General Podiatry

General podiatry is the foundation of everything we do at Roshan's Foot Care. It covers the routine, preventive side of foot health that most people in Pakistan never think about until something goes wrong — thickened nails, hard skin, mild aches, or a change in the way a foot looks or feels. Since 1985, our clinic in F-8 Markaz, Islamabad has been the trusted address for families who want their feet looked after by a qualified professional rather than guesswork at home.

A general podiatry visit at our clinic typically includes a full visual and manual assessment of both feet: skin condition, nail health, arch type, circulation, sensation, and gait (the way you walk). For people over 40, for anyone with diabetes, and for people who spend long hours standing or walking on Islamabad's hard pavements and Rawalpindi's markets, this simple check can catch problems early — long before they turn into an infection, an ulcer, or a painful deformity.

Why Pakistani feet need special attention

Our climate and lifestyle create foot problems that are different from what you'll read about in Western foot-care guides. Open sandals and chappal in the heat, closed leather shoes in winter, walking barefoot at home and in mosques, humid monsoon months, dusty roads, and long hours of standing for shopkeepers, teachers, and household staff all add up. Add Pakistan's high rate of diabetes and you have a population that genuinely needs regular, professional foot care — not just when there is pain, but as routine maintenance, the same way people visit a dentist.

What we check during a general podiatry visit

Nail health and thickness, hard skin and callus build-up, cracked heels, skin colour and temperature (a sign of circulation), foot arch and pressure points, early signs of fungal infection, and correct footwear fit. We also screen for early diabetic foot changes and refer or treat as needed. Ms. Salma Roshan, who trained and practised in the UK before returning to lead this clinic, brings a BSYA-recognised non-surgical foot care specialisation to every consultation, combined with decades of hands-on Pakistani clinical experience passed down from the clinic's founder, the late Roshan Ali.

Who should book a general podiatry check-up

Anyone noticing thickened or discoloured nails, anyone with diabetes or poor circulation, elderly patients who can no longer reach or see their own feet clearly, people who stand all day at work, and parents wanting a baseline foot health check for growing children. Regular check-ups every few months are the single most effective way to prevent almost every other condition on this page from becoming serious.
