Podiatry and Chiropody Clinic
Most people only book a podiatry appointment when they are already uncomfortable.
At My Feet NI in Ballymena, we often hear:
“I didn’t realise it would get worse.”
When it comes to foot health, small problems rarely stay small.
Routine foot care isn’t just about comfort it’s about prevention, mobility, and maintaining independence.
Small Issues Can Escalate Quickly
What begins as:
• Slightly thickened nails
• A small corn
• Hard skin on the heel
• Mild discomfort in shoes
• Difficulty cutting your own nails
Can develop into:
• Pain when walking
• Cracked heels
• Ingrown nails
• Infection
• Reduced balance and mobility
When walking becomes uncomfortable, people naturally reduce activity — which affects circulation, strength and overall wellbeing.
Preventative care stops problems before they start affecting daily life.
Why Routine Foot Care Is Especially Important Over 60
As we age:
• Nails become thicker and harder to manage
• Skin becomes drier and more fragile
• Circulation may reduce
• Flexibility decreases
Even reaching your feet safely can become difficult.
Regular appointments at our Ballymena clinic allow us to:
✔️ Safely trim and manage nails
✔️ Remove corns and hard skin comfortably
✔️ Monitor skin and circulation
✔️ Identify early warning signs
✔️ Provide footwear and prevention advice
Healthy feet are key to staying active and independent.
The Risk of “Leaving It”
Many people try to manage foot problems themselves.
However:
• Cutting nails incorrectly can cause ingrown nails
• Over-the-counter corn treatments can damage healthy skin
• Ignoring hard skin can lead to painful cracks
• Minor issues can become infected
Professional podiatry care is safe, hygienic and tailored to you.
