YOUR FEET - INDICATORS OF HEALTH

Because they are so far away from our heart, problems with our feet are often the first indication that something is wrong with our circulation.

The condition of our toenails can also signal the presence of several diseases. For example, toenails that are thin, curve upwards, or have raised ridges on the surface can indicate iron deficiency or anemia (a shortage of iron carried by the blood). Increased nail thickness; or bumps on the nail; may be manifestations of psoriasis, an inherited skin condition.

The podiatrists at The Hunter Foot Clinic will check the condition of your toenails and help you understand the health implications of their appearance and will provide a range of treatments for any toenail problems.
