Nail treatment
The best thing you can do for your feet

Nail treatment primarily involves the correct nail cut, the removal of nail thickening, calluses and calluses and the treatment of ingrown nails and nail diseases.

We make it possible for you to get back on your feet, walk without any problems and relieve you of unnecessary pain.

We only use high-quality instruments to ensure correct and pain-free work.

Removal of corns

Definition of corns

Corns are cone-shaped thickenings of the cornea that grow inwards. A corn is a usually painful callus formation caused by permanent pressure on the skin close to the bone with a central, deep spur.

How do corns develop?

Corns usually develop in places where firm fabric or bone rubs against the skin. Incorrect or too tight shoes and inadequate foot care encourage their formation. The callus becomes thicker and thicker and begins to proliferate, causing corns to form.

Causes of corns

Corns are often caused by incorrectly fitting footwear, but foot misalignment can also be responsible for their formation.

Corns that develop without orthopaedic foot problems and despite well-fitting footwear are very rare. However, there are also people who are genetically prone to increased callus formation.

What to do about corns?

It is not advisable to remove corns yourself. They should only be removed by podiatrists or experts in medical foot care. Various methods are used for this.

The callus is disinfected at the beginning. The callus is then removed professionally, skillfully and competently with a scalpel and the cut edges are evened out with a cutter.

Prevention

In many cases, it is necessary to repeat the treatment at regular intervals, otherwise the corns will quickly form again.

The most important thing, however, is to eliminate the trigger so that the corns do not form again and again. This often means avoiding high and tight shoes.

Artificial nail replacement
Nail corrections for toenails

For a natural appearance

Broken, deformed or damaged toenails can be reconstructed and beautified with an artificial nail replacement. The toenail is visually restored so that walking barefoot or wearing open-toed shoes is possible again

Optical restoration

It is also possible to prevent deformation of the nail bed and the toenail by adding missing nail parts. Another aim is to avoid consequential damage such as keratinization of the nail bed or growth disorders

Foot massage
A treat for your feet

Stress reduction & relaxation

Massage is one of the oldest therapies used specifically to treat various conditions

The known effects of massage include the local improvement of blood circulation and metabolism, loosening of adhesions in the tissue, stress reduction, pain relief, muscle relaxation and mental relaxation.

Influence on the whole body

Psychozone massage is a healing massage that has holistic, i.e. physical and psychological, effects

We can influence the whole body with a foot massage. More than 70,000 nerve tracts end at the feet, through which we can reach all organs of the body on a reflective level.

Special psychozone massage

I use psychozone massage to treat psychological complaints such as nervousness, anxiety, stress, sleep disorders and depression.

It is a special form of foot reflexology massage. The technique of psycho-zone massage goes back to the Chinese doctor Yen Chia-kan.

Foot care for diabetes
Consultation for diabetic foot problems

Wounds hardly heal

Foot care is particularly tricky for diabetics because even the smallest wounds hardly heal. As a podiatrist, I know what is important and pay particular attention to the medical side of foot care. Optimal foot treatment for diabetes mellitus is guaranteed, not least because we have three years of in-depth training.

Individual advice

Individual advice takes up a large part of podiatry treatment. Self-monitoring is one of the most important measures to prevent diabetic foot problems. Pressure points, injuries or heat must be avoided - they are no longer perceived or are perceived to a much lesser extent

I am happy to treat your feet

    Proper foot care is particularly important for diabetics.
    With diabetes, the feeling of pressure, pain, hot and cold is often reduced.
    Small injuries therefore often go unnoticed until they have developed into poorly healing wounds.
    I will advise you and treat your feet according to the latest findings.
