Podiatry in Vila do Conde
Specialised foot care — prevention, treatment of skin and nail conditions, gait biomechanics assessment and custom insoles.
What it is
Podiatry is dedicated to foot health, an area often overlooked until discomfort sets in. We treat skin and nail conditions, assess the way each person walks, and prescribe custom insoles when indicated.
Every appointment starts with a careful examination — skin, nails, posture, gait. Treatments are carried out with dedicated technique and instruments, in a clinical setting.
