We love your feet!

Nestled in the heart of Merivale, Christchurch, Merivale Podiatry is dedicated to caring for your feet.

We love feet and we’re here for every step - from injury assessment and diagnosis to recovery and the prevention of future problems.

Led by Sophie Walls, our team of experienced podiatrists love providing care for our patients. We work with infectious enthusiasm and dedication - there’s no issue too big or too small for our team.

We specialise in feet. We can help with general footcare, ingrown toenails, cosmetic nail restoration, dance and sports podiatry. We're committed to getting you back on your feet, pain free, as soon as possible.

As a podiatry team we love learning so that we can bring you the best care. Our podiatrists consult and collaborate with specialist medical professionals from around the country and stay up to date with the most recent medical research and educational resources.

We look forward to welcoming you (and your feet) to our clinic or we can work with you via Telehealth from the comfort of your home through our mobile podiatrist service.

Arthritis encompasses a large number of auto-immune conditions that affect joints. 

You’ve probably heard of the common ones: Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Lower limb and feet symptoms include joint pain and tenderness, swelling and inflammation, redness, creaking in your joints, restrictions to movement and feeling as if you’re walking on broken glass. Arthritis can even change the shape of your joints and feet over time. 

But what you might not know is just how much a podiatrist specialising in podiatric rheumatology can help.
