Don’t Ignore Your Feet: 5 Signs It’s Time to Visit Gentle Stride Podiatry
5 Signs You Need to See a Podiatrist
At Gentle Stride Podiatry Clinic, we believe that healthy feet are the foundation of a healthy life. Whether you’re on your feet all day at work, chasing after little ones, or simply trying to stay active, your feet carry you through it all — and they deserve expert care.
Yet too often, people ignore foot pain or changes in their feet, thinking it’s just “part of getting older” or “not serious enough” to see a podiatrist. But the truth is, foot problems can get worse if left untreated — and early intervention can prevent long-term complications.
Here are 5 signs it’s time to book an appointment at Gentle Stride Podiatry Clinic:
1. Heel Pain
That Won’t Go Away
Is your first step out of bed in the morning painful? You could be dealing with plantar fasciitis, one of the most common causes of heel pain. It’s often the result of inflammation in the tissue that supports your arch. At Gentle Stride, we offer personalised treatment options — from custom orthotics to stretching regimens — to help you walk pain-free again.
2. Thick or Discolored Toenails
If your toenails are yellow, thick, or brittle, you may have a fungal infection. These infections can be stubborn, and store-bought treatments rarely offer lasting results. Our clinic provides advanced care, including prescription-strength solutions to restore healthy, clear nails.
3. Numbness, Tingling, or Burning
Strange sensations in your feet could be signs of nerve damage, particularly for patients with diabetes. We take diabetic foot care seriously at Gentle Stride, offering thorough assessments and personalised management plans to protect your foot health and prevent complications.
4. A Bony Bump on Your Big Toe
Notice a painful bump forming near your big toe joint? That’s likely a bunion, which can worsen over time and make it difficult to wear shoes comfortably. Whether you need conservative treatment or surgical advice, we’ll help you understand your options and take the pressure off.
5. Recurring Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown nails are more than just annoying — they can lead to infection and ongoing pain. If you’ve had more than one, it’s time to see a podiatrist. We offer gentle, safe procedures to remove the problem area and prevent future issues.
Expert Foot Care, Right in Your Community
At Gentle Stride Podiatry Clinic, we’re committed to helping you walk comfortably and confidently. Whether you’re dealing with ongoing pain or a small issue that just won’t go away, we’re here with the expertise — and the gentle touch — your feet deserve.
