General foot care advice
-
- Wear sensible shoes. This means avoiding court shoes, slip-ons and high heels. Always buy shoes that fit your feet rather than squeezing your feet into fashionable shoes.
- Wash your feet everyday, paying particular attention to the area in between your toes. Check to make sure your feet are problem free.
- If your feet are dry, apply a foot cream (but not in between the toes), paying particular attention to any areas of hard skin.
- If you have excessive moisture between your toes, use surgical spirit applied with a cotton bud, a couple of times a week.
- Do not use home “lotions and potions” to remove corns and hard skin. Leave it to the chiropodist.
- Keep your toenails at a reasonable length. Long toenails can catch hosiery and dig into other toes. After you have cut them, use a file to ensure they are smooth.
- If you have poor circulation or diabetes, it is vital that you check your feet every day. Minor wounds, areas of redness or discharge, should be dressed with an antiseptic and sterile dressing.
- You should consult our Oxford chiropodist or Didcot chiropodist as soon as possible to attend for regular check ups.
- If you are looking for expert and effective verruca treatment in Oxfordshire then please get in touch as we can help at either our Oxford or Didcot chiropody clinic

Chiropodist Treatment Reviews via Google my Business
“I was impressed with telephoning booking arrangements as the Receptionist was very helpful. I had stubbed a big toe many months ago and the part of the nail was now coming off.
I was seen by Pam and although I was her last patient and the premises closed at 7.00pm Pam was not prepared to rush. She dealt with the nail and also checked and trimmed my other nails as well as dealing with some hard skin.
All very professional and reasonably priced at £39. I left at 7.25 pm. Parking at the rear of premises.
I would certainly go again and can recommend the Practice. Thank you.”
“I’ve been visiting the smile practice for years, and I can honestly say that I have seen a major improvement in the refurbishment since the smiles practice has taken ownership, which they put into the building, decor, the equipment and the whole feel of the professional friendly experience you get whilst visiting.
The reception staff are friendly and the covid 19 measures they have put into place make you feel rest assured that It’s a clean hygienic safe place for treatment, I regularly use the chiropodist services, and can say that I’m truly blessed to have an amazing podiatrist Kavita.
She works wonders on my feet and would definitely recommend the Chiropody services here. The smiles practice has free parking with the appointment, available at the rear of the business which is a godsend and takes the hassle out of the whole situation of trying to find a parking space. Y
ou truly get that pampered feeling during and after a Chiropody session and I leave feeling like I have two new feet ! Great team and Business.“
Podiatrist Treatment Review via Google my Business
“Having hobbled into practice I was extremely nervous of the podiatrist touching my foot let alone removing the ingrown toe nail. I was put at ease & the small slither of nail was removed. I danced down the corridor on my way out and had already booked a future appointment.
I would certainly recommend this practice to anyone suffering with similar problems. Looking forward to next appointment.”
