Podiatry

Podiatry is the specialty dedicated to the care, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the feet. At Centro Médico Global, we offer professional, personalized care to look after the health of your feet and help you maintain good mobility.

The health of your feet matters too

Our feet bear our weight and are under constant strain. However, many discomforts become normalized and persist for a long time without receiving proper attention.

Pain, a change in the nails, an injury, or an issue with the way you place your feet can affect your mobility and quality of life. A podiatric assessment can help identify the source of these issues and determine the most suitable care or treatment.

When should you see a podiatrist?

You don’t need to wait for a major problem to appear to take care of your foot health. A professional assessment may be advisable for various discomforts or conditions.

Some of the most common reasons for consultation are:

  • Pain in the feet or toes.
  • Ingrown toenails or other nail conditions.
  • Hard skin and calluses.
  • Plantar warts.
  • Skin conditions affecting the feet.
  • Pain related to the way you walk or place your feet.
  • Recurring discomfort when walking or playing sports.
  • Gait abnormalities.
  • Injuries or discomfort affecting mobility.
  • Foot problems associated with certain illnesses.
  • Gait analysis.

We treat a range of foot problems

Podiatry covers the care of various structures of the foot and can address issues related to the skin, nails, gait, and musculoskeletal system.

Nails and skin

Ingrown toenails, hard skin, calluses, and other skin conditions can cause discomfort and make everyday activities more difficult. A professional assessment can help determine their cause and the most appropriate treatment.

Gait and foot placement

The way we place our feet and walk can be related to certain types of discomfort or injury. When gait abnormalities are present, an individualized assessment can help evaluate how they affect the patient and what measures may be necessary.

Pain and discomfort

Foot pain can appear for different reasons and doesn’t always have the same cause. Identifying the cause is important in order to establish appropriate treatment and prevent the problem from persisting or getting worse.

We provide personalized care for your feet

Each person has their own characteristics and needs. That’s why, at Centro Médico Global, we are committed to individualized care, assessing the condition of the feet and the circumstances of each patient.

Our goal is to help you maintain healthy, functional feet, paying attention both to current discomfort and to preventing future problems.

We perform ultrasounds to diagnose conditions.

Prevention is also important

Taking regular care of your feet can help detect issues before they cause significant discomfort. Wearing suitable footwear, maintaining proper hygiene, and paying attention to changes in the skin, nails, or the way you walk are some basic aspects of foot care.

If you experience persistent pain or any condition that concerns you, a professional assessment can help determine the cause of the problem.
