest cutting edge theories and ideologies to treatments – such as the introduction of the latest Foot Laser Scanner equipment, which is able to scan the sole of each foot quickly and effectively. This then provides a set of data, from which a pair of medically prescribed orthotics are milled using a computerised milling machine. These “tailor made, error free” orthotics are then worn by the patient to correct alignment and reduce excessive forces that may be the cause of pain. Leyton Foot Clinic is one of the few podiatry clinics in the UK to offer a new therapy known as Foot Mobilisation Techniques: derived from manipulative therapy, an established treatment widely used by physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathy practitioners. Foot Mobilisation is a gentle, hands-on approach that corrects misaligned joints in your feet, so they can work as nature intended. Often misaligned joints in the feet lead to postural problems which can cause pain in the knees, legs, hips and even lower back. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/product-category/fungal-treatment/ --- Fungal Treatment Archives - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic ­ Curanail Lamisil AT Cream Lamisil AT Spray Lamisil Once Cream Poderm Nail Treatment --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/product/biofreeze-gel/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Biofreeze Pain Relieving Gel, 118 ml Tube, Cooling Topical Analgesic, On-the-Go, Long Lasting, Soothing, Targeted Pain Relief, Cold Therapy, Fast Acting for Muscle, Joint & Back Pain Biofreeze provides long lasting and fast acting cold therapy pain relief for sore muscles, back aches, sore joints, and arthritis For over 25 years, Biofreeze has been cooling the nation’s pain Comes with two 118ml bottles of Biofreeze Gel, perfect for application on small and large muscle areas Product is not tested on animals, made with USP grade ingredients, and free of NSAIDs Buy product --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/tag/london/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Keep Your Feet Warm In Winter Some parts of the country have reported slight frost on the ground, as we have briefly discussed the topic of how to keep your feet warm on Bonfire night in our last blog post – should you wish to read it, please click here and we were recently amazed by some of the tips given Read more… --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/tag/bonfire/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Pinch Kick 1st November Pinch Kick (well we are a Podiatry Clinic) – FIRST of NOVEMBER is here.

Over time, the damage prevents the absorption of nutrients into the body. Grains such as wheat, barley, rye, and even some oat products contain gluten. The destruction is irreversible and the only known treatment is a carefully controlled diet. September 13 denotes #CeliacDiseaseAwarenessDay … and while doing some research I came across an article that caught my attention – Celiac Disease and Foot Pain – I had never heard of Gluten Ataxia Gait until I had read the article; just shows that you can teach an old dog, like me, new information! So it appears that Gluten Ataxia is a chronic condition that causes problems with balance and gait. It occurs when the antibodies that are produced in response to the ingestion of gluten attack the cerebellum, the portion of the brain located in the back of the skull just above your neck. The cerebellum plays a vital role in controlling movement, helping you coordinate the motions associated with activities like articulating speech, walking or running, as well as controlling posture and balance. Should the cerebellum be comprised, then a host of symptoms are seen like abnormal gait, balance or speech. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/lunch-break-at-clinic/ --- Lunch Break at Clinic - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Lunch Break at Clinic It’s not easy to squeeze in a lunch break, but it’s often needed for our health and sanity.

If you are letting of some fireworks, please remember to use the firework code and as it may be a bit nippy at this time of the month, please remember to wear warm thick socks, primarily made from wool for the best insulation. They lock in the heat as you’re leaving the house and encourage it to grow, as you’re moving around. Combine them with your best trainers or wellies, and you probably won’t even give your feet a second thought when you’re outdoors. When you’re spending time outdoors, you need shoes that’ll stop the water from pouring between your toes. That means it’s time to get the wellies out then. Because without waterproof footwear, even when seepage starts as a trickle, the wetness soon gathers. While some schools of thought suggest that viruses alone trigger colds, there is evidence to support the idea that wet feet won’t make matters any better. According to some research from the experts at Cardiff University, having cold and wet feet slows down your nose’s epithelium’s reactions. In other words, it means your nose is less likely to keep pesky viruses out. This says there’s a strong case for keeping your feet both warm AND dry when you’re attending events such as Bonfire Night. Did you know … That although everyone loves a steaming cup of tea or coffee for staying warm. But, will it do your feet any good? Science says, probably not. Although caffeine keeps you energised for a short while, it also acts a vasoconstrictor. This means there’s less blood flowing through your vessels. Blood isn’t just essential for delivering oxygen and removing toxins; it keeps your feet warm. While the vasoconstriction is probably minimal when you’re aiming to do everything you can to promote warm feet, every little bit can help.

Here at Leyton Foot Clinic our podiatrists are trained in the use of acupuncture as a form of treatment for a variety of different injuries and disorders affecting the foot and lower limb. What is acupuncture? Acupuncture is the term used to describe a treatment method which involves stimulating specific anatomical points over thebody using sterile acupuncture needles. This stimulation of anatomical “trigger points” across areas of the body including the foot and lower limb, can work to reduce the painful symptoms associated with a variety of different podiatry related conditions. How does acupuncture work? There are two main systems of belief which are typically considered regarding the way in which acupuncture works. They are: Chinese Approach – this uses a theory based on the flow of energy through the body. Using various methods to stimulate specific points across the body acupuncture works to regulate this flow of energy allowing equilibrium to be restored, helping to alleviate pain and reduce muscle spasms. Western Approach – this uses knowledge based on scientific evidence of the body in relation to anatomy and neuro-physiology. Specific trigger points are selected across various anatomical sites in order to stimulate the release of substances within the body that are effective at blocking pain and relieving muscle spams. Both of these approaches can be interlinked to enable the body to self-regulate and reduce the unwanted symptoms of a condition. Podiatrist mainly use the Western Approach. What podiatry related conditions can acupuncture help with? Acupuncture is a useful and effective management tool in podiatry. It can be used to treat a range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the foot and lower limb, such as: Metatarsalgia / Forefoot pain Bunion pain Hallux limitus/ rigidus Heel pain / planter fasciitis Painful arches Achilles tendinopathy Knee pain – patella femoral Painful scars to the feet / legs Morton’s neuroma Painful calves Shin splints How does acupuncture work to treat and prevent musculoskeletal injuries and disorders? Acupuncture works to treat musculoskeletal problems of the foot and lower limb in the following three ways: By stimulating the release of endorphins which are the body’s own natural pain relieving hormones By causing a localised vasodilation of blood vessels which increases the circulation around the affected area. An increased blood supply encourages the removal of waste products which have accumulated in the area, these waste products are what causesthe pain and discomfort associated with abnormally functioning tissues By relaxing stiff muscles and tendons and encouraging the growth of bone and tissues What are the benefits of acupuncture for musculoskeletal conditions of the foot and lower limb? The following are some of the benefits of using acupuncture in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems affecting the foot and lower limb: Eliminates the need for pharmaceutical and/or surgical intervention It is a safe and effective form of treatment when carried out correctly It can be used to effectively reduce pain levels It can sometimes be considered for patients who haven’t responded to medications for pain Similar treatments/services that could help? Stretching and strengthening exercises Taping mechanisms Heat therapy Foot mobilisation techniques Orthoses intervention How many treatments are needed? The number of treatments varies from person to person for complex or long-standing conditions, one or two treatments a week for several weeks may be recommended. For acute problems, usually fewer visits are required, and for health maintenance, four sessions a year may be all that is necessary. Most people need between 3 to 8 treatments, and some people need to return for regular “top up” treatments every few months. Is Acupuncture safe? and what are the side effects? Provided patients are under the care of a medical practitioner or a specialist podiatrist, chiropractor or osteopath; all trained in western medicine, acupuncture does seem to be a very safe treatment. Some patients may experience bruising, may feel faint, or may feel very tired following treatment. However, acupuncture has fewer side effects than many drug treatments and most people experience no problems at all. Do I have to believe in acupuncture for it to work? No. Acupuncture is used successfully by veterinarians on cats, horses and other animals. These animals do not understand or believe in the process that makes them better. Belief in the therapy is not a factor that will influence the outcome of the treatment. A positive attitude toward wellness may reinforce the effects of the treatment received, just as a negative attitude may hinder the effects of acupuncture or any other treatment. Why choose a Podiatrist? Podiatrists work in close conjunction with GP’s, Consultants and other health care professionals. They have undergone a 3 or 4 year degree in western medicine before embarking on further acupuncture training as a post-graduate level. Podiatrists are bound by a strict professional and ethical code. In Summary: Acupuncture is safe & virtually painless. Acupuncture works naturally with little or no side effects. Acupuncture stimulates the body to help itself Podiatrists work closely with your GP. To compliment podiatrists wide scope of practice many podiatrists now use acupuncture. Podiatrists use single use; disposable needles. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/treatments/biomechanics/rocktape-strapping/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Have you ever seen that brightly coloured or patterned tape that athletes seem to be wearing a lot nowadays? That tape is called ‘kinesiology’ tape. Professional athletes wearing Kinesiology taping at sporting events to reduce the risk of injury, support an existing injury and even reduce the pain of those injuries. Despite this sports orientated usage the benefits of taping cover a wide array of conditions depending on the areas and techniques applied: Assisting pain relief in sore or injured muscles The reduction of swelling and inflammation Posture control to help reduce the impact of ‘learned behaviours’ Encourage the normal behaviour of muscle groups To support the rehabilitation of new and chronic injuries Several conditions in the lower limb stand out as clear candidates for improvement via the use of ‘rock taping’ including Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis and general knee pain. Injuries such as ankle sprains causing swelling can be significantly improved with Kinesiology taping. So whether you are a professional sports person or somebody with a chronic injury that will not completely heal, these modern taping techniques can help. Kinesiology taping is different from conventional taping which is non-elastic to provide rigid support and reduce motion, instead Kinesiology tape has unique elastic properties allowing support, providing safe movement and can be worn for much longer periods of time. What is Rocktape? Rocktape is a leading brand in Kinesiology taping and it’s unique unidirectional stretch pattern won’t reduce your range of motion, promoting safe movement not restriction. There is a variety of tape brands, but the most widely known and our brand of choice is Rocktape; Our Podiatrists have completed their Kinesiology qualification courses to become certified ‘Rock Docs’. We recommend Rocktape because: It has a stronger adhesive than other kinesiology tapes to stay on during intense, prolonged exercise, swimming, showering or bathing. It is extra durable due to nylon reinforcement. It offers greater elasticity than other kinesiology tapes (190% vs 140%). Most applications can be worn up to 5 days. RockTape is a special type of kinesiology tape that is almost twice as stretchy as standard kinesiology tape. It is an adhesive, hypoallergenic, latex free tape– suitable for even sensitive skin. Unlike standard tape – which is used around joints and ligaments to restrict movement, RockTape is stretchy and is used to allow full movement of the taped area. Benefits of RockTape Reduces pain – RockTape affects the pain pathways in our bodies by acting on the nerve endings and pain receptors in our skin that surround an injured area. Reduces local swelling and inflammation – RockTape ‘lifts’ the skin to increase the space between the layers. This increases blood flow to the skin and also encourages the by-products created by inflammation to be removed. Improves endurance – RockTape recruits the power of soft tissues surrounding injured or tired muscles so that the workload of the muscles is shared. This helps to reduce muscle fatigue during activity as well as rehabilitation post-exercise. Normalizes muscle tone – RockTape activates dormant or weak muscles and assists in developing normal strength and tone of all muscles to improve overall coordination and strength. This assists injured muscles in their recovery, as well as reducing the risk of injury. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/home/foot-scan-technology/ --- Foot Scan Technology - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic has joined forces with Edser Labs to produce high-quality orthotics with the use of their 3d laser scanner Leyton Foot Clinic3 subscribers EdserScan 3D Light Laser system uses leading technology to create a highly accurate digital 3D model of the plantar surface (sole).

It can be used in the knee, or in any of the other joints in the body that are classified as synovial. What is a Synovial Joint? A synovial joint is one in which the ends of the bones are enclosed in a capsule containing a thick, slippery liquid called synovial fluid. The bone ends are covered in a smooth layer of a tough, rubbery substance called cartilage. The synovial fluid helps protect the cartilage from wear and tear by keeping the bones slightly apart and by acting as a shock absorber and lubricant. It also acts as a filter, letting nutrients reach the cartilage, but blocking the passage of harmful cells and substances. What is Hyaluronic Acid? The most important component of synovial fluid is a substance called hyaluronic acid. It is this substance that allows the synovial fluid to perform its cartilage saving properties. Hyaluronic acid is continuously broken down and replaced. Normally, there is an exact balance between the breakdown of old hyaluronic acid and the production of new hyaluronic acid. In osteoarthritis, however, this balance is disturbed and breakdown happens faster than production. As a result, the synovial fluid becomes watery and stops working properly. As a result the cartilage in the joint gradually wears away. The thinning of the synovial fluid and wearing away of the cartilage leads to symptoms of osteoarthritis, which include pain, stiffness and swelling. What are Ostenil injections? Ostenil injections are used by our podiatrists here at Leyton Foot Clinic to treat a condition of the big toe joint called hallux limitus. Hallux limitus is an osteoarthritic condition that affects the big toe joint, which leads to limited movement, pain and inflammation. NOTE: Our Podiatrists are also qualified to inject the knee, and help you eradicate the pain from osteoarthritis of the knee joint. Ostenil Injections contain an ingredient called hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid helps to restore synovial joints that have been affected by osteoarthritis. The big toe joint is a synovial joint. Synovial joints are the most moveable joints in the body. Synovial joints produce a fluid called synovium, which lubricates the joint and allows it to be highly mobile. Synovium contains a very important ingredient called hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is the component of synovium that enables it to perform four key functions: It acts as a shock absorber for the cartilage in between the joint It protects against wear and tear of the cartilage by keeping the bones slightly apart It provides lubrication to the joint It is a filter that allows in nutrients but blocks out anything harmful When a person has osteoarthritis of the big toe joint the synovium is broken down faster than it is re-produced, it therefore stops working. Ostenil injections aim to replace the lost synovium and therefore improve pain, inflammation and movement. How do Ostenil injections work? Ostenil injections work by re-placing the synovial fluid that is lost through the process of osteoarthritis; the key ingredient in synovium is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is the ingredient in synovium that enables the synovial joints to work properly. Ostenil injections contain hyaluronic acid, which is injected directly into the joint space of the big toe so that the lost fluid can be replaced. The result of Ostenil injections at the big toe joint is a reduction in pain and inflammation and an increase in movement. Benefit of Ostenil injections? The benefits of Ostenil injections for the treatment of hallux limitus (an osteoarthritis condition of the big toe joint) include: Decrease in pain Improvement in joint mobility Freedom from osteoarthritis Decrease in inflammation Quick and simple procedure Results may last for several months Who is suitable for Ostenil injections? Ostenil injections are suitable for people who have hallux limitus. Hallux limitus is an osteoarthritic condition that affects the big toe joint. The result of hallux limitus is pain, inflammation and limited movement at the big toe joint. As Ostenil is a prescribed medication a thorough history will need to be obtained prior to any injection taking place. If you are not suitable for the injection this will be discussed in the assessment. Those who may not be suitable for Ostenil injections include: Pregnant and lactating women Children People with an inflammatory condition (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis) Ostenil is a solution containing hyaluronic acid. It is injected into the space in the joint that contains synovial fluid and works by restoring the normal balance between the breakdown and production of hyaluronic acid. This effect of Ostenil means that it can decrease pain and stiffness and improve the other symptoms of osteoarthritis. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/treatments/injection-therapy/dermal-filler/ --- Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Dermal fillers are treatments which involve injecting a substance known as hyaluronic acid underneath the balls of the feet to provide relief from pain. What are dermal fillers? Dermal fillers are injections which are introduced into the balls of the feet to provide relief from pain and reduce discomfort underneath the foot. When the foot is in a standing position the metatarsal heads located around the ball of the foot are protected by a structure known as the fibro-fatty pad. As a person ages this fibro-fatty pad diminishes, meaning the additional pressure which is placed on the feet during standing causes greater discomfort. This discomfort is increased when wearing high heeled shoes however it can be a problem even in flat shoes. During the procedure local anaesthetic is injected into the area so that no pain is experienced when the fillers are being introduced. What podiatry related conditions can dermal fillers help with? Dermal fillers can be to provide pressure relief and reduce the levels of pain associated with the following conditions; Ball of foot pain due to diminished fat pad or prominent metatarsal heads (toes) Painful corns How do dermal fillers work? Dermal fillers can be used in two ways; Cushioning – dermal fillers can work by providing additional cushioning into the balls of the feet. Dermal fillers are made up of a natural sugar known as hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is produced naturally within the body and has many purposes, one of which is producing a ‘plumping’ effect in the area it is introduced. It attracts and binds to water hydrating the skin and giving it volume. Treatment for corns – dermal fillers can be used to provide relief from pain caused by corns. Corns are concentrated areas of hard skin which can be the result of excessive pressure. Injecting hyaluronic acid underneath the painful corn provides extra cushioning, reducing the amount of pressure the area is subjected to and preventing the corn from recurring. What are the benefits of dermal fillers? There are many benefits associated with using dermal fillers as a method of pain relief in podiatry including; Provides an alternative to surgery and the use of medicated pain killers The results can be long-lasting Provides relief from painful symptoms and discomfort Increases mobility Improves patient well-being --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/back-to-school-in-florence/ --- Back-To-School in Florence - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Back-To-School in Florence So I’ve just got back from Florence, just in time for the back-to-school rush – but what wonderful sights I saw on my trip: architecture, museums, countryside and not forgetting The Statue of David – if you have not seen it, then make an effort to go – it’s really breath-taking.

Our Podiatrists at Leyton Foot Clinic recommend Contrast Footbaths; a technique to improve blood flow around the muscles of the foot. What are Contrast Footbaths? Simplistically speaking, get two bowls of water. One with hot water, hot as you can withstand. The other bowl has cold water. Each bowl has the enough water to cover the foot upto the ankle. Take a seat, kick off your shoes and socks, place both bowls in front of you, do the following: Put both feet into the hot water for one minute. Swing them into the cold water for 30 seconds. Swing them back into hot water for one minute. Swing them back into the cold water for 30 seconds. Finally swing them back into hot water for one minute. Put on a pair of thin socks, followed by a pair of thick socks – your feet should be cosy. Logical Rationale: in hot water, the blood vessels dilate (open up and let blood into the vessels) in cold water, the blood vessels constrict (close down and force the blood along the vessel) Thus the blood flow improves by making the muscles around the blood vessels become more responsive to temperature changes making them dilate/constrict faster. If you do this daily, from October onwards – you shouldn’t have cold feet that winter.

Foot Mobilisation Technique (FMT) is relatively new within the podiatry profession, however mobilisation in general has been used by Chiropractors and Osteopaths for decades, however it has never been used exclusively to treat chronic foot conditions, which is what makes FMT so unique with only a few clinics practising FMT in the UK currently. Foot Mobilisation Techniques ‘FMT’ are a proven treatment solution, that uses the ‘hands-on’ techniques of joint mobilisation and manipulation, combined with corrective exercises, to fix the cause of foot, heel, ankle, leg, knee, hip & back pain and without the need for shoe inserts (orthotics), surgery or medication. The focus of foot manipulation techniques is to provide long lasting improvements to foot and leg problems. This gentle and painless technique stimulates the body’s inherent desire to repair & restore itself. Foot Mobilisation has its roots in manipulative therapy, which is a long established technique widely used by the physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathic professions. Even if you currently use orthotics or insoles FMT can improve overall foot function. For some women, wearing an orthotic device is not an option, because of their footwear, so FMT is a perfect treatment alternative to orthotics. Podiatrists at Leyton Foot Clinic are qualified in a specific foot mobilisation technique which works to put the bones of the foot and lower leg back to their ‘right’ position and allow the foot to work as nature intended. As we continually load the foot over the years, the bones of our feet move into different positions, this places different demands on the tendons that attach into these bones, and subsequently alters the activity of muscles. This imbalance of muscle, tendon and joint activity is why injuries happen, and why some struggle to rehab after an injury. This foot mobilisation technique positions the bones back to their correct positions and allows everything else to work better, reducing injury risk, reducing pain and improving performance. What are foot mobilisation techniques (FMT)? Simply put foot mobilisation techniques are a series of movements that are performed on the feet that address any joint ‘stiffness’ that is caused by the way the foot functions. Foot mobilisation techniques involve making small movements of joints within the foot that the therapists finds during examination. The stiffness come from soft tissue (tendons, ligaments, joint capsule and other connecting tissues) restrictions that can occur due to the foot being held (by function) into a certain position. The joint restriction can feel as if it is a bony block but this is rarely the case. There are often ‘adhesions’ which are soft tissues that become stuck down or bound together and so do not move easily by or over each other but become fixed. The joint becomes poorly aligned and the soft tissues that support the joint change and adapt to this new position. Soft tissues always adapt to their shortest functional length – and this can happen very quickly. Therefore if the foot is functioning by continuing to pronate and so stays flat during the whole of the stance phase then the bones and soft tissues will adapt to this position. This will then become the ‘normal’ position of the foot with regards to position and function. When would you benefit from a session or course of FMT? Pain is the most usual presentation. This pain is often hard to diagnose and there can be a sporadic nature of the presentation – it is ok one day and not the next, etc. There is often no real cause or sometimes pain will linger long after a trauma, such as an ankle sprain that should have healed. Often the pain is difficult to describe and can vary from a sharp acute pain for a brief period to a dull ache that is a bit annoying. Sometimes patients present with a sensation that something just does not feel right, feet feel flat or they do not seem to function as they used to. There may be a sensation of stiffness or heaviness when walking or running, a restriction of movement or a pain at a certain point in the stance phase of your gait cycle. During activity you may be ok but a discomfort comes on following increased activity levels. People often comment that they seem to have lost the spring in their step. What happens at the assessment? The podiatrist will take a full history of the problem you are presenting with and ask you various questions to get an understanding of the nature of your problem and any other information that may be of use. On examination the podiatrist will palpate (press) into certain areas of your feet and move the small individual joints that are in the feet. They may find painful areas when pressed or a restriction or poor alignment of a joint. The joint may be painful when examined and when the therapist tries to move the joint can become increasingly painful. Sometimes the movement is painful when the joint is moved in a certain direction but not in another direction. This will sometimes indicate the direction the treatment will need to take. The podiatrist would aim to identify which structures are causing the pain and try to establish a cause why this has happened. They may examine other areas of your feet, to check alignment, the way the foot moves, what happens you stand on it and what happens when you walk on it. The treatment then consists of the podiatrist addressing the movement in the joints in your feet and ankles. This will involve you either sitting or lying on your front to enable the podiatrist to address the problems found. Some of the movements can be uncomfortable and there may be popping or cracking of the joint. This is a change in joint pressure rather than bone moving on bone and is not damaging to the joints. Your feet may be strapped after treatment, and exercises given to do at home. FMT works best with a short intensive course of treatment and we would usually see you for 3-4 weeks and then look at extending treatments as your foot becomes used to working in a new alignment. There may be a case of using orthoses to support your feet and function in its new alignment. There may also be ongoing exercises to reinforce a new movement pattern. OUTCOME OF FMT: Hands-on healing through joint mobilisation and corrective exercises stimulate your body’s natural repair systems. Each visit will promote the following restoration processes: Improve mobility by breaking up adhesions and restrictions around the joints Improve postural stability by stimulating the body’s proprioceptive (balancing) system Improve muscle strength by invigorating the nerve messages sent from the brain to the relevant muscles Reduce the ‘pain messages’ sent to the brain by stimulating the joint While the treatment only takes a few minutes, the above listed effects last for 48-72 hours. Repeated consistently, the effects will continue to last longer and longer. CONDITIONS TREATABLE WITH FMT: Foot Mobilisation treats the following common foot problems along with many others: Heel Pain Bunions Arch Pain Numbness in your toes Metatarsalgia Ankle Pain Shin Splints Sesamoiditis Achilles tendonitis Cuboid Syndrome Ankle sprains and instability Osteoarthritis Flat feet Morton’s neuroma Musculoskeletal injuries Improving orthotic therapy outcomes It’s important to know that FMT is not a ‘quick fix’ treatment option, even though most patients do report feeling much better after their first treatment. This euphoric feeling occurs because FMT releases pressure that has built up within the small joints of the foot and ankle, therefore giving an immediate feeling of relief. Proper FMT treatment involves a number of treatment sessions over a couple of weeks and then additional ongoing care based on the symptoms of the patient. The practice of FMT is a specifically developed form of manual therapy aimed at improving your foot and leg functionality. FMT targets joints of your foot and ankle, which may be stiff, poorly aligned or dysfunctional, and aims to restore the way they work gradually. This is achieved via a series of hands-on treatment sessions in conjunction with a specific exercise regime that we prescribe for you. Where did FMT originate? Used extensively in the areas of physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathy, FMT originated from a type of treatment called manipulative therapy. Foot mobilisation techniques have evolved from combining the podiatric biomechanical understanding of foot and leg function with the manual therapeutic experience of physiotherapy and chiropractic. Dr John Martin Hiss from North America was the pioneer of manipulative techniques for feet and ankles. With the help of a collaborative team of MDs, osteopaths, podiatrists and chiropractors, Dr Hiss set up clinics across the US in the 1920s to treat foot pain. A student of Dr Hiss, Dr Harvey Lampell further refined the technique and taught the improved version to Ted Jedynak. Jedynak worked extensively with Lampell before refining the technique still further and introducing FMT to Australia. At Leyton Foot Clinic, our podiatrists have been taught by Ted Jedynak to learn these techniques. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/product/fusesecnt-argan-oil/ --- FuseSecnt Argan Oil - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Fuse Scent Pure Argan Oil for Face, Hair, Skin and Nails 120ml Virgin Cold-Pressed Natural Moroccan Moisturiser with Hydrating Antioxidants and Anti-Aging Vitamin E REVITALISING MOROCCAN ARGAN OIL – This pure, cold-pressed natural Argan Oil is formulated to help hydrate hair, moisturise skin, strengthen nails, and reduce the signs of aging while fighting oxidative stress to keep you looking young and radiant SOFTER, SUPPLER, AND FIRMER SKIN – Applied to the face and neck our top quality hydrating Argan Oil of Morocco can strengthen your skin to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by smoothing your skin with Vitamin E and rejuvenating omega fatty acids REPAIR AND PROTECT HAIR ROOT TO TIP – Our authentic Argan Oil for hair hydration can help reduce dryness and revitalise colour balance while minimizing breakage or split ends.

That’s great for your health, but it’s also exactly when foot problems start to appear! 👣 Why foot pain increases in April (Podiatrist in Leyton POV) At Leyton Foot Clinic, April is one of busiest months — and it’s not a coincidence. We regularly see patients from Leyton, Stratford and the surrounding areas who say the same thing: “I’ve just started walking more … and now my foot hurts.” It usually starts off small. A bit of heel pain when you get out of bed. A tight feeling under the arch after a longer walk. An ache that wasn’t there a couple of weeks ago. It doesn’t feel serious at first, but clinically, it tells us one thing straight away: your feet are under more load than they’re used to. If you’re already noticing symptoms like this, it’s worth reading more about heel pain treatment in Leyton and how early intervention can help. 🧠 What’s actually happening inside your feet Your feet do a lot more work than you realise! Every step you take involves absorbing your body weight, keeping you balanced, and pushing you forward. When you suddenly increase your activity — even just by walking more — the stress going through your feet increases significantly. If that increase happens gradually, your body adapts. If it happens too quickly, your tissues don’t get time to adjust. That’s when irritation begins … and pain follows. This is one of the most common reasons we see foot pain in Leyton during spring. If you’re unsure what’s causing your discomfort, a routine podiatry assessment can quickly identify the issue. 🏃‍♂️ What the London Marathon gets right Marathon runners don’t just wake up and run 26.2 miles. They build up slowly over time. They wear the right footwear. And they deal with small problems early — before they become bigger ones. That’s what protects their feet. Most people don’t do this. They go from being less active in winter to suddenly walking a lot more in April — often without thinking about how their feet are coping, and that’s when problems begin. ⚠️ Early signs you shouldn’t ignore One of the biggest mistakes we see is people waiting until the pain becomes severe before doing anything about it. In reality, your body usually gives you warning signs first: That sharp heel pain in the morning. A pulling feeling under the arch. A sore spot that keeps coming back after walking. These aren’t random aches. 👉 they’re early signs of overload. Catch them early, and they’re much easier to deal with. If you’re noticing pressure or thickened areas of skin, it may also be worth exploring corn removal and hard skin treatment in Leyton before it becomes painful. 👟 The most common cause we see at Leyton Foot Clinic — footwear If there’s one thing that repeatedly contributes to foot pain, it’s footwear. We often see people walking more, but still wearing worn-out trainers or unsupportive shoes. Walking around Stratford or commuting across East London puts repeated pressure through the feet. Without proper support, that pressure builds up over time. That’s when we start to see problems like heel pain, pressure in the forefoot, hard skin, and general fatigue. Supportive footwear doesn’t just make walking more comfortable, but it reduces stress on your feet with every step. If you’re unsure what footwear is right for you, our podiatry advice and assessment service in Leyton can guide you. 🏥 How a podiatrist in Leyton can help Many people think they should only see a podiatrist when the pain becomes severe. But the earlier we assess a problem, the easier it is to treat. At Leyton Foot Clinic, we focus on finding the cause of your foot pain — not just managing the symptoms. Sometimes it’s a simple treatment. Sometimes it’s small changes that prevent things getting worse. Either way, the goal is always the same: to keep you moving comfortably. 🌿 Moving more in Leyton and Stratford — the smart way Living in East London gives you great places to stay active. Areas like Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, along with local parks in Leyton and Leytonstone, are perfect for increasing your steps this April. Just don’t rush it. Build up gradually, let your body adapt, and stay consistent. Moving more should make you feel better — not limit you. 📍 When should you see a podiatrist? If your feet are starting to feel uncomfortable, it’s worth getting them checked sooner rather than later. Pain that lasts more than a few days, keeps coming back, or starts affecting how you walk is usually a sign something needs attention. Leaving it often means longer recovery and more disruption. Early assessment keeps things simple — especially when addressed with a professional podiatrist in Leyton. ✅ Book a podiatrist in Leyton today If you’ve been inspired by the London Marathon and started moving more this April, but your feet aren’t keeping up… 👉 don’t wait for it to get worse. Getting the right advice early can make all the difference. Book your appointment at Leyton Foot Clinic today and stay active, comfortable, and moving well this spring.

A: Because your feet haven’t had time to adapt to the increase in activity, which puts extra strain on the tissues. Q: Is heel pain normal when walking more? A: No — it’s common, but it’s usually an early warning sign of overload. Q: When should I see a podiatrist in Leyton? A: If pain lasts more than a few days or keeps coming back, it’s best to get it checked early. --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/product-category/rehab-tools/ --- Rehab Tools Archives - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic ­ felt – 5mm Felt – 7mm Nail Cutters Plantar Fascitiis Ball Pumice Stone Trigger Point Ball Yoga Toes --- https://www.leytonfootclinic.co.uk/tag/kids-shoes/ --- kids shoes Archives - Leyton Foot Clinic Leyton Foot Clinic Back-To-School in Florence So I’ve just got back from Florence, just in time for the back-to-school rush – but what wonderful sights I saw on my trip: architecture, museums, countryside and not forgetting The Statue of David – if you have not seen it, then make an effort to go – it’s really breath-taking.

Do you know how to tie your laces to your foot type while you are exercising? Just as exercise is important for health – tying your laces, for your foot shape, is equally important to ensure a good fit and support of your foot by your trainers. Properly fitted trainers will prevent you from having an injury, and help you to have a pain free exercise regime – whether it be running, gym or weight etc While in this Viral Pandemic Lockdown, everyone has listened to the guidelines and ventured out for essential things e.g. exercise, shopping and medications. This lockdown has seen an increase in people taking up running as their one form of exercise; thus increasing the stress on feet. Podiatrists have had calls from people who are experiencing heel, calf, shin, arch or ball of foot pain. Some may require rehabilitation advice from the podiatrist – namely stretching and strengthening exercises – but there are others that may have their issues resolved by simply tying their laces to accommodate their foot type e.g. wide feet, high arch, bunion, heel slippage. Each pair of feet are unique, which is why using the right lacing technique will matter in your running performance; to relieve the foot fatigue or nagging pain by adjusting the laces right. Runners lacing techniques are basic to master. They can help you or fail you depending on the lacing material; the number of holes; the type of knot you use to secure the laces; Despite being a minor issue, getting the lacing perfect will make a big difference in the overall comfort and support of your shoes. The video below, will show you how to alter your lacing method to accommodate a unique foot condition. If one lace method doesn’t work, try another or even be creative and combine methods.

Your feet have just absorbed thousands of impacts — so now they need care, not neglect. Simple recovery tips 👇 • Get your shoes off and check your feet (blisters, nail trauma, hot spots) • Elevate your feet to reduce swelling • Gentle movement > total rest (keep blood flow going) • Rehydrate properly — muscles and tissues need it • Don’t ignore pain that lingers beyond a few days That “I’ll just leave it” approach?

Protect what you’ve got.” The biggest mistakes we see in clinic every year before race day: - Trying new shoes - Wearing fresh, untested socks - Cutting nails too short or “tidying things up” - Over-stretching or over-walking the day before 👉 These don’t help — they increase your risk of blisters, nail trauma, and pain mid-race ✅ What to do instead Keep it simple and controlled: - Wear what you’ve already trained in (Shoes + socks your feet already trust) - Prep known problem areas only (Light taping or blister plasters where you know you rub) - Trim nails ONLY if needed (And don’t cut too short — that’s how nail pain starts) - Rest > “last-minute prep” (Feet should feel calm, not irritated) - Hydrate + elevate (Swelling control starts before race morning) At this stage, it’s not about improving performance… 👉 It’s about reducing risk Because most marathon foot problems aren’t random — they’re predictable and preventable.

Stormtrooper White boots: rigid footwear, marching all day, blisters incoming. This is the problem with being "Tony the podiatrist" online. Everyone else sees sci-fi fun. I see footwear choices that need a serious chat. So if your feet are feeling more Dark Side than Jedi, don’t wait for them to strike back.

Studies show elite golfers can stand on one leg longer — and control movement better through their feet. That’s what allows: ✔ smoother swings ✔ better control ✔ reduced injury risk But here’s the important part … Balance starts in the feet. If your feet aren’t stable: 👉 your body compensates 👉 your risk of falls increases 👉 movement becomes less efficient We see this beyond sport — especially as people get older.

Your feet are working harder than you think. Golf looks calm … but physically, it’s demanding. Players walk long distances, repeatedly bend, twist and load their lower limbs. Research shows golf can improve: ✔ balance ✔ walking ability ✔ lower limb strength But here’s the catch … If your feet aren’t functioning well: 👉 that load builds up 👉 small issues become injuries - Heel pain. Arch strain. Joint overload. We see this when activity increases — especially in spring. Thinking of moving more this April?

When people think of Parkinson’s, they think of tremors. But one of the biggest changes we see in clinic … is in the way people walk: - Shorter steps. - Shuffling gait. - More pressure through certain parts of the foot. Over time, this can lead to: • painful hard skin • nail changes • balance issues • increased risk of falls It’s not just neurological. It’s mechanical too. That’s where podiatry plays a role — helping reduce pressure, improve stability, and keep you moving safely. 📍 At Leyton Foot Clinic, we regularly support patients with complex foot and gait changes. 👉 If walking feels different, don’t ignore it. #LeytonFootClinic #ParkinsonsAwareness #FootHealth #EastLondonPodiatry #BalanceMatters #HealthyFeet #LeytonLondon #BeTheChange Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,ParkinsonsAwareness,FootHealth,EastLondonPodiatry,BalanceMatters,HealthyFeet,LeytonLondon,BeTheChange Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-lga3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/670874548_18315876784262381_2773502231203295701_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gHnmRCN0bXgNdQqr3ElXZXHAFdAOUAI2kGlfbjO9Mbt6iV3v63Bs2jfGaX1IeGQMEs&_nc_ohc=vJ_Jn4RQQ3oQ7kNvwGBpjLc&_nc_gid=hO30us0ZX-usMR2UyK2nig&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af7OqHxnQU6yKQc1wq6brggYReke-4maTDKwCWk-yaTryw&oe=69FE47B4&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DW-ztxxlXQV/ --- [2026-04-03T06:30:35.000Z] Image Caption: 👣 Clue 1… You’ve DEFINITELY seen her - Red carpet regular. - Effortlessly stylish. - Known for that classic, understated look rather than loud trends.

Because after all this training, the goal isn’t just to finish … 👉 It’s to finish strong, comfortable, and pain-free 📍 Training in Leyton, Stratford or East London this Easter? 👉 Now is the perfect time to get your feet checked before race day. 👉 Book your pre-marathon foot check this week (Think of it as your Easter gift to your future self) #HappyEaster #LondonMarathon #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonRunners #MarathonTraining #RunPainFree #EasterRun #StratfordLondon #Leyton Hashtags: HappyEaster,LondonMarathon,LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonRunners,MarathonTraining,RunPainFree,EasterRun,StratfordLondon,Leyton Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-phl2-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/658526655_18315175795262381_3734941636311432117_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-phl2-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gEDhHLRGFaVnbBLRipUxIENKlhf4KwMIx6ZqnX8gOP-TEySgd5incpxw3PuTjGtEAE&_nc_ohc=ZqLkQldMa50Q7kNvwHw8QaL&_nc_gid=etjCIwOPPRSvRklBoiLiGw&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af787yebv-uhp5IuUyyEjv62GN7nAopAbSGyIfh3EGKVkg&oe=69FE44B7&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWvW7y0FdPV/ --- [2026-04-10T06:30:15.000Z] Image Caption: 👀 Clue 2… This should narrow it down and read clue 1 last friday - She became a household name from a teen drama that defined a generation 📺 - And later… married one of the most famous actors in the world.

Walking supports your circulation, joints and overall wellbeing — but when your feet are sore, stiff or uncomfortable, it quickly becomes something you avoid. We see this regularly in clinic. People want to move more … but their feet are holding them back. Often, it’s something small: a bit of pressure, early heel pain, or footwear that’s no longer doing its job.

Today is World Water Day, and it’s the perfect reminder that water plays a surprising role in the health of your feet. Each foot contains around 125,000 sweat glands, meaning together your feet can produce up to half a pint of moisture a day. That natural moisture helps regulate temperature — but when it becomes trapped in socks and shoes, it can also create the warm, damp conditions where fungal infections like athlete’s foot thrive. This is why podiatrists often recommend simple habits like: • letting feet dry properly after washing • changing socks regularly • wearing breathable footwear Small routines like these help keep skin healthy and comfortable. At Leyton Foot Clinic we often remind patients that healthy feet start with healthy skin — and moisture balance is part of that. 💧 A little awareness today can prevent a lot of discomfort later. #WorldWaterDay #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatry #FootHealthFacts #HealthyFeetLondon Hashtags: WorldWaterDay,LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatry,FootHealthFacts,HealthyFeetLondon Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://instagram.fsac1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.82787-15/657152653_18313191655262381_5395396574719802808_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=instagram.fsac1-2.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gGBfMRMRcL4M2GNPOHqIV3IeP_V9L-v1nWmCG-nfJtPkIpfHVpDCOP3mD_1LFqUOds&_nc_ohc=9Ryfq7m4qa4Q7kNvwHsVF9x&_nc_gid=sKrKb8yDBXY1_d6qh0DJdA&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af7ZyIqMr0UYye1iNEW_5tT5HW_P3it4y6_YlDhxTjshXA&oe=69FE4680&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWLarM0FX_d/ --- [2026-03-27T07:30:44.000Z] Sidecar Caption: That sharp heel pain you felt this morning? 👀 It starts small… But if you ignore it, it can stop you walking comfortably around Leyton & Stratford.

Some traditions suggested that brief periods of walking backwards could change how pressure travelled across the foot. The idea was that altering the natural direction of movement might redistribute load away from areas where corns commonly develop. Modern biomechanics shows that pressure patterns in the foot are complex — which makes it fascinating that ancient observers were already experimenting with movement in this way. Were they noticing genuine changes in pressure… or simply exploring new ways to ease discomfort? 📍 Leyton Foot Clinic | Serving Leyton & Stratford 💻 Professional podiatry assessments available via link in bio #LeytonFootClinic #FootBiomechanics #CornReliefLondon #EastLondonFeet #FootcareTraditions Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,FootBiomechanics,CornReliefLondon,EastLondonFeet,FootcareTraditions Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/657172125_18313725148262381_8632589472885610770_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gGtU3VwpeuSIrx5U8sjfujSYtr-sShG8Z9HwYs2_i8jYuml9ZsKgGP67N605o33mwQ&_nc_ohc=p4AYEbzbYdUQ7kNvwEH2z0U&_nc_gid=SjclpCpRAslNuNOBz2dA9A&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af5R2kbRiAinIySQThutAEchmaQXgRzZjCu9tqycVJ6WTQ&oe=69FE2289&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWTJEgfkc44/ --- [2026-03-23T07:30:32.000Z] Image Caption: 👣 A new week begins — how will your feet feel by Friday? Every Monday is a fresh start. New plans, new routines, and plenty of steps ahead. Your feet will carry you through thousands of movements this week — walking to work, standing in queues, climbing stairs, or enjoying time outdoors. When your feet feel comfortable, life moves more easily. But small problems such as heel pain, thick nails, corns or hard skin can slowly build up over time and begin to affect how you walk. A professional podiatry check can help keep your feet healthy, balanced and comfortable so you can move through the week with confidence.

Today is World Down Syndrome Day — and the colourful mismatched socks you see everywhere represent chromosomes, celebrating the uniqueness of people with Down syndrome. From a podiatry perspective, there’s an important foot-health fact too. Research shows that many people with Down syndrome have lower muscle tone (hypotonia) and more flexible ligaments, which means flat feet are very common. Because the arch is less supported, the feet can tire more easily and may need extra care, supportive footwear, or podiatry advice to stay comfortable. At Leyton Foot Clinic we believe everyone deserves comfortable, supported feet — and small things like the right footwear, orthotic advice, and routine foot care can make a big difference to mobility and confidence. Today is a reminder that every step matters — for every person. 💙 If you’re wearing colourful socks today, you’re part of a global message of inclusion. #WorldDownSyndromeDay #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatry #LotsOfSocks #FootHealthForEveryone Hashtags: WorldDownSyndromeDay,LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatry,LotsOfSocks,FootHealthForEveryone Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/656287769_18312838780262381_8803805526101327301_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-lax7-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gG3uTRD1aTkR3N7mMZSjclS_Zw9nzsA1e9UzfC9fzATam3CQ9MLsqmC1A5fylogics&_nc_ohc=ZbZLoSV5vAkQ7kNvwGP9PY5&_nc_gid=lQJ1q1IanNAlHzglORUVvA&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af5_kbPtcfeIF9_XQM4p-ChSnM7SUrMXeGzx1WFbDn2sjA&oe=69FE195D&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWI14zTFZbV/ --- [2026-03-19T19:04:17.000Z] Image Caption: 🌙 Eid Mubarak from Leyton Foot Clinic Wishing our wonderful community in Leyton, Stratford and across East London a joyful and peaceful Eid.

Your feet might be the real heroes. Post St Patrick’s Day is a day full of celebrations, walking, dancing and spending time with friends. But while everyone is searching for four-leaf clovers, your feet are quietly doing all the hard work — taking thousands of steps throughout the day. Many people don’t realise that the average person walks around 5,000–7,000 steps a day, and on busy celebration days it can be much more. When feet are under extra pressure, small problems like hard skin, nail discomfort or heel pain often start to appear. At Leyton Foot Clinic we see this all the time — feet that have been working hard but haven’t had the care they deserve.

Many foot problems don’t start with an injury. They begin with tiny changes in how the foot moves while walking. When a foot becomes slightly stiff or uncomfortable, people often adjust their walking pattern without realising it. Over time this shifts pressure to other areas of the foot, ankle and even the knee. This is why podiatrists often assess gait, pressure distribution and foot biomechanics during an appointment. Understanding how your foot moves can reveal the true cause of ongoing discomfort. 📍 Professional podiatry care at Leyton Foot Clinic Serving Leyton, Stratford & East London. 👉 If walking feels uneven or uncomfortable, a professional assessment can help identify the cause. 💬 Have you ever noticed your walking change because of foot pain? #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatry #FootBiomechanics #GaitAnalysis #HealthyMovement Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatry,FootBiomechanics,GaitAnalysis,HealthyMovement Likes: 1 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/651919320_18311811187262381_5289525815377682335_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gFmQIilS6LrMn38tjwLOSUO0TeYCVu5pHKH7cNjmyglabs2VjSxbtLqvRavPUzK5uI&_nc_ohc=VLyacg6uyVIQ7kNvwGw-Dzf&_nc_gid=jZ6DqgpH5tuotvyvLVrCzQ&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af75BhpkvBJXN9iLBqhr26oKQlMUeNUc_DGH8GvtPClabg&oe=69FE2404&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DV5ZH5Ykfl9/ --- [2026-03-19T07:30:25.000Z] Image Caption: Walking more this spring? Your feet may still be catching up 👣 Many people become more active as the days grow longer. Extra walks, more movement and outdoor activities are great for overall health — but your feet sometimes take longer to adapt than the rest of your body. This is why heel pain, tired arches or stiffness can appear weeks after activity levels increase. At Leyton Foot Clinic we regularly see this pattern in patients across Leyton, Stratford and East London.

Some early remedies described placing warmth infused with chamomile near areas of hard skin before pressure was relieved. The belief was that gentle warmth and herbal vapour could soften tissue, making stubborn skin easier to manage. Today, podiatry relies on clinical techniques and sterile treatment, but it’s fascinating to see how earlier cultures used observation and natural materials in their approach to foot discomfort. Whether ritual or early experimentation, these traditions offer an intriguing glimpse into how people once cared for their feet. 📍 Trusted podiatrists in Leyton & Stratford 💻 Book a professional assessment via link in bio #LeytonFootClinic #FootcareHistory #HardSkinHelp #EastLondonPodiatry #AncientRemedies Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,FootcareHistory,HardSkinHelp,EastLondonPodiatry,AncientRemedies Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-dfw5-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/655025666_18312273205262381_3631910471013982729_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gGJGsD36ByI8YW2-_XHSao-Z-T4wzA_N3r1xzWeTej_aOuw36KapDNDwa_y9j9Jj5U&_nc_ohc=udr22m-EoMgQ7kNvwF_PCXr&_nc_gid=Ocnt3wUZIgHWoEDbdFb_7g&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af7rfiPR6q1bHIuL0BtEeWJuzFmwVljv8uFEiQlAx_iR4w&oe=69FE3C9A&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWBHg9kEX0K/ --- [2026-03-24T07:30:27.000Z] Image Caption: Why does foot pain often appear in March? Every spring we notice the same pattern in clinic: As the weather improves, people start walking more — around Leyton, Stratford and the Olympic Park. But after a quieter winter, the tissues in the foot may not yet be conditioned for that sudden increase in activity. so the extra walking can place repeated stress on the plantar fascia, the strong band of tissue that supports the arch of the foot. When it becomes irritated, people often notice: • heel pain when getting out of bed • soreness under the arch • discomfort after longer walks These are some of the most common early warning signs of plantar heel pain. We recently wrote a short blog explaining why March is when many people first notice foot pain — and what you can do about it. 📖 Read the blog on our website see link in bio 📍 Podiatry assessments in Leyton 👉 If discomfort keeps returning, a professional foot check can help identify the cause. #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatry #HeelPainHelp #FootHealthMatters #LeytonLondon Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatry,HeelPainHelp,FootHealthMatters,LeytonLondon Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/657940769_18313581325262381_3395314111739817163_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gHei9aVbZNzUvxPXLLcOUSXHFNEAVzm8Bnivrxy8hsb1QrrtbEzoID9DcCAmwfGiak&_nc_ohc=pr8K86LgCysQ7kNvwF59Bm4&_nc_gid=3RNvHN9p_RaWL-SukTzOnw&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af4ab05KlsQhmsY8nytDAAA4iSHGIAp1_HLltCfFbKNXdg&oe=69FE337B&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWQkSnGFnZJ/ --- [2026-03-26T07:30:26.000Z] Image Caption: 💜 Why are people wearing purple today? Today marks Purple Day, a global day raising awareness about epilepsy. Here’s a lesser-known clinical fact connected to the feet: During certain types of seizures, muscles can contract suddenly and powerfully. When this happens, the feet and toes may involuntarily curl, point, or stiffen due to rapid muscle activation. After an episode, some people experience temporary muscle soreness, cramping, or fatigue in the feet and legs. This is why comfortable, supportive footwear and good foot care can be important for people living with neurological conditions — helping maintain balance, stability and skin health. At Leyton Foot Clinic we believe podiatry is about supporting mobility and comfort for everyone. 💜 Today we wear purple to show understanding, raise awareness, and support those living with epilepsy. #PurpleDay #EpilepsyAwareness #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatry #FootHealthForEveryone Hashtags: PurpleDay,EpilepsyAwareness,LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatry,FootHealthForEveryone Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/657317881_18313854544262381_1708607561673708613_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gGA-0L1eoTCJDrYOsvoZpnlJzgk2YgqxUc8ahVzdFg7bMq1rCn7G0Qhb47RjtSTI5M&_nc_ohc=DxsKATDCAN0Q7kNvwE4SJd4&_nc_gid=5kPWEgKNVNS6pDzSglnuQA&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af4pAHKrXFL3z7pcyPPwrzKrJ07TgPzccvysWMcWvVLSaQ&oe=69FE4381&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWVt4iPlQT-/ --- [2026-03-16T07:30:19.000Z] Image Caption: That small heel ache in the morning is easy to ignore. Many people notice a sharp or tight feeling in their heel when they first step out of bed. It often eases after a few minutes of walking, which is why it’s commonly overlooked. But early morning heel pain can be one of the first signs that the foot is under increased strain — especially when activity levels rise after the quieter winter months. At Leyton Foot Clinic we frequently see this pattern in patients who have recently started walking more. Understanding these early signals can help prevent small problems becoming persistent ones. 📖 We’ve explained the March foot pain pattern in our latest article on the website. 📍 Professional podiatry care in Leyton, Stratford and East London. #LeytonFootClinic #HeelPain #EastLondonPodiatry #FootHealth #LeytonLondon #HealthyFeet Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,HeelPain,EastLondonPodiatry,FootHealth,LeytonLondon,HealthyFeet Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-lga3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/652776449_18311928820262381_4501796149937870212_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gHb_CFc7V2S3Z0HplHgL6G0iKitBCg2hCxDrrFH6jQr5pAO0TuK-F10gEpY3xfme-g&_nc_ohc=bRrmPnE185wQ7kNvwHUFCIJ&_nc_gid=FONgnbIpXXl4tcxOqm_jnw&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af72yHXgmdKINybhwIyhnrVjuSKX3kpsOHPROuSBsXaeXg&oe=69FE37C9&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DV796u-EeT4/ --- [2026-03-12T19:03:01.000Z] Image Caption: Foot pain during longer Ramadan prayers? Your prayer surface may be part of the reason. Standing on hard flooring for extended periods can increase pressure on the heels, arches and knees, especially during Taraweeh prayers. A well-cushioned prayer mat or layered surface can help distribute pressure more evenly and reduce strain while standing. At Leyton Foot Clinic, we often see patients from Leyton, Stratford and across East London experiencing heel or arch pain during Ramadan due to longer standing periods. Small adjustments — like better support underfoot — can make worship far more comfortable. ✨ Comfort supports focus during prayer. 👉 If you’re experiencing foot pain during prayer, book a professional foot assessment with our podiatrists at Leyton Foot Clinic. #LeytonFootClinic #RamadanFootcare #TaraweehComfort #EastLondonPodiatrist #HealthyFeetLondon Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,RamadanFootcare,TaraweehComfort,EastLondonPodiatrist,HealthyFeetLondon Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-dfw5-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/650819823_18311401015262381_6389378596593580883_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gHVdN3zUzO0jMd5GDovIvTjBIQ4fV8cNXfweJCI0jryh687KceBtI-QhRm8KDuO0zQ&_nc_ohc=ILzy0q2hCFYQ7kNvwEdVZIU&_nc_gid=qnc9VCF7sTc5ilGD42kt7A&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af4kC9oCb2Yb0D6EQuT-qsM3v_9a0MFFpKsBMbsdqjlVfw&oe=69FE1758&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVy6BF-CUlR/ --- [2026-03-13T19:03:57.000Z] Image Caption: Do your feet feel tired after Taraweeh prayers or evening walks during Ramadan? Longer standing during prayer and increased walking after Iftar can place extra strain on the arches, heels and small muscles of the feet. A simple 2-minute foot massage can help relax the muscles and encourage circulation after a long day of fasting. At Leyton Foot Clinic, we often recommend simple recovery techniques like this alongside professional podiatry care to help patients stay comfortable during Ramadan. 👣 Massage the arch and heel gently 👣 Focus on tight areas for 1–2 minutes 👣 Stretch your toes afterwards Small habits can make a big difference to foot comfort. ✨ Healthy feet help you focus on prayer — not pain. 👉 If your feet remain sore or tired, book a professional foot assessment with our podiatrists. #LeytonFootClinic #RamadanFootcare #TaraweehRecovery #EastLondonPodiatrist #HealthyFeetLondon Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,RamadanFootcare,TaraweehRecovery,EastLondonPodiatrist,HealthyFeetLondon Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://instagram.fhio2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.82787-15/650229032_18311555629262381_1777364220140280981_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=instagram.fhio2-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gH2LvzrTx3j7A6P5zxWcn4TBTCwUGAYcVoomEz9XWCCLrh_PMiuveO1qbJPDF9xvzY&_nc_ohc=2jNQOHO2mDsQ7kNvwFhCAcl&_nc_gid=xnDAxnjheX2AX-hEUqFT4w&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af6Wn1yS9iIYFDMlgD4fkVEPXYuv1R-XTxDgPKhf__NcmA&oe=69FE2146&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DV1eyxmFToe/ --- [2026-03-09T07:30:17.000Z] Image Caption: 👣 A new week begins — how will your feet feel by Friday?

Today is World Sleep Day: sleep isn’t just for your brain — it’s vital for your feet too. Scientific research shows that during sleep the body increases cell repair, protein synthesis and tissue regeneration, which helps damaged tissues heal faster. When sleep is disrupted, the healing process slows and the skin barrier can take longer to recover. That means things like • cracked heels • irritated skin • pressure spots • minor injuries often recover better after a good night’s sleep. So if your feet feel sore after a long day walking around Leyton, Stratford or East London… Your body may simply be asking for rest and repair time. Healthy sleep supports healthy feet. 📍 Foot health assessments in Leyton 👉 If discomfort keeps returning, a podiatry check can help identify the cause. #LeytonFootClinic #WorldSleepDay #EastLondonPodiatry #FootHealth #HealthyFeet Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,WorldSleepDay,EastLondonPodiatry,FootHealth,HealthyFeet Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-hou1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/650636189_18311470735262381_4093880052835479440_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-hou1-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gE2oM-r1YoHfVbM1b3TpzhmRpyO7Xc2tlfaGHf_sQ5jtI309JK4k-wQfrJlQqyafLM&_nc_ohc=RK12MM75mcYQ7kNvwHPvLFW&_nc_gid=w7UNjTSj1bNNtLHAdzns3w&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af7iaVryKwf2Bg-jlTfymOVK7s9yt3ctUtqBlEFxiozASw&oe=69FE35F2&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DV0PirZFfiy/ --- [2026-03-12T07:30:36.000Z] Image Caption: Your feet carry you thousands of steps every day.

It’s more common than you think. During Ramadan many people wash their feet several times a day for wudhu. While this is important for prayer, the moisture left between the toes can sometimes create the perfect environment for fungal infections to develop quietly. At Leyton Foot Clinic, we regularly help patients from Leyton, Stratford and across East London treat and prevent these infections before they become painful or spread. A simple habit can help: 👣 After washing, dry carefully between every toe 👣 Rotate shoes so they fully dry between uses 👣 Seek professional advice if skin becomes white, itchy or sore Early treatment is simple — but ignoring it often makes it worse. 👉 If you’ve noticed changes between your toes, book a professional foot check with our East London podiatrists. #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatrist #RamadanFootcare #FootHealthLondon #HealthyFeetUK Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatrist,RamadanFootcare,FootHealthLondon,HealthyFeetUK Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://instagram.fagc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.82787-15/647509394_18310958863262381_1134491127713967228_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=instagram.fagc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gFR6WJjqNP-zbg3VaaumkPzuvyWhq3DejRUxCNyRp8tf7p60RMMMsOEsYhGrc5T3t4&_nc_ohc=JHbQLovn-K4Q7kNvwEsZ7Ts&_nc_gid=3g0PYz45fnNXqJG0sLyodA&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af5wsOxY4-lKtp70z8K8kRoJ45kuWOIMypkpXhhFI5u9EA&oe=69FE3EC2&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVrLd2xCQml/ --- [2026-03-10T19:19:38.000Z] Image Caption: Heel pain during Ramadan? You’re not alone. Longer periods of standing during prayer, evening walks after Iftar, and changes in footwear can all place extra strain on the heel and arch of the foot. Many patients we see during Ramadan experience symptoms of plantar fasciitis, often noticing pain when first standing up in the morning or after periods of rest. Supportive orthotics or heel cushioning can help reduce pressure and improve foot alignment — but the most important step is identifying the underlying cause. At Leyton Foot Clinic, we regularly help patients across Leyton, Stratford and East London stay comfortable during Ramadan with professional foot assessments and personalised treatment. ✨ Healthy feet help you focus on prayer — not pain. 👉 If heel pain is starting to build, book a professional heel pain assessment with our podiatrists. #LeytonFootClinic #RamadanFootcare #HeelPainLondon #EastLondonPodiatrist #PlantarFasciitisHelp Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,RamadanFootcare,HeelPainLondon,EastLondonPodiatrist,PlantarFasciitisHelp Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-mia3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/649834670_18311094385262381_5917372029623551710_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_p1080x1080_sh2.08_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gF3qVK8puzwzlan5_p-othAJ7TfCE45tEVNaOPICV-bmFMPOezKGyLv5QxxiKFsXvM&_nc_ohc=Tg3n_gfm3K4Q7kNvwFVsjPv&_nc_gid=SKXC4lS5AN-5JgwLbgfysQ&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af43IwZHzZJ_M_Git-3GnoiV0Z9gPz3uruKcG9OdtEOfrw&oe=69FE37A0&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVtyTT8DhYN/ --- [2026-03-11T07:30:26.000Z] Image Caption: 📜 Recently we came across an interesting ancient-time treatment for corns… Historical footcare notes describe a curious ritual involving the rotation of socks before wearing them. The belief was that slightly twisting the fabric changed how pressure settled across the foot — particularly around areas prone to corns. While modern podiatry focuses on pressure, friction and biomechanics, it’s fascinating how earlier generations tried to influence these forces in their own way. Did subtle fabric tension really alter pressure points… or was it simply an early attempt to understand why corns form? Ancient remedies often reveal how observant people were about the human body. 📍 Leyton Foot Clinic | East London podiatrists 💻 Professional foot assessments available via link in bio #LeytonFootClinic #AncientFootcare #CornCareLondon #EastLondonFeet #FootHealthHistory Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,AncientFootcare,CornCareLondon,EastLondonFeet,FootHealthHistory Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-phx1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/650245414_18311173999262381_2531246653298081809_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-phx1-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gEjTh0OSM-5ZYHOaW0lhqdMCb22kZ1txlT_LE5WW3RDF8DD8stduxDxvGa4Aexl6Xc&_nc_ohc=ENBHAd1LfakQ7kNvwEs_a92&_nc_gid=CNU4Yi8hKPdwiUDZoJJeDw&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af5HMBj2psMi7ugL9yVCMS_HVYxLBn35DrM12cfrzlGx8A&oe=69FE4C95&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVvF8C5kanv/ --- [2026-03-03T12:27:13.000Z] Image Caption: 🌈 Holi: The Festival of Colour… and Movement 👣 Today many families across Leyton, Stratford and East London celebrate Holi — a festival that symbolises renewal, joy, unity and the victory of light over darkness. Colour represents life, energy and fresh beginnings. And what allows us to fully experience those vibrant moments? Healthy, comfortable feet. Festivals like Holi often involve: • Standing for long periods • Walking between gatherings • Dancing and outdoor celebrations From a podiatry perspective, prolonged standing and surface contact (especially with powders and moisture) can increase friction, skin irritation or strain — particularly if you already manage heel pain, corns, callus or nail issues. At Leyton Foot Clinic, we believe foot health supports life’s celebrations. Prevention, protection and early treatment help keep you moving confidently — not just today, but long term.

From 1 March, we entered meteorological spring — which means longer days, more walking, lighter shoes… and a noticeable rise in heel pain across East London. Every year in March, we at Leyton Foot Clinic see an increase in: • Plantar fasciitis flare-ups • Cracked heels • Hard skin build-up • Trainer-related strain It’s not coincidence. Activity increases before tissues are fully conditioned. Your feet have been in winter mode. Suddenly asking them to do more without preparation often leads to inflammation. The good news?

Be careful with hot water 👣 A warm foot bath can feel relaxing after a long day of fasting — but very hot water can actually damage the skin barrier. When water is too hot it strips away natural oils, leaving the skin dry, fragile and more likely to crack. Cracked heels are one of the most common problems we treat at Leyton Foot Clinic, particularly during Ramadan when routines change. Our podiatrists usually recommend lukewarm water for short soaks, followed by a good moisturiser to protect the skin. If dryness, cracking or discomfort has already started, professional treatment can restore skin health safely. 👉 Book expert podiatry care at Leyton Foot Clinic in East London via the link in our bio. #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatrist #HeelCrackTreatment #FootHealthLeyton #RamadanFootcare Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatrist,HeelCrackTreatment,FootHealthLeyton,RamadanFootcare Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/648648826_18310512445262381_6816389954370475922_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gF9Mygkm6Hu6vpivIW9y8VI20dx7LYeHE4Owr-ekuZBneDzJKGMAgnNJLRZprVr1cE&_nc_ohc=4eMp1QCCmbQQ7kNvwGNEY0y&_nc_gid=E-csN-d0myTjUazt9gt0cA&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af7Lpy77hLWNf6y9fvp157rC2Tv_cFV_Vx383rUgPu_waA&oe=69FE24C0&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVjdEHJlDat/ --- [2026-03-04T19:03:20.000Z] Image Caption: Halfway through Ramadan is the perfect moment to pause and assess 👣 Are your heels sore?

If your heel feels tight or painful when you first step out of bed, your body may be signalling the early stages of plantar fasciitis. Many people ignore this discomfort for weeks — sometimes months — assuming it will settle on its own. Sometimes it does. But quite often the irritation slowly becomes more persistent. Early assessment usually allows simple adjustments to help reduce strain on the plantar fascia, such as changes in footwear, activity levels or stretching routines. Left untreated for too long, heel pain can become much more stubborn and frustrating to resolve. Your feet carry you through thousands of steps every day. Paying attention to early signals helps keep them working comfortably. 📍 Professional podiatry care in Leyton, Stratford & East London 👉 If morning heel pain has started recently, it may be worth having it assessed. #HeelPainLeyton #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatry #FootHealthMatters #SeeAPodiatrist Hashtags: HeelPainLeyton,LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatry,FootHealthMatters,SeeAPodiatrist Likes: 0 | Comments: 1 Image: https://scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/648225251_18310344895262381_6109691661371187750_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gH4eeJv-XxQ3nadoJeTo5MEyPsT4lctZZWY66B7JQlki4RNS3hM1R0XuREcP-k8mlo&_nc_ohc=fl7vSNGQmRMQ7kNvwH94YTo&_nc_gid=_By1xjq-_pCaIjXG_w_jKg&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af5NhiSDFeFrvHGwEDUnBKT9Eum4R8iQorN1qXdHaRKWsw&oe=69FE4A15&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVfpKb0kb_P/ --- [2026-03-04T07:30:20.000Z] Image Caption: Most foot problems don’t start big. They start quietly. One of the most common things we hear in clinic is: “I thought it would settle on its own.” Sometimes it does. But often a small issue slowly becomes a bigger one: - A little nail discomfort can become an ingrown toenail. - A patch of hard skin can develop into a painful corn. - A mild heel ache can turn into persistent plantar fasciitis. Foot problems rarely appear suddenly. They usually develop gradually — which means early assessment often makes treatment much simpler. That’s why podiatrists pay attention to small changes before they become bigger problems. 📍 Professional podiatry care in Leyton, Stratford & East London 👉 If something with your feet has started to feel different recently, it may be worth having it looked at. #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatry #FootHealthMatters #HealthyFeet #SeeAPodiatrist Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatry,FootHealthMatters,HealthyFeet,SeeAPodiatrist Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-lga3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/640524387_18310232236262381_7575245969146968089_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gEbRVwkMriR8jSaqZJR68WP7i9uBLfGFSH5C0d2Bm131v32n5ME-gUTyCz2_hST8k8&_nc_ohc=CHTuzSF36ZAQ7kNvwFc_305&_nc_gid=Ztih16mSSJPjF5Z3YYNkqA&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af4QXc77uWCPhB-dTB1C1Fiw7HhnIRdDglAUSfARMEiH6g&oe=69FE1B97&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVdEXyODki8/ --- [2026-03-03T19:02:30.000Z] Image Caption: Morning stiffness during Ramadan?

Footwear is one of the most overlooked causes of foot discomfort. Running shoes and trainers often lose their internal support long before the outside looks worn. When the midsole begins to collapse, the foot has to stabilise every step without proper cushioning or structure. Over time this extra strain can contribute to problems such as: • Heel pain • Arch fatigue • Plantar fasciitis • General foot soreness after walking One simple thing we often do during appointments is assess footwear alongside the foot itself. Sometimes the cause of discomfort is surprisingly straightforward. 📍 Professional podiatry care in Leyton, Stratford & East London 👉 If walking has started to feel less comfortable recently, it may be worth having your feet — and your footwear — checked. #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatry #FootwearAdvice #HealthyWalking #SeeAPodiatrist Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatry,FootwearAdvice,HealthyWalking,SeeAPodiatrist Likes: 2 | Comments: 1 Image: https://scontent-lga3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/641776377_18310453408262381_7284478188327387842_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gEWfx_caCTjeCgGVz90hawvndKbbCjrdYcItc_GuC3EAcbtiAssOVnu3LLxfnm6NTs&_nc_ohc=Kq8CI3U0pFIQ7kNvwEEZsWq&_nc_gid=3SepKdytnN-yXuTDvYJrog&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af64ohY9ouNW5dBP_3YFw06XChSA5YzehbGNCOA93bZFzQ&oe=69FE2C44&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DViN-mblmzJ/ --- [2026-03-05T19:02:16.000Z] Image Caption: New shoes for Ramadan or Eid? Break them in slowly 👟 One of the most common problems we see during Ramadan is blisters caused by new footwear. When routines change and people walk more for prayers or evening gatherings, brand-new shoes can create friction and pressure on the skin. A simple preventative tip we often give patients at Leyton Foot Clinic is to wear new shoes for short periods at home first. This allows the material to soften and helps your feet adapt gradually. Small prevention steps like this protect comfort during prayer and daily walking. 👉 Follow for more expert Ramadan footcare advice from our East London podiatrists. #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatrist #FootHealthLeyton #RamadanFootcare #HealthyFeetUK Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatrist,FootHealthLeyton,RamadanFootcare,HealthyFeetUK Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/640457997_18310405717262381_7252876038685518200_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gGoi1uWRxxaeq6_Tl581XSBCZyuWiNjsKyT21THuSMQ64zK42MuOfgIzVmM-4bQaDY&_nc_ohc=yoCTpLhZVHUQ7kNvwE7wqqC&_nc_gid=Z0ot8SKLciRjepQxGtVoaA&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af4lg8if3s2hTkl2H-3LoP92WHbrSZBWZcRPxOTrILwA5Q&oe=69FE2125&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVg4Oo0CYR-/ --- [2026-03-07T19:01:07.000Z] Image Caption: Standing longer in prayer this Ramadan?

By March, many people in Leyton and across East London are walking more than they did during winter. But this is often the time when heel pain, tired arches or ankle stiffness quietly begin. At Leyton Foot Clinic we frequently see patients whose feet are still adapting to the activity increase that started earlier in the year. To help explain why this happens, we’ve published a new blog on our website about March Foot Pain — and what your feet may be trying to tell you. Understanding the early signs can help prevent small problems turning into persistent discomfort. 📖 Read the new blog on our website 📍 Trusted podiatry care in Leyton 👉 If walking has started to feel uncomfortable, it may be worth getting professional advice. #LeytonFootClinic #EastLondonPodiatry #FootHealthExperts #LeytonLondon #HealthyWalking Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,EastLondonPodiatry,FootHealthExperts,LeytonLondon,HealthyWalking Likes: 1 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/642746749_18310562227262381_3224474916040663942_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gHEKbjlLDeoMx_vCayMNm0i6UBhX6Rm1DIqc6hqmlbm-rQ4JUMZhObwEkWtgaE2V-7lSTjkr16Br2_gR-wOOVVs&_nc_ohc=cVa7ytJyXE8Q7kNvwFtrP1u&_nc_gid=gUMoTQeJ7n3Qi_LY7c3azA&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af7R13GjGUlPqkLdd9dhvfdYn41VRgVvPL-ngdB7G6_Z6g&oe=69FE27B8&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVkvU74Dka0/ --- [2026-02-25T07:30:28.000Z] Image Caption: Ingrown toenails don’t “grow out” on their own. What begins as mild edge tenderness can quickly progress to inflammation, infection and difficulty walking — especially when a sharp nail spike embeds into the surrounding skin. At Leyton Foot Clinic, our HCPC-registered podiatrists safely remove the offending nail spike using sterile clinical instruments, relieving pressure while reducing the risk of recurrence. We treat ingrown toenails daily for patients across Leyton, Stratford and East London — and early intervention always leads to faster recovery. If you’re noticing redness, swelling or pain along the nail edge, don’t wait. 📍 Leyton Foot Clinic – Trusted East London Podiatrists 💻 Book your professional nail assessment via the link in bio #LeytonFootClinic #IngrownToenailTreatmentLeyton #EastLondonPodiatrist #StratfordLondon #LeytonPodiatry #PodiatristNearMe #seeapodiatrist Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,IngrownToenailTreatmentLeyton,EastLondonPodiatrist,StratfordLondon,LeytonPodiatry,PodiatristNearMe,seeapodiatrist Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://instagram.flas1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.82787-15/641045563_18309483622262381_4162553359575426793_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=instagram.flas1-2.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gFy6K8ECrdt71NNIPFSpXeU4_nfJO9q0EE0K-abnLtRVXF8s2Ycvx5hsfCRhKtyBuY&_nc_ohc=_P6Pza2e0O8Q7kNvwF05wCk&_nc_gid=7Qio_d8fIUExd8_i9JM__Q&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af7NtA1i9WkMgpycSM-G_zX9xqVSskJt3I3cKTDNFS7jIQ&oe=69FE380D&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVLC0vblUJ0/ --- [2026-04-13T06:30:40.000Z] Video Caption: That first step in the morning shouldn’t hurt… You started walking more this April.

Stress doesn’t just affect your mind … It shows up in your shoes. When stress levels rise, your body produces more sweat — including in your feet. And that creates the perfect environment for problems: • damp skin • irritation • itching • recurring infections So if your feet always feel: 👉 sweaty 👉 uncomfortable 👉 “never quite fresh” It might not be your shoes … 👉 It might be your stress levels. We see this often in clinic — especially during busy periods. Because it’s not just about hygiene. It’s about the environment your feet are living in all day. If sweaty or irritated feet keep coming back, get it properly checked. 📍 Leyton Foot Clinic — helping East London stay comfortable on their feet 👉 Book online via link in bio #LeytonFootClinic #SweatyFeet #FootInfection #FootHealth #EastLondonPodiatry #LeytonLondon #HealthyFeet #StressAwarenessMonth Hashtags: LeytonFootClinic,SweatyFeet,FootInfection,FootHealth,EastLondonPodiatry,LeytonLondon,HealthyFeet,StressAwarenessMonth Likes: 0 | Comments: 0 Image: https://scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/671799069_18316368151262381_3183330286050312817_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_fr_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2gHcpE2NdJ09F1wOuMrQR0qdghBFe-5XPHs33Ul1wAyeLP4UsfvkESj0J8KTvmIMdoo&_nc_ohc=9WVF1es8_UMQ7kNvwEjc_1n&_nc_gid=k3lp89p4pZlaDzxA3Ab7qQ&edm=APs17CUBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_Af51QXripN635fDrZ2gtuFNTeA-hXp1FfDmxl2Qc1BRp4Q&oe=69FE489F&_nc_sid=10d13b URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXKIgz_FRKS/
