CuracornÂŽ Treatment at Feet First Podiatry Clinic
CuracornÂŽ is an advanced treatment designed to remove painful corns at their core and significantly reduce the likelihood of them returning. Unlike standard corn removal, which often provides only short-term relief, CuracornÂŽ targets the source of the corn to deliver longer-lasting results.
Feet First Podiatry Clinic is one of only a small number of clinics in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire offering this advanced treatment, making it a unique option for patients struggling with recurrent or deeply painful corns.
What CuracornÂŽ is Used For
CuracornÂŽ is suitable for:
- Painful hard corns
- Recurrent corns that return quickly after routine treatment
- Deep corns causing sharp or pressure-related pain
- Corns affecting walking or standing
Corns between the toes or on pressure points - Corns caused by toe deformity or pressure
CuracornÂŽ is not suitable for callus or verrucae, which require different treatment approaches.
How CuracornÂŽ Works
CuracornÂŽ works by:
- Precisely targeting the core of the corn
- Breaking down hardened tissue at its source
- Reducing pressure and pain
- Helping prevent rapid regrowth
By addressing the corn at its origin, CuracornÂŽ offers a potentially permanent solution when combined with appropriate pressure management.
What the Treatment Involves
- Assessment to confirm the lesion is a corn
- Careful removal of surrounding hard skin
- Application of CuracornÂŽ directly to the corn core
- Protective dressing applied
- Advice on footwear and pressure reduction
Treatment is quick and performed during your appointment.
Aftercare and Recovery
- Normal walking is usually possible immediately
- Mild tenderness may be felt for a short time
- Dressings should be kept in place as advised
- Pressure relief and footwear advice help improve results
Follow-up may be recommended depending on severity and cause.
Why Corns Keep Coming Back
Corns often recur due to ongoing pressure from:
- Toe deformities
- Tight or poorly fitting footwear
- Foot posture or biomechanics
- Abnormal pressure points
CuracornÂŽ works best when combined with footwear advice, padding or orthoses to address the underlying cause.
