Services
Foot Pain Treatment
Our foot pain treatments address biomechanical issues, injuries, and chronic conditions through gait analysis and targeted interventions. We identify root causes of discomfort in feet, ankles, and lower limbs. Customised treatment plans may include orthotics, stretching exercises, or minor surgical procedures to restore mobility and reduce discomfort.
Nail Surgery
We perform minor nail surgeries for ingrown toenails using local anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort. The procedure removes problematic nail sections permanently while preserving healthy tissue. Post-operative care includes wound management and infection prevention protocols to ensure rapid recovery with minimal scarring.
Diabetic Foot Checks
Our diabetic foot assessments evaluate circulation, nerve function, and skin integrity to prevent complications. Regular check-ups identify early signs of neuropathy or ulcers. We provide education on daily foot care and footwear selection to maintain foot health and prevent serious complications requiring hospital treatment.
Home Visits
We deliver foot care services at patients' homes for those unable to visit our clinic due to mobility limitations. Our home visits include standard treatments like corn and callus removal, nail cutting, and basic foot health assessments. Each visit is assessed individually to ensure safe and effective care delivery in domestic settings.
Corn Removal
Our corn removal treatments use sterile instruments to painlessly debride hardened skin build-ups. We identify pressure points causing corn formation and provide footwear advice to prevent recurrence. Treatments include both soft and hard corn extraction, with aftercare guidance to maintain smooth skin and prevent discomfort during daily activities.

Had the most painful toe and was so scared of it being touched. The service was kind, gentle, caring, informative and problem solving. Wished I had been beaver enough to go sooner. Couldn't be happier. Many thanks guys.

I grabbed an appointment while I was on holiday. Really friendly and professional - and the temporary insoles were a brilliant.
