    Professional Footcare Services at LMC Footcare

    At LMC Footcare, we understand that taking routine care of the skin and nails of your feet is about both looking good as well as ensuring your overall health and well-being.

    Choosing LMC Footcare Professionals to care for your footcare needs affords you many advantages above and beyond what a salon can provide for the same cost.

    While salon services may seem like an option, they often fall short in providing comprehensive and medically sound solutions for your foot health. Here’s why professional foot care is the superior choice:

    • 1. Hygiene and Safety: Our clinic strictly adheres to medical grade hygiene and safety standards. We use sterilized equipment and maintain a clean and safe environment to reduce the risk of infection or complications during treatment.
    • 2. Medical Expertise: Our team of skilled chiropodists and Foot Care Nurses are trained to assess and treat a wide range of foot conditions. During routine care, we can identify any potential issues that may go unnoticed in a salon or self-care. This way, they are taken care of immediately and are prevented from becoming more complicated issues.
    • 3. Tailored Solutions: Professional foot care services are customized to address your specific needs. Whether you have corns, calluses, thick nails, diabetes, bunions, ingrown toenails, or any other foot-related concern, we can provide tailored treatments to improve your foot health.
    • 4. Advanced Techniques: We offer advanced techniques and treatments that are not available in salons. These can significantly enhance the effectiveness of the care provided.
    • 5. Comprehensive Care: Our services go beyond aesthetics. While a salon might focus solely on nail appearance, we prioritize both the appearance as well as your overall foot health, addressing issues that can cause discomfort, pain, or long-term problems. Conditions such as hypothyroidism, Psoriasis, diabetes etc. can all impact your feet.
    • 6. Peace of Mind: By choosing professional foot care, you're investing in your well-being, knowing that you're in the hands of EXPERTS who are dedicated to your comfort and health.

    We Provide a wide range of services, including:

    • Nail trimming and maintenance
    • Corn and callus removal
    • Skin condition assessment and treatment
    • Foot health education and advice
    Our dedicated team of foot care professionals is here to offer you the expert care and attention your feet need.

    Foot Pain - Heel Pain Conditions and Treatments

    Heel pain is a common issue that affects people of any age. The patients we see for treatment come in with various causes and symptoms. If heel pain is left untreated, it can develop into a chronic problem requiring longer recovery.

    Heel Pain Causes

    There are many causes of heel pain. One of the most common issues is bottom of the heel pain, called plantar fasciitis (you may have also seen it misspelled as plantarfasciitis).

    Some of the other causes include:

    • Achilles tendinitis may also be called Achilles heel, which is back of the heel pain.
    • Unsupportive footwear.
    • Weight gain.
    • Fasciitis, where the plantar fascia becomes inflamed or swollen.
    • Walking or standing for long hours.
    • Overpronation, when your foot rolls too far inwards and flattens when walking.
    • Oversupination, which occurs when your foot rolls too far onto the outside of your foot as you walk
    • A heel spur, which is a boney growth from your heel bone due to too much pulling from the plantar fascia.

    Symptoms of Heel Pain

    The symptoms of heel pain vary, depending on the type and location of your pain.

    Some common heel pain symptoms include:

    • A painful foot or a sore heel
    • Bottom of heel pain 
    • A painful foot arch
    • Pain in heel of foot
    • Achilles tendon pain (back of your heel, and lower leg)
    • Pain in the back of heel

    Heel Pain Treatment

    If you’re experiencing heel pain, the one thing you don’t want to do is ignore it. Ignoring pain can lead to more damage to your foot, and can cause ankle, knee, or hip pain from walking differently.
    We recommend getting immediate plantar fasciitis treatment or treatment for the type of heel pain you have.

    Heel Pain Treatments Options

    Heel pain usually goes away without surgery, but you need time to recover. The sooner you seek treatment, the faster your recovery will be. There are a wide variety of treatment options depending upon the cause of your pain.
    Our LMC Chiropodists may recommend orthotics, proper footwear, stretching or taping the area.

    Custom Orthotics (Custom Orthoses)

    Orthotics are a longer-term solution to help prevent the underlying issue of heel pain from happening again. Custom orthotics made specifically for your foot structure correct the parts of your foot that can cause the problem. Orthoses help keep your bones, muscles, and fascia in a more optimal position.
    During your assessment, your Chiropodist may discover a secondary issue causing your heel pain. If this secondary issue is stemming from your foot or ankle, your orthotics will be suited to support this concern.
    Continued wear of your custom orthotics will help to reduce your symptoms and pain. We strongly recommend using custom orthotics with proper footwear, stretching, and taping when managing plantar fasciitis pain.

    Proper Footwear

    Wearing proper footwear is essential to ensure your heel pain doesn’t return.

    Some things to look for in shoes to prevent heel pain from recurring include:

    • Ensuring your shoes fit correctly and aren’t too loose or too tight.
    • Ensuring the features of a shoe meet your specific needs is essential as no two feet are the same. Shoes that work for a friend or family member may not support you well. Choose the brand of shoe that you like and look for shoes within the brand that have the features you need.
    • Replacing your shoes regularly. If you notice they are wearing down in areas, change them to shoes that can provide better support when you do activities.
    • Choosing shoes appropriate for your activity level. For example, if you run, ensure you wear running shoes with ample cushion and heel support. Avoid gimmicky features such as shocks, air bladders and gels that often lead to heel pain and are simply used to draw attention to a shoe.

    Stretching

    We usually suggest simple plantar fasciitis stretching techniques to help relieve heel pain. Stretching techniques are recommended based on the type of pain you’re experiencing and the exact location.

    Taping

    Taping your heel and foot can be an effective treatment option to help manage your pain and provide your heel with some necessary support, especially if you’re experiencing pain. It helps to stabilize your heel and foot so you can rest them in place. There are a wide variety of tapes that can be used. Your Chiropodist will be able to advise on the correct type for you and show you how to easily apply it at home.

    Cortisone Injections

    Cortisone is an anti-inflammatory medication used to treat musculoskeletal conditions. When cortisone is injected into your affected area, it can lower inflammation and pain. If cortisone is right for you, it will still need to be used in addition to proper footwear, stretching, taping and custom orthotics.
