Services
General Podiatry
Our general podiatry services address toenail care, corns, calluses, and routine foot maintenance. We provide thorough professional tidy-ups, including cleaning, cutting, shaping, and buffing nails to rejuvenate their appearance and health. Our appointments exceed industry standards, offering extended treatment times for exceptional results. Ideal for patients seeking regular foot care to maintain comfort and aesthetics.
Heel Pain Treatment
Specialised heel pain treatment targets conditions like plantar fasciitis, Sever's disease, and Achilles tendinitis. We use biomechanical assessments and interventions such as orthoses, footwear advice, and shockwave therapy to address root causes. Our approach combines pain reduction with long-term solutions to prevent recurrence, ensuring patients return to pain-free mobility and physical activity.
Wart Removal
Swift wart treatment utilises microwave therapy for fast, pain-free removal of plantar warts and verrucae. This non-invasive method heats the lesion to 42-45C without damaging surrounding tissue, requiring no dressings or recovery time. Most patients achieve resolution after 3 sessions, with success rates validated through clinical case studies and follow-up assessments.
Postural Assessments
Comprehensive postural assessments analyse gait patterns, foot mechanics, and lower limb alignment using video gait analysis and treadmill testing. We identify misalignments contributing to back pain, joint stress, or sports injuries, creating corrective plans with orthotics, footwear modifications, and targeted exercises to improve posture and reduce injury risk.
Ingrown Toenails
Minimally invasive techniques treat ingrown toenails through partial nail avulsion or matrixectomy. We use local anaesthesia to ensure comfort while removing problematic nail sections and applying chemical treatments to prevent regrowth. Post-operative care includes hygiene guidance and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and maintain long-term nail health.
