Chris Pocklington is a podiatric surgeon and a general podiatrist based in West Leederville, WA. He works out of 28 McCourt Street, West Leederville WA 6007, and helps people with everyday foot and ankle problems that can build up over time.
Foot issues are more common than most people think, and they can make day-to-day life hard. At times, pain starts small, like sore spots from pressure, a thick patch of skin, or a nail that feels a bit “off”. In other cases, problems come on suddenly, such as an ingrown toenail that becomes red, tender, and uncomfortable.
Chris provides foot and ankle exams to look at what’s going on and work out the best next step. The goal is to get things calm and moving in the right direction, whether the problem is mainly in the skin, the nails, or around the foot and ankle joints.
One of the most common reasons people book in is ingrown toenail treatment. Chris looks after painful nail edges and helps with treatment options to reduce irritation and help the nail settle. This is especially useful for people who have had repeated flare-ups, or who find that simple care at home is not quite enough.
He also treats corns and calluses, which can be caused by pressure, rubbing, or the way weight goes through the foot. When corns or calluses get thick, they can become sore with walking or standing. Chris offers corns and calluses removal to help take the pressure off and make shoes feel more comfortable again.
Plantar warts can be another big issue. They can be hard to ignore because they often hurt when you step down, and they can hang around for months. Chris provides plantar wart treatment, focusing on practical care to help manage the problem and reduce pain.
Care at the clinic is about being clear, calm, and straightforward. Chris tends to explain what’s likely going on and what can be done next, so patients know what to expect. Many people come in just wanting relief from foot pain, and others need support to stop a small issue turning into something bigger.
