General Skin & Nail Care

Keeping your feet healthy & comfortable

Your feet carry you every day, so it’s no surprise they sometimes need extra care. At The Sole Pod, we treat a wide range of skin and nail concerns to keep your feet healthy and comfortable.

SKIN & NAIL ISSUES

Discoloured / Thickened Toenails

Often caused by fungal infections (onychomycosis), which can lead to pain or permanent nail damage if left untreated. We offer tailored treatment plans, including antifungal therapies and, if needed, surgical intervention.

Ingrown Toenails

Can cause infection if not managed properly. We offer gentle clearing, nail brace methods, or minor nail surgery to relieve pain and prevent recurrence.

Athlete's Foot (Tinea)

A common fungal infection that causes itching, burning, and peeling skin, especially between the toes. We provide effective treatment options to clear it up and prevent it from returning.

Pressure-related Concerns

Corns & Calluses

Hard, painful skin caused by friction or pressure, often linked to poor footwear or biomechanics. We safely remove these while addressing the root cause to prevent them from coming back.

Plantar Warts

Viral skin growths that commonly develop on weight-bearing areas of the feet. We provide treatments to eliminate warts and support your immune response.

Cracked Heels

Dry, cracked heels can be caused by age, diabetes, skin conditions, or excess foot stress. We offer expert care, including medical-grade foot creams that deliver outstanding results. If your heel issues are linked to biomechanics, we’ll address the underlying cause to keep your feet feeling their best.

Foreign Object Removal

Splinters, glass, or even embedded hair can lead to infections if not removed properly. We handle minor removals in the clinic and can perform more advanced procedures if needed. Elise also has specialised training in treating conditions like ganglions, bursitis, and Morton’s neuroma using injection therapies.

A holistic approach for long-lasting results

Consult Appointments

Consultation-style appointments ensure I’m providing a thorough assessment of your concern. Quick appointments are limiting and typically focus on the concern only at face-value. I believe that lasting results come from taking the time to look at the bigger picture.

Pilates-Certified

Our entire body is connected, and discomfort in one area often stems from another. With that in mind, I completed a Pilates certification to better treat my patients. Alongside manual therapies, I can prescribe exercises to build strength and balance throughout the body.

Natural Footwear

Modern footwear can limit natural foot function. My podiatry style integrates manual therapies, exercise and low level laser therapy to treat your concerns. So that when you’re ready, you can step away from the limitations of modern footwear and orthotics.

Interest in Biomechanics

My desire to approach podiatry from a holistic point of view has lead me to gain further education on the body as a whole. With an understanding of the entire body, I can move past the foot and ankle- connecting the dots to the source of your concern.
