A CURE FOR CORNS
The Coventry Foot Clinic are now offering Curacorn
Frequently asked questions
Curacorn® is a revolutionary technique using a sterile gel injection to cushion painful corns or pressure areas in the foot from inside the skin.
The procedure can eliminate the need for bulky padding or frequent visits to your podiatrist.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
The majority of patients see an improvement after just 1 treatment, some may require more than that.
Your individual treatment plan will be explained by your podiatrist during your initial assessment.
DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK ON ALL CORNS?
All corns or calluses form as a result of pressure from within the skin where the boney structures below rub the inner layers of the dermis. By injecting a sterile cushion between these layers, Curacorn can eliminate the skin’s reaction to the pressure & callus does not form.
PLEASE NOTE : YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO ATTEND A CONSULTATION WITH YOUR CURACORN PODIATRIST PRIOR TO TREATMENT TO ASSESS YOUR SUITABILITY .
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
A Curacorn treatment usually takes the same time as your routine podiatry treatment although larger areas may require more time. Your podiatrist will discuss your individual requirements with you.
IS THIS TREATMENT SUCCESSFUL?
Curacorn is used in many countries around the world with high levels of success. It has been shown to drastically reduce reoccurance of stubborn corns & calluses. Every corn is unique, your podiatrist will discuss what you can expect from your treatment & how much gel will be needed to create a sufficient cushion inside the skin for you. Following Curacorn you will be asked to refrain from putting any pressure on the treated area for 48 hours. Keep the foot dry for 24 hours.
CAN I DRIVE AFTER THE TREATMENT?
A small amount of local anaesthetic will be administered prior to your treatment to ensure the maximum comfort during the procedure. Driving with anaesthetic in the foot is not permitted.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CURACORN?
Curacorn can replace the need for padding or toe protectors which are unhygienic & bulky in the shoes. After treatment your corn may not form as quickly & could disappear all-together. Less podiatry clinic visits for callus removal, less pain, saving you money & time.
CAN UNDER 18‘S HAVE THIS TREATMENT?
Treatment is restricted to patients over 18 years of age unless authorised by a doctor/ consultant. In patients below 18 the podiatrist will discuss your case with the doctor prior to proceeding.
