Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) accelerates healing for chronic foot and ankle conditions by stimulating blood flow and tissue regeneration. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and calcific tendonitis. Clinical studies demonstrate 80% improvement rates in heel pain sufferers after 3-5 sessions.
Custom Orthotics
Tailored biomechanical solutions using 3D foot scanning technology to correct gait abnormalities. These prescription insoles alleviate flat feet, high arches, and sports-related injuries by redistributing pressure and improving foot alignment. Lasting 2-3 years with proper use.
Sports Podiatry
Specialised treatment for sports injuries including shin splints, ankle sprains, and stress fractures. Combines video gait analysis with sports taping and footwear modification to enhance performance while reducing re-injury risk. Treats professional athletes and recreational players alike.
Diabetic Foot Care
Comprehensive management of diabetes-related foot complications including ulcer prevention and neuropathy treatment. Regular assessments reduce amputation risks through early detection of circulation issues and nerve damage. Includes nail surgery for ingrown toenails.
Children's Podiatry
Early intervention for developmental foot conditions like intoeing and flat feet. Gentle treatments improve gait patterns and prevent long-term mobility issues. Addresses sports injuries and footwear requirements for growing children using age-appropriate techniques.
