Cracked heels can be unsightly, painful and bring a risk of infection, especially to higher risk patients such as those with diabetes.

​

The cause of the cracking (fissures) can be related to footwear choices, aging, tinea, obesity, psoriasis, eczema, long periods of standing, and the conditions our feet are exposed to (dry/cold climate).

​

Our podiatrists are skilled in removing these cracks via debridement. They will also determine the cause of the heel cracking and guide you with a plan for ongoing maintenance to stop them from reoccurring.
