If you require treatment on your feet by a Podiatrist then at Coastal Podiatry we now offer an exclusive dedicated home visit service for persons who require professional foot care for skin, nails and more. We bring the Podiatry / Chiropody clinic to you, our service is reserved specially for those who are housebound or have very limited mobility. We are happy to help you in your own home, care home or rest home, we can also provide hospital based visits and respite care for those with additional needs.
The Podiatrist will carry a domiciliary case, a mini clinic on wheels, with a mobile version of the nail drill, sterilised instruments, treatment tray, dressings, medical gloves, masks, couch roll and all the necessary things required to conduct a basic routine treatment.
General Podiatry and Chiropody treatments can involve reducing thickened toe nails, clearing tight nails (involuting) and removing debris under the nails. We will sculpt the nails to a suitable shape, reducing pain, managing ingrowing type nails, reduce hard skin, take away corns, protecting vulnerable digits, cleaning between the digits and cleanse the feet.
We can use micro nail burr heads that can often work very well in re-shaping and clearing the nail edge for a comfortable finish. In some cases we may opt for packing along the nail side with a fine line of very soft medical type foam that works to separate skin and nail from pressing on one another along the nail sides(sulci). This can often work to significantly improve comfort and prevent future issues along the nail sucli/skin interphase. With hard skin we would reduce callus and corns carefully with a scalpel and smooth the skin with skin burrs and micro burrs and finish with a sanding disc (Moors disc or similar). Finally, we would apply a relaxing emollient/moisturiser to finish and complete the treatment.
We may advise you on indoor footwear or slippers, ensure that you have more space for your toes, and that your footwear is soft yet supportive and have excellent cushioning and low friction qualities. We can also provide things such as medical grade cushioned insoles and arch supports. From very simple through medical grade memory foams to something more significant or customised should you need it. We can make interdigital toe spacers on-site to separate digits and help protect them against corns and to deflect pressure from shoes either in the form of silicone or foam type toe sleeves.
If you are diabetic, have arthritis, circulatory issues or any other underlying medical condition then we will cater to your needs to the best of our abilities. If we spot or detect something of issue we will contact your GP to ensure that you get back to health as soon as possible. For example detecting a skin infection or a skin condition.
Should you need to pay us, we have a portable mobile payment system if a person needs card payments. Repeat appointments can be booked online thanks to the power of the mobile phone or tablet diary system, all from the comfort of your home. Additionally if you have insurance payments can be invoiced.
