If you are over 40 years old, do not ignore pain in your legs or feet while walking especially in cold weather.
It may be a symptom of peripheral arterial disease (PAD ); a silent disease which can lead to stroke or heart attack but can be easily detected and treated. The highly qualified Podiatrists in Galway Podiatry Clinic, 34 Upper Abbeygate St, are always on the look out for any sign of PAD. They will conduct a thorough vascular and neurological assessment in less than half an hour and give you a print-out of the results to bring home or to show to your GP if a problem is detected.
They will explain the whole process, show you diagrams of your arteries, veins and nerves in the leg and foot, and enable you to maintain your foot health and explain what to do if you have any foot problem. All assessments are painless and non-invasive, and you will be amazed at how much information can be gathered about your heart health from your feet.
We owe it to ourselves to take care of our feet as we expect them to walk over one million steps per year. At Galway Podiatry Clinic the very experienced Podiatrists treat the usual corns, callus and ingrowing toenails but also supply orthotic insoles for other painful conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis, Forefoot Pain, Achilles Pain and Hyperpronation.
Ring 091 564417 to make an appointment Mon-Sat 8am – 5pm. Full Vascular Assessment only for €50 during October 2023.
