Silver Podiatry – Podiatry Week 2025

The humble beginning of happy feet
Let’s be honest — when most people think of podiatry, they picture someone cutting toenails and scraping a bit of dry skin. And yes, we do that — but it’s also the part that quietly keeps people walking, working, and enjoying life.
At Silver Podiatry, nail and skin care isn’t just a cosmetic tidy-up. It’s about maintaining foot health, preventing infection, and catching small issues before they snowball into serious problems.
Nail care: simple, safe, and smarter than you think
From thickened nails that could challenge an angle grinder, to ingrown nails that make even socks seem cruel — we’ve seen it all.We trim, reduce, and reshape nails to prevent pressure and infection, and we do it with sterilised instruments and clinical precision.
And if fungal nails have taken up long-term residence? We can treat those too, often combining topical care with laser or other therapies as needed. The goal is simple: healthier nails, no pain, no fuss. Our KeryFlex can restore the natural appearance of a damaged nail for you, too.

Skin care: a little maintenance goes a long way
Hard skin and callus aren’t just unsightly — they can cause real discomfort, split painfully, or even ulcerate if ignored. Corns form under pressure points and can feel like walking on pebbles.
We remove them safely (without blades flying or tears shed), restore comfort, and help prevent recurrence by addressing the cause — footwear, pressure, or biomechanics.
Patients often leave saying, “I didn’t realise how much that was bothering me until now.”That’s the best part: instant comfort, and often, instant smiles. Walking on air.

Why regular care matters
Your feet carry you for thousands of steps every day. If you’re living with diabetes, poor circulation, or reduced sensation, routine podiatry care can literally prevent wounds, infections, and hospital stays.
For everyone else, it’s the difference between getting by and feeling great on your feet.
Think of it as a service for your soles — the same way you service your car. Regular maintenance means fewer breakdowns and a smoother ride.

In short…
Professional nail and skin care isn’t just about tidy toes. It’s about preserving mobility, preventing pain, and keeping you on your feet for the long haul.
At Silver Podiatry, we take pride in the details — from precise trimming to preventing pressure points — because every step you take depends on it.
