What is a podiatrist?

A podiatrist is a specialized healthcare professional who offers comprehensive care, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation for patients' feet. These specialists possess the expertise to identify foot-related ailments at an early stage and provide treatment using state-of-the-art equipment available at the FORTEMED clinic, ensuring comfortable and thorough foot care.

Contemporary treatment methods have made it possible to easily address issues such as diabetic foot, hyperkeratosis, ingrown toenails, and warts. A visit to a podiatrist can significantly enhance your well-being, quality of life, and self-esteem by addressing various foot care concerns.

FORTEMED podiatrists work closely with dermatologists, surgeons and traumatologists-orthopedics of the medical center to ensure the most effective and fastest diagnosis and treatment of foot diseases. For example, if the size of a corn, wart or other formation does not allow to eliminate it with podological means, then the patient is referred to dermatologists for cryo, laser or coagulation formation destruction.

A timely visit to a podiatrist can help avoid many problems in the future, as a specialist can identify many diseases at an early stage that the patient may not even know about. Be sure not to delay your visit to the doctor if you have an ingrown toenail or a fungal infection.

In addition, it is worth remembering that the feet are exposed to a lot of stress, so they need special care and attention. Take the time to check their condition!
 

Nail correction with clip technology

Deformed toenails, commonly referred to as 'ingrown' toenails, are a prevalent issue causing significant discomfort and pain. They can restrict your choice of footwear and hinder your mobility. When the sides of the nail press into the nail bed, it leads to inflammation, swelling, and sometimes even an elevated temperature. In severe cases, it can result in soft tissue inflammation, osteomyelitis, or even blood poisoning (sepsis).

We offer a world-renowned yet relatively underutilized method in Latvia – nail correction using clip technology. This modern and innovative procedure is painless and suitable for all patient groups. It effectively addresses common nail growth and health problems.

This method offers an excellent alternative to surgical nail treatment. It is a fast, effective, and painless solution without the need for surgical intervention.

Once the clamp is applied, it significantly reduces or completely eliminates the traumatic pressure on the nail plate. It gently corrects the direction of nail growth, reducing the load on the sidewall, and alleviating discomfort and pain. The unique design of the clamp ensures that the nail grows forward, achieving the correct, or physiological, shape. What sets this method apart is that the clamp is tailored to the natural shape of the nail, allowing for unrestricted movement.
 

At the FORTEMED Medical Center, we utilize advanced Podostrip clamps, the result of extensive scientific research and already proven effective in treating millions of nails.
 

Please note that during the treatment, which may span several months, it is crucial to strictly adhere to the podiatrist's recommendations regarding shoe selection and the duration of wearing them.
