Conditions We Treat
At Step First Podiatry, we treat a comprehensive range of foot and lower limb conditions. Early intervention prevents minor problems from becoming long-term issues.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can cause significant pain, swelling and infection. We provide conservative treatment as well as nail surgery where required. Our approach focuses on long-term resolution rather than temporary relief.
Bunions
Bunions can lead to joint pain, shoe discomfort and progressive deformity. We assess gait, pressure distribution and footwear, and provide tailored advice and treatment options.
Corns and Calluses
Thickened skin develops due to pressure and friction. Professional removal reduces pain and improves comfort when walking. Regular podiatry care prevents recurrence.
Verrucae
We offer advanced verruca treatment including Swift microwave therapy, a modern solution designed to stimulate the body’s immune response.
Fungal Nail Infections
Discoloured, thickened nails are often caused by fungal infection. We assess severity and offer appropriate treatment plans to restore nail health.
Athlete’s Foot
This common fungal skin condition causes itching, redness and cracking. Prompt treatment prevents spread and secondary infection.
Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain
Heel pain can significantly impact daily life. We assess biomechanical causes and use evidence-based approaches to reduce inflammation and support healing.
Hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating of the feet can cause discomfort, odour and skin breakdown. We provide management strategies and practical treatment solutions.
Advanced Technology for Better Outcomes
We believe in embracing technology to improve patient outcomes. Our clinic invests in:
- Swift microwave therapy
- Laser treatments
- Foot scan technology
- Curacorn and specialist instrumentation
This modern approach allows us to treat conditions efficiently and with precision. Many patients choose us because we offer advanced options not widely available in the area.

Foot problems rarely resolve without intervention. Delaying treatment can lead to:
- Increased pain
- Infection risk
- Altered walking patterns
- Knee, hip or back pain
As a HCPC registered podiatrist in St Helens, we provide clinically safe, regulated care in line with UK standards.
