A common question is which podiatry appointment should I choose, especially if you have never been to Zest Podiatry & Physio. Are you are new to the area? Have you been having regular foot care elsewhere? Do you have a new query or are you after some help? We offer a number of appointments in order to get you to the right clinician. Here are some questions to help you determine what you need.

1. Do you know what type of podiatry appointment you are looking for?

• General podiatry

2. If you are unsure about which type of appointment you need 

An initial podiatry appointment includes nail management (cutting and filing) corns and callus removal, ingrowing toenails and bacterial infections, skin and nail fungal infections, and verruca treatments.

MSK (musculoskeletal) refers to soft tissue such as muscles, tendons and ligaments, and also bones and joints. An MSK podiatrist diagnoses and treats injuries and conditions of these structures.
