Services
General Podiatry
Our general podiatry services address common foot conditions such as ingrown toenails, corns, calluses, fungal infections, and cracked heels. We provide routine care including nail trimming and debris removal, utilizing sterilized equipment for safety. Our podiatrists develop personalized treatment plans to manage both immediate concerns and long-term foot health.
Orthotics
We prescribe custom orthotics to treat biomechanical issues, plantar fasciitis, and chronic pain in the feet, knees, and lower back. Using 3D scanning and heat-molding techniques, we create tailored devices that improve foot function and reduce stress on muscles and joints for patients of all ages and activity levels.
Diabetic Foot Care
Our diabetic foot assessments identify early signs of neuropathy and circulation issues to prevent serious complications. We conduct comprehensive exams for nerve damage and vascular health, offering preventive care strategies. Regular check-ups help diabetic patients maintain foot health and avoid infections or ulcers.
Children's Feet
We specialize in paediatric podiatry, addressing developmental concerns from infancy through adolescence. Our services include gait analysis, treatment for toe-walking and flat feet, and education on normal foot development. We create child-friendly environments to ensure comfortable, stress-free visits for young patients.
Nail Surgery
Nail surgery treats severe ingrown toenails under local anaesthetic, providing long-term relief. We collaborate with specialists to determine optimal surgical solutions for recurrent infections. This minor procedure focuses on resolving chronic issues that cannot be managed through routine podiatry care alone.
