At Tread Well, our team of chiropodists and podiatrists are dedicated to providing comprehensive foot care services, including diabetic education and routine nail/foot care. We help diabetic patients understand the impact of diabetes on foot health, as many experience numbness or reduced sensation, making it challenging to detect minor injuries that could lead to significant health risks. 

Our detailed approach to educating diabetic patients on foot health has established us as one of the leading foot clinics in Burlington, Ontario. During standard patient visits, our chiropodists and podiatrists assess and perform various foot care services, such as safely trimming nails, removing fungus, reducing calluses, and inspecting feet and nails for signs of damage, infection, and other concerns.

A damaged or ingrown toenail can lead to severe pain and infection in the toe. While antibiotics can combat infections, the issue may persist if the problematic toenail is not addressed. In certain cases, toenail surgery might be required. Our certified chiropodists, who are among the top practitioners in Burlington, Ontario, can perform minor surgical procedures in our office.

During a Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA), the chiropodist removes a portion of the affected toenail on one or both sides. In a Total Nail Avulsion (TNA), the entire toenail is removed. If necessary, the chiropodist may administer medications to prevent toenail regrowth. These procedures are conducted under local anesthesia and may be followed by topical antibiotic treatment.

Plantar warts are uncomfortable bumps on the foot soles, resulting from a viral infection. To prevent recurrence and spreading, it is essential to not only remove the wart itself but also destroy the underlying root. A chemical solution is applied to the root using a cotton swab. The number of applications and visits needed for complete removal depends on the severity of the wart or the wart cluster.
