Services
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a highly effective technique for treating persistent verrucae. This procedure involves puncturing the lesion into deeper skin layers under local anaesthesia to initiate an immune response. The body's immune system then recognizes and destroys the virus, providing lasting relief. Patients typically require only one treatment session, with minimal post-procedure soreness reported.
Acupuncture
Western medical acupuncture effectively treats acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions. By inserting fine needles at specific points, this treatment stimulates the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms, releasing endorphins and improving circulation. It addresses conditions like lower back pain, knee pain, sciatica, and sports injuries, offering a non-invasive alternative to conventional pain management approaches.
Biomechanical Assessment
This comprehensive assessment evaluates walking patterns to identify structural imbalances causing foot and lower limb pain. Through detailed examination of joint mobility and muscle function, we diagnose issues like overpronation or postural problems that contribute to chronic discomfort. Custom treatment plans may include orthotics, footwear advice, and exercise regimens.
Nail Surgery
Nail surgery provides permanent solutions for problematic or ingrown toenails under local anaesthesia. The procedure removes affected nail portions while preserving healthy tissue. Full postoperative care ensures proper healing, with patients typically experiencing significant pain relief and improved foot function within weeks of treatment.
Orthotics
Custom-made orthotics correct biomechanical foot issues by redistributing pressure and improving foot function. Following comprehensive gait analysis, we prescribe tailored insoles that alleviate pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and high-arched feet. These devices enhance stability and prevent recurring foot and lower limb problems.

My daughter had an ingrowing toe nail . Abid was very professional and excellent throughout the process. The Aftercare was second to none. I contacted Abid by mobile after clinic hours and contacted us straight away. Highly recommended.

Got insoles done for my twenty year old son from Leicester Podiatry Clinic at a hefty cost , few months down the line he was struggling to walk and run, he went back to the clinic and some adjustments were made however problem persisted and his foot and leg pain became worse, I paid for a private orthopedic surgeon who runs a sports clinic , who advised us not to use the insoles. He said that the insoles are doing more harm than good and should be thrown away, he referred my son to another place, for insoles , these insoles were not as hard and quite different from the ones that were made by the

If you have any issues with feet this is the place to go.Mr Abid Lokat is brilliant from start to finish. He wants the best for the patient. I went to him following issues after being with the NHS for a ingrowing toe nail. Which was not finished properly. He offered advice and treatment and nothing is too much trouble. If everyone was like Mr Abid Lokat the world would be a better place. I will return for regular check ups based on the outstanding knowledge and customer service given here. If I gould give more stars I would. Spot on service and treatment.

Excellent- been having feet treated here last few years, suffer from painful callous. Not all chiropodists Ive visited previously have been so thorough in removing it all. Feels like walking on air after treatment. The pre treatment massaging foot spa is very soothing too.
