Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need a referral to see a Foot Health Practitioner? No, you can book an appointment directly with us. Whether you need routine nail care or have a specific pain, we are here to help.

What is the difference between a Podiatrist and a Foot Health Practitioner? Both are trained to treat common foot conditions. A Foot Health Practitioner (FHP), such as Pauline, specialises in the day-to-day maintenance of foot health, including corns, calluses, nail care, and diabetic monitoring.

Does corn removal hurt? No. Corns are distinct areas of hard skin. Removing them involves carefully paring away the dead skin, which has no nerve endings. Most patients feel instant relief once the corn is removed.
