Services
Nail Surgery
Our nail surgery procedure addresses chronic nail conditions through partial or complete nail removal under local anaesthetic. A chemical application prevents regrowth while preserving foot functionality. This permanent solution resolves recurring ingrown toenail issues that routine treatments cannot manage. Patients benefit from reduced pain and improved nail health following this specialist intervention.
Biomechanical Assessment
This diagnostic service evaluates foot-ground interaction during walking through motion analysis and lower limb measurements. Our podiatrists identify abnormal patterns causing knee, hip or back pain. Treatment recommendations range from stretching exercises to prescription orthotics that correct biomechanical imbalances and improve overall mobility.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialist diabetic assessments combine routine foot care with circulation and sensation testing. We categorise patients into risk groups for diabetes-related foot complications. Regular monitoring prevents ulcers and infections through early intervention strategies tailored to each patient's specific condition and medical history.
Verruca Treatment
Our dry needling technique uses local anaesthetic followed by hypodermic punctures to stimulate immune response against verrucas. This method effectively treats persistent viral infections without damaging surrounding tissue. Multiple sessions may be required for complete resolution of stubborn verruca cases.
Home Visits
We provide routine treatments for elderly or mobility-impaired patients in their own homes. This service includes nail trimming, hard skin reduction and corn removal within domestic settings. Appointments are available by prior arrangement for those unable to access our clinic facilities.

If a could give it a minus a would.
50 for a Bio-mechanical assessment which was explained as a 1hr appt...took less than 30mins. A was in my car in 28mins...still charged 50. More worrying however...the podiatrist actually left room to find out the name of a muscle in my foot he reckoned was the problem. That's like a mechanic saying to you that he thinks that part is the brake cable but he will just check his Haynes manual to confirm. You would think they would know the basics of the area they are speciallising in.
Did phone next day and ask to speak to manager...eventually guy on phone
