Upper Hutt Foot Clinic is a podiatry practice at the Health Centre on Sinclair Street in Ebdentown, Upper Hutt, with more information on its website, upperhuttfootclinic.co.nz. A good podiatrist does far more than trim nails: they diagnose and treat problems like plantar fasciitis, ingrown toenails, bunions, heel pain and sports injuries, and they keep a close eye on the feet of people with diabetes, where small issues can quickly become serious. Expect a first visit to include a chat about your health history, watching you walk, and a look at your footwear, since shoes are often the culprit. In New Zealand you can book directly without a GP referral, and ACC may help cover injury-related treatment. Regulars tend to see a podiatrist every so often rather than only in a crisis, catching small problems early. For Upper Hutt walkers, runners and workers alike, the clinic sits handy in Ebdentown for exactly that kind of care.
