✂️ Did you know that the way you cut your toenails could be causing you pain?
Incorrect nail cutting is the number one cause of ingrown toenails — and most people don't even realise they're doing it wrong!
Here's what to remember:
✅ Always cut straight across — never in a curve
✅ Leave a small amount of white nail visible
❌ Never dig down the sides — this is how ingrown nails start
If you already have an ingrown toenail or are unsure about the right technique, don't try to fix it at home. Our podiatrist at Clinic One96 can treat the problem safely and show you exactly how to prevent it from coming back.

Living with bunions? Your shoes could be your best friend—or your worst enemy. 👟👠

If you have a bunion, squeezing your foot into narrow, pointed-toe shoes will only increase friction, pain, and joint deformity. Here is our top advice for bunion-friendly footwear:
✅ Look for a wide toe box: Your toes need room to wiggle without being squished together.
✅ Choose soft materials: Leather or mesh that stretches can accommodate the bump without rubbing.
✅ Avoid high heels: Heels push your body weight forward, putting immense pressure on the bunion joint.
✅ Consider arch support: Good support helps distribute weight evenly across your foot.

Struggling to find comfortable shoes? We can help assess your foot mechanics and recommend the best options for you.

Noticing a painful bump at the base of your big toe? 🦶

That bump is likely a bunion (Hallux Valgus), causing the big toe to pull inward towards the smaller toes. This forces the joint at the base of your big toe to stick out.

Bunions can make wearing normal shoes incredibly painful and can lead to other issues like corns and calluses. While genetics play a big role, wearing tight, narrow shoes can make them worse.

Don't let bunion pain dictate your footwear or your life. At Clinic One96, we can assess the severity of your bunion and recommend treatments ranging from footwear advice and padding to custom orthotics to relieve the pressure.

Book an assessment with us today by calling 79489395.

Are your heels feeling dry, rough, and cracked? ️

Cracked heels (heel fissures) are more than just a cosmetic issue.

When the skin around your heel becomes dry and thick, it loses its elasticity. As you walk and put pressure on the heel, the hard skin splits.

If left untreated, these cracks can become deep, painful, and even bleed, opening the door to infections.

How to help prevent them:
💧 Moisturise daily.
👡 Avoid wearing open-backed shoes or walking barefoot for long periods.
🩺 See a Podiatrist for further assessment and advice.
