Services
Podiatry
Podiatry at Shand Podiatry focuses on diagnosing and treating foot, ankle, and lower limb conditions using evidence-based methods. Our services address skin and nail pathologies, musculoskeletal issues, and sports injuries. Patients benefit from tailored treatments like acupuncture, joint mobilisation, and advanced therapies for chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy.
Orthotics
We design and manufacture custom 3D-printed orthotics to alleviate foot and lower limb pain caused by biomechanical imbalances. These tailored inserts reduce stress on injured tissues, aiding recovery from conditions like metatarsalgia and shin splints. Our orthotics are suitable for all ages and footwear types, ensuring comfort and improved mobility.
Gait Analysis
Our gait analysis uses treadmill and high-speed camera technology to evaluate walking or running patterns. This helps identify the root causes of injuries, such as improper foot alignment or excessive pronation. The data informs targeted treatments, including orthotics or exercise programmes, to enhance movement efficiency and reduce pain.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic waves to treat chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. This non-invasive treatment stimulates healing and reduces pain by promoting blood flow and tissue regeneration. It is particularly effective for patients unresponsive to conventional therapies.
Chiropody
Chiropody services address common foot issues such as corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, and fungal infections. Our practitioners use scalpel work, debridement, and antifungal treatments to alleviate discomfort and improve foot health. Treatments are pain-free and focus on both immediate relief and long-term prevention.

I have just finished treatment for a few verrucas which were very stubborn and resisted all previous treatments. I am pleased to say that they have all disappeared and walking is now much more comfortable. Thank you to Emma for her professionalism and also for putting me at my ease.

I had several big embarrassing verrucas on both feet, my left knee and 2 of my fingers. After 3 Swift sessions with Emma they have completely disappeared! She was so fantastic and made me feel so comfortable despite how embarrassing they were. The treatment was completely worth the time and I couldnt recommend Emma more, shes the best!!
