Tony Gregory Chiropodist Ltd offer foot treatments for a variety of different foot ailments. Calluses are caused by pressure or friction on skin. The skin thickens as a protective reaction. This usually occurs on the soles of your feet or any boney prominence particularly the tops of hammer toes and the small toe.
Calluses can be caused from wearing poor fitted shoes or can from an underlying problem such as bunions. If you undertake the proper treatment of any underlying condition, this should prevent the calluses from returning. Calluses are caused due to friction so if the root cause is put right they should be fine, unfortunately this is rarely the case and leaving the situation to become a wear and tear problem which will need regular treatment.
If you have any symptoms of calluses don’t hesitate to contact us. We can treat calluses easing your discomfort and advising you on how to prevent them from occurring in the future.
