A Podiatrist is a medically trained clinician whose expertise is focused on treating the foot, ankle and lower extremity.
Firefly Foot & Ankle Clinics’ podiatrists are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and are members of The Society of Chiropodists & Podiatrist of Ireland and/or the UK alternative, The Society of Chiropodists & Podiatrists.
With the exception of nail surgery, Podiatrists use non-surgical methods of treatment. At Firefly we specialise in the treating of various conditions affecting the lower extremity using custom made foot orthoses, but only where necessary.
In many cases, a patient's condition can be treated by prescribing strength and conditioning exercises that are designed to build core foot strength to treat current or prevent future injury.
