Regular care helps prevent this, while also keeping your feet in good condition long term. 👉 Book online here or call 01223 633 038.
What Does Routine Foot Care Include?
Our routine foot care appointments focus on maintaining the health of your feet rather than treating complex or specialist conditions. A typical appointment may involve careful nail trimming, reduction of callus, and removal of corns where needed.
We also manage nails that have become thickened, uneven, or difficult to cut. These issues are common and can be uncomfortable without regular attention. Treatment is always tailored to your needs, with advice provided to help keep your feet comfortable between visits.
Accessible Foot and Nail Care Appointments
We aim to make attending your appointment as easy and accessible as possible. There is free on-site shared parking available at our clinic, including an accessible parking space directly outside the entrance. The clinic hosts three accessible ground-floor treatment rooms and ground floor toilet facilities, making it suitable for patients with reduced mobility or those who require step-free access.

Routine Foot and Nail Care Options in Cambridge
The following routine foot care options are available at Cutting Edge Podiatry:
Simple Nail Cutting and General Nail Care
If you need help cutting your toenails, why not book a simple nail cutting appointment with our resident Foot Health Practitioner? It is a more affordable option than booking with a podiatrist.
Difficult & Thickened Toenails
Thickened or damaged nails are a common issue and can be challenging to manage without professional care. These nails may become uncomfortable in footwear or difficult to cut safely at home. Routine foot care can improve comfort and make a difference in keeping nails manageable. If the cause turns out to be a fungal nail infection, we can help with that too.
Corns and Callus Treatment
Areas of hard skin can build up over time due to pressure and friction. While this may seem minor initially, it can become uncomfortable or painful if not treated.
We carefully reduce callus and remove corns where appropriate, helping to relieve pressure and improve comfort when walking. We also provide guidance on how to reduce recurrence.
Curacorn is an advanced treatment that uses a specialised gel injection beneath the skin to cushion pressure points, reducing pain and helping prevent recurring corns and calluses.

Frequently Asked Questions About Routine Foot Care
Should I see a Podiatrist or a Foot Health Practitioner?
A Foot Health Practitioner can help with routine foot care and maintenance. This includes treatments such as nail cutting, reduction of callus, corn care, and basic management of thickened toenails. This is a good option if you are looking for regular, straightforward foot care at a more affordable price.
However, Foot Health Practitioners do not treat more complex conditions such as foot pain, musculoskeletal issues, fungal infections, or nail surgery. If you have a more complicated concern, a podiatrist will be the most appropriate clinician to assess and treat you.
How much does routine foot and nail care cost?
Do I need routine foot care if I can cut my own nails?
Not necessarily, but many people still choose professional care for comfort, prevention, and reassurance – especially if problems tend to recur.
Is your clinic accessible?
Yes, our clinic is designed to be easily accessible. We offer free on-site parking at 255 Barnwell Road, including an accessible parking space directly outside the entrance. All treatment rooms are located on the ground-floor, and we also have ground-floor toilet facilities, making visits straightforward for patients with reduced mobility or those needing step-free access.
I think I have a verruca, do I need to see a podiatrist?
Yes, verrucae should be assessed and treated by a podiatrist rather than a Foot Health Practitioner. Verrucae can become painful, spread, and persist for a long time if not managed appropriately, so a proper diagnosis and treatment plan is important.
At Cutting Edge Podiatry, we offer a range of verruca treatments depending on the size, location, and how long it has been present. These include advanced options such as SWIFT microwave therapy, K-laser treatment, Cryotherapy, and Faulkner’s Needling, as well as more traditional treatments like cryotherapy and topical acids.
Your podiatrist will explain the options available and recommend the most suitable approach for your individual case.
I think I have a fungal nail infection. Do I need to see a podiatrist?
Yes, if you suspect you may have a fungal nail infection, it should be assessed by a podiatrist rather than a Foot Health Practitioner. Changes such as thickening, discolouration, or crumbling nails can have different causes, so an accurate diagnosis is important before starting treatment.
Fungal nail infections can be difficult to treat and often do not resolve on their own, so early assessment gives you the best chance of successful treatment.
At Cutting Edge Podiatry, we offer a range of treatment options depending on the severity and type of infection. These include the Poderm Method, K-Laser Therapy, and Clearanail.
