Treatments

What we can help with

Every visit starts with an assessment, so your practitioner can confirm what is suitable and explain when another clinical service may be more appropriate.

Toenail cutting and routine nail care

Professional nail care for people who find cutting their toenails difficult, whether because of reach, eyesight, grip or flexibility.

During your visit

  • Toenails trimmed and filed to a comfortable, safer length
  • Surrounding skin checked for pressure or irritation
  • Routine skin care added where suitable

Good to know: Regular appointments help keep nails manageable between visits.

Thickened or difficult nails

Conservative reduction of thick, ridged or awkward toenails that press into footwear or are hard to cut safely at home.

During your visit

  • Length and bulk reduced where appropriate
  • Practical advice for comfort in shoes
  • Guidance on when another assessment may be sensible

Good to know: Routine nail care improves comfort but does not diagnose or treat every underlying cause, such as a fungal infection.

Corns

Assessment and careful treatment for small, focused areas of hard skin that feel sharp or tender under pressure.

During your visit

  • The painful area assessed and reduced where appropriate
  • An explanation of how it differs from callus or other skin concerns
  • Footwear and pressure-relief advice

Good to know: Please do not cut a corn out yourself, especially if you have diabetes or reduced sensation.

Callus removal

Careful reduction of localised callus caused by repeated pressure or friction, often under the ball of the foot or around the toes.

During your visit

  • Thickened skin reduced where suitable
  • Likely pressure sources talked through
  • Ways to manage build-up between appointments

Good to know: If an area looks unusual or is very painful, you will be advised to seek appropriate medical support.

Hard skin treatment

Reduction of rough, thickened skin on heels, the balls of the feet and other pressure points that makes shoes and walking uncomfortable.

During your visit

  • Hard skin reduced where appropriate
  • Contributing factors checked, such as footwear fit and dry skin
  • Moisturising and pressure advice for between visits

Good to know: Hard skin often returns while the same pressure continues, so routine care is usually the most effective approach.

Cracked heels

Care for dry, hard or split heel skin, with a simple routine to help keep heels comfortable.

During your visit

  • Heel skin assessed and surrounding hard skin reduced
  • Practical moisturising and aftercare guidance
  • Advice on footwear that supports heel comfort

Good to know: Severe or complicated fissures may need medical support as well as routine foot care.

Foot-health checks

Skin, nail, circulation and sensation observations as part of your appointment, where clinically appropriate. Diabetic foot observations are included.

During your visit

  • Changes spotted early and explained clearly
  • Practical everyday foot-care advice
  • Signposting to a podiatrist, GP or other service when needed

Good to know: Foot+ does not diagnose medical conditions or provide emergency care.

Your safety

When we’ll point you elsewhere

Foot+ provides routine foot care. We do not diagnose medical conditions or provide emergency care, and we will always explain when a podiatrist, GP, urgent or emergency service is the right next step.

Foot Health Practitioner, podiatrist or chiropodist?

Seek medical advice first for

  • Wounds, ulcers or broken skin that is not healing
  • Signs of infection, such as heat, spreading redness or discharge
  • Sudden colour change, swelling or severe pain
  • Acute diabetic foot concerns

Questions

Before you book

Can’t see your question? Call 07380 301555.

Is a Foot Health Practitioner the same as a podiatrist?

No. Podiatrist and chiropodist are protected titles in the UK, regulated through HCPC registration. Foot+ practitioners are qualified Foot Health Practitioners who provide routine nail and skin care at home, and will explain when a concern needs a podiatrist or another service.

How much does a home visit cost?

A new patient appointment is £60 and a routine appointment is £55. Travel within central Bristol is included; any wider-area supplement is confirmed before booking.

Can a carer or relative attend?

Yes. A relative, carer or support worker is welcome when this helps the patient feel comfortable or supports communication and practical arrangements.

Can a visit be adapted for anxiety or additional needs?

Yes. Tell us about relevant communication, sensory, mobility or anxiety-related needs when enquiring so the appointment can be planned at an appropriate pace.

What if my concern needs podiatry or medical care?

Foot+ will explain when a concern appears outside routine foot-health scope and advise seeking an appropriate podiatry, GP, urgent or emergency service.
