In this week’s article we will focus on the knee, which as the research suggests, is the number one site for running injuries with the patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) being at the top of the list.

Here at South Dublin Podiatry, we understand that every one of our patients leads a busy and demanding life and sometimes a scheduled appointment may no longer suit.

As runners we tend to develop a love-hate relationship with our feet. We love them as they can carry us for miles, after all an average human will walk 5 times around the world in their lifetime.

Before we start, let’s look at What exactly is an ingrown toenail? An ingrown toenail is one that pierces the flesh of the toe. It may be extremely painful and inflamed or infected.

A bunion, or hallux valgus, appears as a bump which develops at the base of the big toe. It forms when your big toe, or hallux, pushes against the second toe. This forces the big toe joint to stick out and get bigger.

We are delighted to announce that South Dublin Podiatry Clinic will now be opened from 9am to 5pm every Wednesday. Call 083 8241454 to book your appointment today.

Last week we discussed in detail what are corns. This week we will talk about something we are all familiar with – calluses. Have you ever wondered what exactly is a callus, or how it forms on your skin? These extra-tough patches of skin are generally quite useful 

We are delighted to announce that from now on we are HSE approved and accept Chiropody Cards. A Chiropody card is a HSE Podiatry/ Chiropody Treatment Card which enables its holder to avail of a number of Routine Skin and Nail Care treatments at a discounted rate throughout the year.
