The Foot Practice: Your Partners in Foot Health

Welcome to The Foot Practice, where we prioritize your foot health above all. As leading podiatrists specializing in foot care, we understand the discomfort and frustration that corn on the sole of your foot can cause. In this comprehensive guide, we will share effective methods to help you get rid of corn on the sole of your foot once and for all.

Understanding Corn on the Sole of Foot

Corns are thickened areas of skin that develop in response to excessive pressure or friction. They typically appear on weight-bearing areas of the foot, such as the sole. Corns can be painful, causing discomfort and hindering your daily activities.

At The Foot Practice, we believe in taking a holistic approach to foot care. Our expert podiatrists examine your feet to understand the root cause of your corn. We then develop personalized treatment plans to address not only the symptoms but also the underlying issues contributing to corn formation.

Effective Treatment Options

1. Professional Corn Removal

  1. Curette Technique: Our podiatrists use a sterile instrument called a curette to carefully remove the corn, minimizing pain and leaving healthy skin intact.
  2. Chemical Treatment: In some cases, we may recommend a chemical treatment to soften the corn, allowing for easier removal.

2. Footwear Modification and Orthotics

Improper footwear can contribute to corn formation. Our podiatrists assess your current footwear and provide recommendations on appropriate shoe types, sizes, and orthotic inserts to alleviate pressure and friction on the sole of your foot.

3. Manual Debridement and Moisturization

Regular visits to our clinic for manual debridement and professional moisturization help keep your skin healthy and prevent corn recurrence.

4. Corn Pads and Cushions

We offer a wide range of corn pads and cushions designed to provide relief, protect the affected area, and redistribute pressure to prevent further corn development.

5. Foot Hygiene and Self-Care Practices

Our podiatrists educate you on effective foot hygiene practices and self-care routines to reduce the risk of corn formation. We provide guidance on proper trimming techniques and moisturizer application to keep your skin smooth and healthy.

Preventing Corn Recurrence

While our primary goal is to help you get rid of corn on the sole of your foot, we are equally passionate about preventing its recurrence. Our podiatrists will discuss preventive measures tailored to your specific needs, which may include:

  • Proper Footwear: Choosing comfortable shoes with appropriate arch support and sufficient toe room.
  • Regular Foot Inspections: Checking your feet for any signs of corns or other foot problems regularly.
  • Foot Moisturization: Keeping your skin hydrated and healthy with moisturizers recommended by our podiatrists.
  • Exercises and Stretches: Performing specific exercises and stretches to maintain foot flexibility and strength.
