Corns & Callus

Understanding Corns and Calluses

Corns and calluses are thickened layers of skin that develop in response to repeated friction or pressure. Corns tend to develop over focal pressure points like bone and are usually small, round, and raised. Callus tends to form over a wider area like your heels and are often flaky and cracked. While calluses can have a protective function for your feet, they can lead to pain and irritation. A corn or callus can become infected, particularly if you have a health condition such as diabetes.

At Feet and Motion we are solution focused. At your appointment we don’t just treat the symptoms, but look at preventative care by addressing the causes of your calluses and corns. We will advise you on proactive steps you can take – such as changes to your footwear, skincare, and orthotics – so that we can help you manage and maintain healthier, more comfortable feet in the future.

Feet and Motion offers comprehensive assessments using Footscan digital pressure plate analysis. This advanced technology helps identify pressure points and abnormalities in your feet. Based on the results, we can create custom orthotics designed to alleviate pressure and provide support, ensuring effective treatment and prevention.
