Services
Routine Podiatry
Routine podiatry involves regular maintenance treatments to keep feet healthy and prevent complications. This includes nail trimming, callus removal, and addressing minor foot discomfort. Ideal for individuals seeking ongoing foot health management, it helps maintain mobility and comfort, particularly for older adults or those with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Diabetic Foot Assessments
Diabetic foot assessments are critical for preventing severe complications like ulcers and infections. Our podiatrists evaluate circulation, nerve function, and skin integrity to identify risks early. Patients receive personalized advice on foot care, footwear, and monitoring, ensuring proactive management of diabetes-related foot health to maintain overall well-being and reduce amputation risks.
Verruca Treatment
Verruca treatment addresses painful or persistent foot warts using advanced methods like Swift therapy and needling. These techniques target the human papillomavirus (HPV) causing the infection, promoting faster healing. Tailored to individual needs, treatments aim to alleviate discomfort, restore foot function, and prevent recurrence through follow-up care and hygiene guidance.
Ingrown Toenail Surgery
Ingrown toenail surgery resolves chronic or severe cases through partial or total nail removal. The procedure, often performed under local anaesthetic, includes chemical matrixectomy to prevent regrowth. Post-operative care focuses on infection prevention and pain management, ensuring a swift recovery and long-term relief from recurring ingrown toenails.
Biomechanical Assessments
Biomechanical assessments analyze walking and standing patterns to diagnose lower limb issues like heel pain or flat feet. Using advanced techniques, we identify structural imbalances and prescribe orthotics or exercises to improve alignment. This service benefits athletes, active individuals, and those with chronic pain, enhancing mobility and reducing injury risks through targeted interventions.
