SPECIALTIES

Podiatric surgery

Anatomical correction of structural changes resulting from biomechanical alterations provided they do not require hospital admission (minor surgery) (service we hope to provide medium term).

Techniques

– Infiltration
It involves introducing a liquid into the interior of the human body, where the
injury requires. There are many substances that can infiltrate: serum
physiological, dextrose, corticosteroids, anesthetics,… and that can be combined with each other
to get the best result.
There is a type of infiltration: hydrodissection, which is used in certain cases
of neuropathy (mainly those derived from compression of the tibial nerve
(tarsal tunnel syndrome).

– Biopsy
It consists of the extraction of tissue from the human body in order to examine it and
determine or not the presence of disease.

– Ultrasound
The use of the ultrasound machine facilitates both the diagnosis of foot pathology and the
treatment in those techniques that are invasive (infiltrations and puncture
mainly).

Chiropody

Covers both the surgical treatment of an injury or the treatment of skin diseases or disorders of the skin and appendages. (Onicocriptosis, onychomycosis, superficial infections …).

In the presence of nail lesions, it is possible to culture them and
thus determine the origin of the injury.

Orthopodology

The podiatrist, after a complete biomechanical examination, can make fully customized plantar orthoses (insoles) using for this different techniques and materials. The aim is to respond to different pathomechanical situations of each patient.

Diabetic foot

The diabetic patient may end up developing pathology derived from the chronic complications of diabetes, which is known as Diabetic Foot. Due to the seriousness of this pathology, it is recommended that all diabetic patients go through the consultation of the podiatrist, either as prevention for the development of diabetic foot, diabetological education and / or treatment of the lesions presented.

Children's foot

During the development and growth of children, it is fundamental that the feet, as a base of support, work correctly. If deficiencies are observed during the march, it is advisable to visit the podiatrist.

Likewise, boys and girls usually present skin problems derived from infections (usually due to papova virus: developing warts) and ungueales due to poor cutting of the nails (onychocryptosis).
