Services
Routine Podiatry
Regular foot assessments and treatments help maintain optimal foot health while preventing long-term complications. Our services include nail trimming, callus removal, and skin condition management. Patients benefit from early detection of potential issues and ongoing maintenance plans tailored to individual needs, particularly important for those with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Biomechanical Assessments
Comprehensive evaluation of foot structure and movement patterns identifies underlying causes of pain in feet, legs, and lower back. Using advanced techniques, we diagnose alignment issues and prescribe custom orthotics or exercises. This service addresses sports injuries, posture problems, and chronic pain through targeted interventions that improve overall mobility and comfort.
Medical Pedicure
Combines cosmetic pedicure benefits with clinical expertise to treat thickened nails, cracked heels, and calluses. Performed by HCPC-registered professionals using sterilised instruments, this service offers both aesthetic improvement and therapeutic benefits. Patients receive personalised footcare advice to maintain results between appointments while addressing hygiene concerns.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Specialised management of painful ingrown toenails prevents complications through careful trimming and infection control. We employ both conservative treatments and minor surgical procedures when necessary. Post-treatment guidance helps patients avoid recurrence while addressing contributing factors like footwear choices or gait abnormalities.
Orthotics Provision
Custom-designed shoe inserts correct biomechanical imbalances causing foot, knee, or back pain. We offer heat-formed and laser-scanned options following detailed gait analysis. These devices improve alignment, reduce pressure points, and enhance comfort during daily activities or sports, providing long-term relief from chronic discomfort.
