Services
Routine Footcare
Regular podiatry appointments prevent foot problems and maintain mobility. Our treatments include nail trimming, corn removal, and callus management tailored to individual needs. This essential care benefits everyone but is particularly important for those with diabetes or circulation issues, helping prevent serious complications through early detection and intervention.
Nail Surgery
Permanent solution for recurring ingrown toenails using partial or total nail avulsion under local anaesthetic. We apply phenol to prevent regrowth of problematic nail sections. The procedure takes under an hour with most patients resuming normal activities within 48 hours, requiring minimal post-operative care and follow-up dressings.
Lunula Laser Therapy
Non-invasive treatment using dual-wavelength laser technology to eliminate fungal infections. The painless procedure targets fungi beneath the nail without damaging surrounding tissue. Most patients require 4-6 sessions spaced weeks apart, with visible improvement in 97% of cases as new healthy nail grows naturally.
SWIFT Verruca Treatment
Modern solution for persistent verrucae using controlled microwave energy to stimulate immune response. Treatments take minutes with no dressings required, allowing immediate return to daily activities. Clinically proven effective even for long-standing cases previously unresponsive to other treatments.
Biomechanical Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation of foot and lower limb function during movement. Identifies structural imbalances causing pain through joint tests and walking analysis. Combines with footwear assessment to create treatment plans incorporating orthotics, exercises, or laser therapy to restore proper alignment and movement patterns.

The whole procedure was a breeze felt comfort through out and was well informed all the way through and with flowing conversation kept me at ease and comfort. Siobhan met me at the clinic on the Sunday morning to redress
