Services
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized diabetic foot care prevents and manages complications like ulcers and infections. Our podiatrist provides regular assessments, wound care, and tailored advice to maintain mobility and reduce amputation risks. Patients receive education on daily foot checks and footwear choices.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Effective treatment for ingrown toenails includes conservative management and minor surgical procedures. We address pain, inflammation, and infection while preventing recurrence through proper nail-cutting techniques and footwear guidance.
Fungal Nail Therapy
Targeted antifungal treatments address discoloured, thickened nails. We combine topical/oral medications with debridement to restore nail health and appearance, emphasizing hygiene practices to prevent reinfection.
Biomechanical Assessments
Comprehensive evaluations identify structural or functional foot issues causing pain in feet, knees, or lower back. Custom orthotics and exercises are prescribed to improve alignment, reduce strain, and enhance mobility.
Wart and Skin Infection Management
Treatment for plantar warts and infections like athlete's foot uses chemical, freezing, or minor surgical methods. We focus on eliminating pathogens while advising on hygiene measures to prevent spread and recurrence.

I had been putting off coming here for a while now through fear of the unknown. I needn't had worried though as I found the Chiropodist to be both friendly and professional and when I came out it felt I was walking on air!
