Feet First: Effective Fungal and Corn Treatment Options for Better Foot Health
Good health starts from the ground up. At Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab, we believe in prioritizing foot health because your feet are, quite literally, the foundation for your daily life. One of the common foot health issues people experience includes fungal infections and corns. Both conditions can bring discomfort and affect your daily activities. But don't worry, we're here to help you put your best foot forward once again with effective fungal and corn treatment options.
Understanding Fungal Infections
Foot fungal infections are common and can happen to anyone. They are predominantly caused by the same fungus responsible for athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch. These infections are typically characterized by scaling, flaking, and itching of the affected area. At Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab, we provide a comprehensive range of therapies to address and manage fungal foot infections.
Treatment Options for Fungal Infections
Medicated creams: Depending on the severity of the infection, a medicated cream might be prescribed to tackle the fungus directly.
Laser Therapy: This is where Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab shines. Our laser therapy is a non-invasive yet remarkably effective treatment option. The laser light penetrates the infected area, killing the fungus without affecting the surrounding tissues.
Home Care: Our team will also provide you with advice on how to prevent fungal infections from reoccurring. This includes advice on foot hygiene, footwear choices, and the use of antifungal powders or sprays.
What Are Corns and How to Deal with Them?
Corns are hardened layers of skin that develop when your skin tries to protect itself against friction and pressure. They can be painful when pressed and can be a source of discomfort when you're walking or standing.
Treatment Options for Corns
Custom Orthotics: For patients dealing with corns, custom orthotics can provide immense relief. At Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab, we can design custom orthotics tailored to your foot's unique needs. These devices redistribute pressure evenly across your feet, helping to prevent the development of corns.
Chiropody: Our foot specialists (chiropodists) are skilled at safely removing corns, allowing for the healthy skin beneath to heal.
Home Care: Just like with fungal infections, we are committed to providing you with the knowledge to prevent the reoccurrence of corns. This includes guidance on proper footwear and foot care techniques.
