Services
Ingrowing Toenail Surgery
Specialist surgical treatment for ingrown toenails using local anaesthesia. Our HCPC-registered podiatrists perform this procedure with post-operative care guidance. Patients benefit from reduced pain and recurrence prevention through proper nail shaping and aftercare advice.
Biomechanical Assessments
Comprehensive evaluation of walking/running patterns using video and pressure measurement technology. Identifies abnormal mechanics causing foot, knee or back pain. Provides data for custom orthotics and rehabilitation plans to improve mobility and reduce injury risk.
Diabetic Foot Assessments
Specialist evaluations for diabetes patients to detect circulation issues, nerve damage and pressure points. Includes education on self-care and preventive measures. Regular assessments help prevent serious complications like ulcers and amputations through early intervention.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive treatment for chronic foot conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. Stimulates healing through acoustic waves, reducing pain and improving mobility. Typically requires 3-5 sessions with no downtime, offering an alternative to surgery for many patients.
Custom Orthotics
Tailor-made shoe inserts created from 3D foot scans to correct biomechanical issues. Addresses conditions like flat feet and metatarsalgia by redistributing pressure and improving alignment. Provides long-term comfort and prevents recurring foot problems through personalised support.

My son has just had nail surgery at Foot Fix. My son suffers from anxiety and was very nervous. He was seen and treated very quickly which eliminated his pain immediately. Charles Fraser put him at ease and did a fantastic job. I would recommend this podiatrist to everyone I know. Thanks again. Russel Ford.
