Services
Verruca Treatment
Our clinic offers advanced verruca treatment using Swift microwave technology, a breakthrough solution for persistent plantar warts. This non-invasive procedure delivers targeted microwave energy to eliminate viral infections while preserving surrounding tissue. Clinical studies show 76% success rate after four sessions, with most patients experiencing resolution within three treatments. Ideal for cases resistant to traditional methods like cryotherapy or salicylic acid.
Fungal Nail Infections
We treat onychomycosis using Lunula Laser therapy, a painless, touch-free low-level laser system. This FDA-cleared treatment targets fungal pathogens without damaging nail or surrounding tissue. Sessions take just minutes with visible improvement typically appearing within three months as new nail growth occurs. Combines effectively with topical antifungal treatments for enhanced outcomes.
Biomechanical Assessments
Comprehensive lower limb evaluations using treadmill gait analysis to diagnose movement-related issues. Identifies abnormal biomechanics contributing to conditions like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and knee pain. Informs custom orthotic prescriptions and corrective exercise programmes. Addresses both acute injuries and chronic postural imbalances through detailed motion pattern analysis.
Orthotic Provision
Custom orthotic solutions created using advanced 3D scanning and on-site manufacturing capabilities. Offers both prefabricated and fully customised devices to address biomechanical abnormalities. Treats conditions ranging from flat feet to complex postural issues. Integrates with other therapies for comprehensive management of musculoskeletal disorders affecting the lower limbs.
Sports Podiatry
Specialised treatment for sports-related foot and lower limb injuries. Provides corrective running assessments, injury prevention strategies, and performance optimisation. Addresses conditions like stress fractures, tendonitis, and muscle strains through tailored rehabilitation programmes. Combines biomechanical analysis with sport-specific training advice to enhance athletic performance and reduce re-injury risk.

I highly recommend Sevenoaks Podiatry & Toby. I've had a couple of pairs of insoles now and it's meant I've not suffered any recurring injuries from running. Really fantastic, good quality insoles and the first pair are still going strong adter 2+years. Great service!

Can honestly recommend this practice. At my first appointment with Melanie I could barely walk on my left foot thanks to a massive verruca which I had had for a very long time. Now 4 sessions later I am totally pain free. Melanie clearly is passionate and knowledgeable about feet!!

Following surgery on my foot I struggled for over a year to run again. I went to see Toby at Sevenoaks Podiatry and the analysis he carried out, along with the custom orthotics that he prescribed, measured up and fitted were a revelation and allowed me to start running again pain free. Just 6 months later I was able to to complete an Ironman after almost giving up the thought of running again. I thoroughly recommend Toby and his team at Sevenoaks Podiatry, exceptionally professional and focused on finding a solution.

A fantastic top class service, leaders in their field! Being an avid runner and fitness class fanatic I had been suffering from various leg issues but always on my right side. Having had treatment on these issues via Sports Massage it seemed that although the massage was treating the tightness in leg muscles etc., I was in a cycle where the exercise was making things worse again. Pretty much at the end of my tether and facing throwing in the towel with my London Marathon training, my Sports Massage therapist recommended Sevenoaks Podiatry. I was fortunate enough to get a cancelled appointment

Literally life changing - Toby has stopped me having constant back pain and stabilised the upper part of my body which was being thrown out of sync because of foot issues. He has also helped our daughter enormously. Before being treated, she fell down all the time and couldn't run normally. Eighteen months on from first seeing Toby, she has just won her races at Sports Day! This is something we never thought we'd see - thank you so much.

Excellent service from the whole team. I've been seeing Toby for a good few years now with Verruca issues and time after time Toby is able to solve them for me. Recently also had a Gait Analysis and Orthotics fitted which Toby has helped me with and seen through from start to finish with real care and attention. Every visit feels really personal which is why I continue to come back, knowing top class results are guaranteed. Would highly recommend!

I was referred to Sevenoaks Podiatry by my GP after suffering with pain in my knees, especially after walking any distance. I saw Toby who put me on the 'walking machine' to check my gait and recommended new more supportive trainers along with some orthotic supports. Within a few months my knee pain had almost completely disappeared and a year on I am still pain free. I can't recommend Toby highly enough, he is clearly very experienced and competent in what he does but is also a delight to work with.
