Home visit podiatrist in Tweed Heads
If getting to a clinic has become hard work, the podiatry can come to you. We treat people in their own homes across Tweed Heads and the surrounding suburbs — the same assessment and the same treatment you would get in a clinic, in the comfort of your own home, without the parking, the stairs or the wait.
What a home visit involves
We start with the assessment, not the nail clippers. We check pulses and circulation, test sensation, look at the skin and nails, and watch how the foot is loading. The treatment follows from what that shows — nails reduced, corns and callus cleared, pressure relieved — and we leave you with the feet comfortable and a plan for next time. We bring everything: sterile instruments, a nail drill for thickened nails, and a portable chair if there is nowhere suitable to sit.
Who this suits
People who cannot bend to reach their feet. People with diabetes who need their feet checked properly. Anyone who has had a fall, or whose eyesight or grip makes nail care unsafe. Family members who have been trimming a parent's nails and would rather it was done by someone registered to do it.
How often people book
Most people settle into a visit every six to eight weeks. Some need it monthly, some twice a year. There is no contract and no minimum — we work out what your feet actually need.
Common questions
- Do you bring everything with you?
- Yes. Sterile instruments for every visit, a nail drill for thickened nails, dressings, and a portable chair if there is nowhere suitable to sit.
- Do I need a referral?
- No. You can book directly. A referral is only needed if you are claiming through Medicare's chronic disease plan or DVA, and your GP arranges that.
- How far do you travel?
- Tweed Heads, Banora Point, Terranora, Kingscliff, Coolangatta, Pottsville, Cabarita and Murwillumbah. If you are just outside that, ring and ask.
