Initial & Follow-Up Podiatry Appointments in Sidcup
Start your journey to healthier, more comfortable feet. Our specialised podiatrists will assess your feet, treat any problems and create a personalised care plan, then support you with follow-up appointments as you need them.
THE FIRST STEP
Your first podiatry appointment in Sidcup
Whether you have a specific foot problem or simply want a professional foot health check, an initial appointment is the best place to start. At Sidcup Foot Clinic, your specialist podiatrist takes the time to understand your feet, your health and your daily life, so the care you receive is tailored to you.
An initial podiatry appointment in Sidcup is a thorough, unhurried consultation. It gives us the information we need to diagnose problems accurately, begin treatment where appropriate and agree the right plan for the future, whether that is routine nail and skin care, verruca treatment, fungal nail treatment or a biomechanical assessment.
What happens at your initial appointment
01
Welcome and health history
We talk through your concerns, symptoms, medical history, medication and lifestyle, including work, activity and the footwear you wear every day.
02
Thorough foot examination
Your podiatrist examines your skin, nails, joints and general foot health, and checks circulation and sensation where appropriate.
03
Assessment and diagnosis
Where it helps, we look at how you stand and walk to understand the cause of pain or recurring problems, and explain what we find in plain language.
04
Treatment and care plan
Where appropriate, treatment can begin straight away, such as nail care or managing corns and callus. You leave with clear advice and a personalised plan.
Follow-up podiatry appointments
Good foot health is rarely a one-visit job. A follow-up appointment lets your podiatrist review your progress, adjust your treatment and continue your care, whether that is ongoing treatment, regular routine care or a review after a course of treatment. Follow-up appointments are ideal for:
- Reviewing your progress after treatment
- Ongoing routine nail and skin care
- Managing long-term foot health needs
- Monitoring your feet if you have diabetes, arthritis or circulation problems
- Checking that footwear, insoles or exercises are working for you
- Keeping on top of recurring problems before they become painful
Who should book a chiropody or podiatry appointment?
Our initial and follow-up appointments are suitable for almost everyone. You might like to book if you have:
- Foot, heel, arch or toe pain
