Services
Routine Foot Care
Comprehensive treatment for nail and skin conditions including ingrown toenails, corns, verrucae, fungal infections, and dry skin. Our podiatrists provide expert nail cutting, wound care, and advice on managing common foot complaints. This service addresses both cosmetic concerns and functional issues affecting daily comfort, ensuring patients maintain healthy, pain-free feet through regular professional care.
Minor Surgery
Specialised surgical interventions performed under local anaesthetic, including nail wedge sections and total nail evulsions for ingrown toenails. We offer innovative verrucae needling treatments that stimulate immune response to eliminate viral infections. These procedures require minimal recovery time, with most patients resuming normal activities within 24-48 hours while receiving follow-up care to ensure complete healing and prevent recurrence.
Diabetic Foot Checks
Annual comprehensive foot assessments and ongoing management for diabetic patients. Our podiatrists identify early signs of neuropathy, poor circulation, and ulceration risks. The service includes preventive education on foot care, pressure point management, and immediate treatment for existing complications. Regular monitoring helps prevent severe infections and reduces amputation risks through early intervention strategies.
Musculoskeletal Assessments
Biomechanical evaluations to diagnose lower limb conditions caused by gait abnormalities or sports injuries. Using advanced analysis techniques, we identify structural imbalances and prescribe custom orthotics alongside exercise programmes delivered through digital platforms. This service improves mobility, reduces pain, and prevents recurring injuries through targeted interventions and patient-specific rehabilitation plans.
Insoles/Orthotics
Custom-made orthotic devices designed to correct biomechanical foot issues and alleviate discomfort from structural abnormalities. Our podiatrists conduct detailed gait analysis to create personalised insoles that improve posture, reduce joint strain, and enhance athletic performance. The service includes follow-up adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and functionality for both everyday use and sports-specific applications.

Report
Arrived for appointment at 10.20 for 10.30 as per voicemail received previous day. Told appointment was 10am and couldn't be seen. Played voicemail to receptionist who said it wasn't her fault and I should have had a card. I will in future for a DIFFERENT chiropdy clinic. It's difficult having a card when you book over the phone Mrs ' not my fault ' receptionist. You don't even deserve the 1 star because of receptionist attitude!
