When we talk about health and aesthetics, we often focus on the obvious — glowing skin, sculpted bodies, youthful features. But one part of the body quietly works hard for us every single day: our feet.
At The Wellness & Beauty Clinic, we believe that real wellness starts from the ground up. Our specialist podiatry services, led by expert podiatrist Luke Planter, are designed to not only treat discomfort and pain but to support your overall health, mobility, and confidence.
So, what exactly does a podiatrist do — and why should you care about your foot health?
🦶 What Is a Podiatrist?
A podiatrist is a medical professional who specialises in diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions of the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. Far from being just for “serious” foot problems, podiatry is key to everyday health — from helping you stay pain-free at work or in the gym, to allowing you to feel confident wearing the shoes you love.
At our North London podiatry clinic, you’ll be in the safe hands of Luke Planter, our highly experienced podiatrist who offers expert, personalised care for all aspects of foot health.
🩺 What Does a Podiatrist Treat?
Here are some of the key conditions and concerns that Luke Planter and our podiatry team regularly treat:
- Corns, Calluses & Hard Skin
These common issues can make walking uncomfortable and affect your gait. We offer safe, effective removal and prevention advice. - Ingrown Toenails
Painful and prone to infection, ingrown toenails are a frequent reason clients seek help. Luke provides relief and long-term solutions to prevent recurrence. - Fungal Nail Infections & Thickened Nails
Thick, discoloured nails can often indicate fungal infection. Our treatments target the source for healthier, clearer nails. - Foot and Ankle Pain
Conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and arch pain can impact your daily life. Luke will assess your movement and posture, offering effective treatment and prevention strategies. - Diabetic Foot Care
For diabetic clients, regular foot care is essential to avoid serious complications. We offer careful monitoring, treatment, and advice to maintain foot health and circulation. - Sports Injuries
Whether you’re an athlete or simply active, foot and ankle injuries can hold you back. Our podiatry service supports recovery, injury prevention, and footwear advice.
👣 Why Foot Health Matters More Than You Think
Your feet are your foundation. Poor foot health can lead to:
- Postural problems and back pain
- Reduced mobility and flexibility
- Chronic discomfort that affects daily life
- Infections or worsening skin and nail conditions
- A loss of confidence in your stride, style, or activity levels
It’s easy to ignore foot discomfort — but these small issues often develop into much bigger problems if left untreated.
