What causes foot problems?
Foot problems are often caused by abnormal mechanical stress, meaning the way your foot moves places excessive pressure on certain areas.This stress can affect both the internal structures of the foot and the surface of the skin, leading to problems such as:
In many cases, these visible symptoms are not the root issue — they are often the result of underlying biomechanical problems.
​
Why is FootHouse different?
We treat the cause not just the symptoms, Traditional podiatry is highly effective at managing skin and nail conditions. However, many foot problems are caused by how the foot functions. Without addressing these mechanical factors, issues like corns, callus, and painful toes may continue to cause pain.
Our approach aims to both provide relief from painful corns, callus, ingrown toenails, thick nails as well as delivering long term correction of the underlying cause. At FootHouse, we go further. We combine clinical podiatry with advanced biomechanics and gait analysis to:
-
Identify potential underlying cause of your problem
-
Reduce abnormal stress on your foot
-
Support both symptom management and long-term improvement
