Foot pain is a widespread issue that can affect mobility, daily activities, and overall quality of life. Whether it’s heel pain, arch discomfort, or persistent foot conditions, ignoring foot problems can lead to long-term complications.
At The Wellness & Beauty Clinic, we provide specialised podiatry services to diagnose and treat various foot ailments. If you’re struggling with foot pain, our expert podiatrists can help you regain comfort, mobility, and confidence.
Common Causes of Foot Pain
Foot pain can stem from various conditions, including inflammation, infections, structural imbalances, and improper footwear. Below are some of the most common foot problems we treat at The Wellness & Beauty Clinic.
1. Plantar Fasciitis – The Leading Cause of Heel Pain
✔ Symptoms: Sharp pain at the bottom of the heel, especially after resting or first thing in the morning.
✔ Causes: Overuse, standing for long hours, flat feet, high arches, or wearing unsupportive shoes.
✔ Treatment: Pain relief, stretching exercises, and specialist podiatry care.
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia (a thick ligament under the foot) becomes inflamed, leading to heel pain and stiffness. Without treatment, this condition can worsen, making everyday activities like walking or exercising painful.
2. Heel Pain – More Than Just a Minor Discomfort
✔ Symptoms: Stabbing pain in the heel, swelling, or tenderness.
✔ Causes: Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or heel spurs.
✔ Treatment: Ice therapy, custom insoles, and podiatry treatments.
Heel pain is often caused by repetitive strain on the foot, particularly in individuals who run, stand for long hours, or wear poorly fitting shoes. Our podiatrists provide comprehensive assessments and targeted treatments to alleviate discomfort.
3. Foot Arch Pain – A Sign of Structural Issues
✔ Symptoms: Pain in the arch of the foot, swelling, and difficulty walking.
✔ Causes: Flat feet, high arches, improper footwear, or muscle strain.
✔ Treatment: Orthotics, supportive footwear, and podiatry care.
Flat feet or fallen arches can cause excessive strain on the feet, leading to pain that extends from the arch to the ankles, knees, and even lower back. Identifying and treating foot arch pain early prevents further complications.
4. Fungal Nail Infections (Onychomycosis) – More Than Just a Cosmetic Issue
✔ Symptoms: Thickened, discoloured, or brittle nails that may lift from the nail bed.
✔ Causes: Fungal overgrowth, warm environments, excessive moisture, or poor foot hygiene.
✔ Treatment: Professional podiatry treatment to clear the infection and restore healthy nails.
Fungal infections don’t just affect the appearance of toenails—they can cause discomfort, odour, and spread to other toes if untreated. Our clinic provides advanced fungal nail infection treatments for long-lasting results.
5. Ingrown Toenails – A Painful & Common Condition
✔ Symptoms: Pain, redness, swelling, and potential infection around the toenail.
✔ Causes: Improper nail trimming, tight footwear, or hereditary factors.
✔ Treatment: Professional podiatry care or minor toenail surgery for severe cases.
An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail grows into the skin, leading to pain and infection. If left untreated, the condition can worsen, causing abscesses or chronic discomfort. Our podiatrists offer safe and effective solutions to prevent future complications.

Preventative Foot Care – How to Keep Feet Healthy
Taking care of your feet can prevent many common foot problems. Here are a few podiatrist-recommended tips to maintain healthy feet:

✔ Keep Feet Clean & Dry – Wash your feet daily and dry them thoroughly to prevent fungal infections.
