Services
Orthotic Therapy
Our orthotic therapy addresses foot alignment issues through tailored support devices. We offer both prefabricated and custom options to accommodate various footwear and budgets. These devices help correct biomechanical imbalances, alleviate pain, and prevent further complications. Patients receive expert fitting and adjustment guidance during consultations.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy utilises acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and tendon injuries. Our practitioners apply targeted energy pulses to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation without requiring surgery.
Biomechanical Assessment
Comprehensive biomechanical assessments evaluate foot function during movement. Using advanced diagnostic techniques, we identify abnormal patterns contributing to pain or injury. This assessment forms the basis for personalised treatment plans addressing structural imbalances and movement inefficiencies.
Routine Foot Care
Our routine foot care services address common nail and skin conditions. We provide safe management of ingrown toenails, corns, calluses, and fungal infections. Regular maintenance care helps prevent complications, particularly for patients with diabetes or circulatory issues requiring specialised attention.
Wart Removal
We offer effective wart removal using Swift microwave therapy and other advanced techniques. This targeted approach destroys viral tissue while minimising discomfort. Our practitioners provide follow-up care guidance to prevent recurrence and ensure complete healing of affected areas.
