Questions
What foot conditions do you treat?
We treat ingrown toenails, fungal infections, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, sports injuries, and biomechanical issues causing knee/back pain. Specialised care for diabetic foot complications and circulation disorders.
Do you offer nail surgery?
Yes, we perform partial and total nail avulsions under local anaesthetic. Phenol application prevents regrowth for permanent relief from recurrent ingrown toenails or severe fungal infections.
How do orthotics help posture?
Custom orthotics correct foot alignment issues that cause improper weight distribution. This realigns the skeletal system, alleviating knee, hip, and back pain originating from foot biomechanical abnormalities.
Is verrucae treatment painful?
Our electrotherapy method causes no discomfort. The non-invasive procedure safely removes warts through targeted microbial elimination, suitable for children and diabetic patients.
What happens during first visit?
Initial consultation records medical history, conducts vascular assessment using Doppler, and performs detailed foot examination. Treatment planning follows patient consent, with sterilised instruments used throughout all procedures.

I've seen Manuela for a couple of years now, not on a regular basis but more as and when required. She is absolutely brilliant. I dont particularly like having my feet touched, but I always feel so much better after she has worked her magic on them. Highly recommended.
