Chiropodist in Woolwich

75% and 80% of the UK adult population have some form of problem with their feet, and this is particularly true with women, who as a population have approximately four times as many foot problems as men, with a contributing factor being the wearing of high-heel shoes. Feet by Pody is a chiropody clinic which provides effective treatment and solutions for a wide range of everyday and more complex foot conditions. Founded by Nicolas Ivanoff, a qualified chiropodist in Woolwich who is registered by The Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and is a member of the Society of Chiropodist and Podiatrist (MChs), Feet by Pody offers assessment, diagnoses, and management of patients' foot and lower-limb related conditions. "Our feet interact with the ground we walk on, and so they bear the brunt of walking, running, climbing, and all of our other everyday weight-bearing activities" Nicolas explains. "Impact with the ground causes associated movement in the lower limb, lumbar spine, and pelvis. This is normal, but variations in the shape and mobility of our feet can lead to changes in how our feet interact with the ground, often placing excessive stress and strain not only on the foot but also other parts of the body." "When you consider that, on average, our feet carry each us the equivalent of five times round the earth in an average lifetime, it is no wonder that many of us will experience problems with our feet, particularly as we reach our 40s and 50" Nicolas continues "I assess a patient's pattern of walking by testing their feet and lower limbs in order to correct or compensate any imbalance. I do this by using a computerised pressure platform to obtain an image of the impact of the feet on the ground and the distribution of the pressure." "As a chiropodist in Woolwich, I carry out a wide range of treatments, including treating corns and verrucas, as well as managing more complex podiatric needs, such as producing orthotics to help correct problems with patients' gait." Nicolas' top tips for healthy feet: • Choose appropriate shoes: don't be tempted to wear your high-heels or formal shoes for a day's sightseeing; wear comfortable, supportive shoes with a low heel. • Alternate between your pairs of shoes; putting on damp, sweaty shoes that you wore the previous day puts your feet at risk of bacterial and fungal infections • When buying shoes, try on both feet; the size and shape of each of your feet is not always the same • At work, wear slip-resistant safety shoes if your handling heavy loads that might fall or your toes, or if there are heavy loads lying around that you might stub your toe on Nicolas Ivanoff is a chiropodist in Woolwich with clinics in Canary Wharf, the City of London, and Woolwich Royal Arsenal To find out more about the premier chiropodist in Woolwich, please visit www.feetbypody.com or phone 07907 456 846.
