Professional podiatry care in Valencia. Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of foot and ankle conditions, with ongoing care in Almenara. Appointments available with a personalised assessment.
Podiatry is the healthcare discipline concerned with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of foot and ankle conditions. A podiatrist in Valencia treats problems ranging from nail disorders, such as ingrown toenails, fungal infections or deformities, to foot skin conditions, such as corns, calluses, plantar warts or cracked heels.
Beyond the skin and nails, podiatry also covers biomechanical and structural disorders of the foot. This includes gait problems that cause pain in the heel, the arch of the foot or the knee, as well as deformities such as hallux valgus or claw toes. Dr Koziy assesses each case individually to determine the most appropriate treatment.
Paediatric and sports care are equally essential areas. Children may have gait problems or foot development issues that need to be detected early, whilst athletes frequently suffer from overuse, plantar fasciitis or impact injuries. Care for diabetic feet also requires regular check-ups to prevent ulcers and serious complications.
Dr Cristina Koziy treats a wide range of foot and ankle problems. The main treatments available at her practice are described below, with links to detailed information on each one.
Onychocryptosis, or ingrown toenails, is one of the most common conditions in podiatry. It causes pain, inflammation and infection at the side of the nail, and without proper treatment tends to become chronic. Dr Koziy uses conservative techniques and, when necessary, performs ingrown toenail surgery to resolve the problem permanently. Ingrown Toenail Treatment in Valencia
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, the band of tissue connecting the heel to the toes. Dr Koziy assesses the patient’s biomechanics and designs a treatment plan that may include orthopaedic insoles, injections or other techniques depending on the progression of the condition.

Athletes subject their feet to constant strain, which can lead to repetitive strain injuries, chafing, blisters, ingrown toenails or tendinopathies. Sports podiatry analyses the foot strike and the biomechanics of the sporting movement to propose preventive and corrective solutions tailored to each patient’s specific physical activity.

During childhood and adolescence, the foot is still developing. Conditions such as flat feet, high arches, gait problems or toe deformities can be corrected more easily when detected early. Dr Koziy treats children and adolescents with a reassuring approach tailored to their age. Paediatric Podiatry in Valencia
Patients with diabetes are at high risk of developing ulcers, infections and other foot complications due to neuropathy and impaired circulation. Regular check-ups with a podiatrist in Valencia are essential for detecting lesions early and maintaining the health of the diabetic foot. Diabetic Foot Care in Valencia
Corns and calluses are the foot’s response to excessive pressure or friction. Although they may seem like a minor problem, without treatment they cause pain and can become a gateway for infections. Dr Koziy safely removes hyperkeratotic tissue and identifies the underlying biomechanical cause to prevent recurrence. Removal of corns and calluses in Valencia
Dr Koziy sees patients from various neighbourhoods in Valencia, such as Benimaclet, Ruzafa, El Cabanyal, Paiporta, Patraix, Mestalla and Algirós, as well as from nearby towns such as Almenara, Sagunto and the La Plana Baixa region.
There are situations in which you should not delay seeing a podiatrist in Valencia. Look out for the following signs: pain in the heel, arch or sole of the foot when getting up or walking; ingrown, thickened, discoloured or painful toenails; corns or calluses causing discomfort when standing or walking; numbness, tingling or loss of sensation in the foot; wounds or ulcers on the feet that do not heal normally, especially in patients with diabetes; changes in your child’s gait or complaints of foot pain during childhood; pain in the joints of the foot, ankle or knee of unknown origin; recurrent injuries in athletes related to foot strike or biomechanics.
A podiatrist is a qualified healthcare professional who specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of foot and ankle conditions. They treat problems such as ingrown toenails, fungal infections, calluses, plantar fasciitis, diabetic foot, structural deformities and sports-related conditions, amongst others.
The price of a podiatry consultation in Valencia varies depending on the type of treatment and the complexity of the case. To find out the current fees and treatments available with Dr Koziy, we recommend contacting her directly via drakoziy.es, where you can also book an appointment.
You should take your child to a podiatrist if you notice they are walking abnormally, if they complain of pain in their feet or legs, if they have very pronounced flat feet or high arches, or if they have toe deformities. Early detection facilitates treatment and prevents more serious problems in adulthood.
