SPECIALTY OF PODIATRY

Chiropodia is the most common treatment in podiatry consultation. It consists of eliminating the hyperkeratosis of the feet and improving the health of the nails through the delamated and milling of these.

Hyperkeratosis are the thickening of the skin (hardness, calluses, chicken eyes, nails …), due to an increase in accumulation of dead cells in a localized area. They are produced by excess pressure due to a bad alignment of the bones along with the displacement of the fat layer that cushions in the sole of the foot, also having to see the use of inappropriate footwear.

The diffuses are typical, which is the hard skin that does not hurt, but we also usually suffer from hyperkeratosis located at a point that become very painful. These influence the bone factor and to definitely solve them, in addition to an exhaustive chiropodia, we can resort to templates or my surgery (minimal incision).
