Achilles pain or Achilles tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis is pain on the back of the heel. This is often described as stiffness, pain or a pulling sensation. The main cause of this pain includes incorrect footwear.
Athlete’s Foot
Skin infection caused by a fungal infection causing itching, scaling, cracking, redness and blistering. This is most commonly seen between the toes and soles of the feet.
Bunion discomfort or pain
A bunion forms when the big toe angles towards the second toe, causing a ‘bump’ that forms on the side of the big toe. The main causes of bunions include family history, footwear and wear and tear.
Corns and calluses
Corns and calluses are areas of dead, hard and toughened skin which can cause a great deal of discomfort and pain. Corns and calluses occur on bony areas that are subjected to high pressure and friction.

Ingrown Toenails
Minor ingrown toenails can be removed without anaesthetic. Severe ingrown toenails may require the use of local anaesthetic, and if the ingrown nail keeps re-occurring, a nail surgery may be required.
Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia is a common foot condition that affects the ball of the foot, specifically the bones and joints in the metatarsal region. Individuals with metatarsalgia often experience discomfort and pain behind the toes, impacting their daily activities and quality of life.
Morton’s Neuroma
Morton’s neuroma is a condition where a nerve becomes thickened due to irritation and compression, specifically occurring in the nerves that run between the toes of the feet. This can lead to sensations of numbness, tingling, pins and needles, burning, and shooting pain around the toe areas. It is commonly observed in middle-aged women and can affect individuals with flat feet and high-arched feet.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis, commonly known as heel pain, is a condition that impacts the plantar fascia, a crucial fiber band stretching from the heel to the balls of the feet. This elastic bridge serves as a shock absorber, supporting the arch of your feet. However, when the plantar fascia experiences tension or stress, it can lead to micro-tears, often concentrated near the heel, resulting in plantar fasciitis.
Shockwave Therapy
At Atwell Podiatry, we are excited to offer shockwave therapy as an innovative treatment option. This cutting-edge therapy involves the application of pressure waves to areas experiencing chronic pain. These waves stimulate a healing response within your body, promoting bone, tendon, and soft tissue regeneration and repair.
