Chiropody
General chiropody is a core skill of any podiatrist, and at our Portsmouth clinic, we ensure appropriate care and attention to the nails and skin, which can significantly improve both the cosmetic appearance of the feet, as well as resolve foot pain associated with problems such as callus.
With fourteen years of post-graduate clinical experience, Nishal applies great skill and attention to detail to ensure that the best possible treatment outcomes are achieved.
Some of the common chiropody problems she manages include:
- Ingrown Toenail
- Hard/Thickened Nails
- Callus/Corns
- Athlete’s feet (fungal infection)
- Hammer Toe Deformity
What is Chiropody?
Chiropody, also known as podiatry, is a specialized branch of healthcare that diagnoses, treats and prevents disorders and conditions of the feet and lower legs. A foot health practitioner, or chiropodist, is trained to manage a wide range of foot related issues from routine nail care and callus removal to more complex treatments like nail surgery and orthotics. These services are essential for healthy feet and any foot problems that may arise. Whether you are dealing with minor discomfort or more serious conditions chiropody treatments can help and improve your overall foot health.

Why choose Perfect Skin Solutions for your Chiropody?
Nishal believes there is more to a Chiropody appointment than just cutting nails and removing calluses. Over her 20+ years in practice, her experiences have shown that patient education is key to building a trusting and compliant relationship between the patient and clinician. Along with treating the symptoms, she explains the underlying causes, their reasons and how to best treat these for a long-term solution. It is usually quite an eye-opener for patients, in a positive way.
