Services
General Chiropody
Our comprehensive chiropody treatments address common foot problems including corns, calluses, thickened nails, and ingrown toenails. Experienced practitioners use traditional techniques to alleviate discomfort and improve foot health. This service provides essential maintenance care for patients with routine foot conditions.
Nail Surgery
Specialised nail surgery treats problematic toenails that are severely curved, inflamed or difficult to manage through standard chiropody. This procedure offers long-term solutions for chronic nail conditions affecting mobility and comfort. Patients receive local anaesthesia administered by qualified practitioners.
Orthotics
Custom orthotic solutions address lower limb biomechanical issues causing foot and related musculoskeletal pain. Using advanced assessment techniques, we create tailored insoles to correct gait abnormalities and improve overall foot function. This service benefits patients with chronic foot conditions and sports injuries.
Radiosurgery
Effective radiosurgery treatment removes persistent verrucae using controlled heat application. This modern technique offers faster resolution compared to traditional methods, with minimal discomfort and quick recovery times. Ideal for patients with stubborn viral skin infections unresponsive to self-treatment.
Diabetic Footcare
Specialised foot assessments for diabetic patients prevent complications through regular monitoring and early intervention. Our practitioners identify circulation issues, nerve damage and infection risks to maintain foot health. This service includes education on self-care and prevention strategies.

Questions
What is the difference between podiatry and chiropody?
Podiatry is the modern, internationally recognised term for chiropody. Both describe the same paramedical speciality focusing on foot health assessment and treatment.
Do you offer emergency foot care appointments?
While we don't provide true emergency services, we offer free telephone consultations and prioritise urgent cases during regular business hours Monday-Friday.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash or card payments at the end of your appointment. Separate payment arrangements are available for ongoing treatment courses as advised by your podiatrist.
What happens if I need to cancel my appointment?
Please provide as much notice as possible. Less than 24 hours notice may incur a half-fee charge if we cannot re-allocate your appointment slot to another patient.

Took our 11 year old son to have a troublesome toenail looked at that has been causing some problems. Absolutely delightful gentleman dealt with our son and explained everything to each of us through the procedure. Highly recommended!

I have been in agony since a motorcycle accident. Keith was excellent at clearly describing each procedure which put me at ease. I cant thank Keith enough for his expert assessment and painless procedure he carried out. I now walk normally and ride a motorcycle again. Outstanding!
