​Katie Nilan Podiatry offers excellent personalised services in the following areas:

​Ingrown Toenails

At Katie Nilan Podiatry, we treat ingrown toenails on a daily basis. We are known for our attention to detail and gentle touch.
​
Ingrown toenails occur when a sharp splinter of nail starts to penetrate the surrounding skin tissue causing severe pain, swelling, redness and in more severe cases a pussy discharge. This problem commonly occurs in the big toe but smaller toes can be affected as well.

If the problem is recurring, Katie is skilled to perform a partial nail avulsion, a procedure where a section of the nail is permanently removed under anaesthetic conditions.

​Fungal Infections

Fungal nail and skin infections can be painful, unsightly and may take many months or years to resolve.
​
Up to 70% of people will suffer from athlete’s foot during their lifetime. The most common feature of a fungal skin infection is red or pink skin discolouration (rash) which shows signs of flaking, splitting or blistering. The area is usually itchy. Fungal skin infections have the possibility to spreading into the nails resulting in nails that are thickened, discoloured and crumbly. Don’t be embarrassed to take your shoes off, book in with Katie Nilan Podiatry today and stop the cycle of your fungal foot or nail infection today.​

Dry Needling

​Katie had completed a post graduate training in dry needling  and performs dry needling on a daily basis as an alternate (and wonderfully effective) treatment modality.

​Dry needling is the westernized equivalent of acupuncture. We use tiny needles to release tight or overworked muscles that have developed a trigger point. Research has shown that dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, promotes increased blood flow resulting in a speedy recovery and faster return to the activities you love doing.
