Services
Routine Podiatry
Our routine podiatry service addresses common foot conditions including nail care, corns, and calluses. We provide thorough assessments and treatments to maintain optimal foot health. Ideal for patients seeking regular maintenance or minor interventions.
Gait Analysis
Biomechanical gait analysis identifies movement irregularities affecting feet and legs. Using advanced techniques, we diagnose issues impacting mobility and create corrective treatment plans. Beneficial for athletes and individuals with chronic pain.
Phits 3D Orthotics
Phits 3D orthotics offer tailored support through digitally scanned insoles. This technology ensures precise correction for foot alignment issues. Addresses conditions like plantar fasciitis and flat feet effectively.
MLS Laser Therapy
MLS laser therapy reduces inflammation and promotes tissue repair for foot injuries. Non-invasive and painless, it accelerates healing for conditions like plantar fasciitis. Typically requires multiple sessions for optimal results.

Very professional and great staff. Identified my problem straight away. Went through a diagnosis, treated and told me how to continue the treatment at home and how long it should take. Highly recommended

I've been going to this practice for about 15+ years. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Carol and Judith are amazing.
