Services
Podiatry
Podiatry services address a wide range of foot conditions from common issues like corns, calluses, and ingrown toenails to complex problems such as plantar fasciitis and heel pain. Our experienced podiatrist uses both traditional techniques and innovative methods to provide effective, long-lasting solutions. We specialize in treating athletes, individuals with chronic conditions, and high-risk patients requiring special care.
Lacuna Method
The Lacuna Method is an innovative treatment for fungal nail infections that creates micro-holes in the nail plate to allow direct application of antifungal medication. This technique enables the medication to reach the infection site beneath the nail, stopping the fungus from spreading and allowing healthy nail growth. It's a safe and effective alternative to oral medications with fewer side effects.
Physiokey Therapy
Physiokey Therapy is a revolutionary treatment for various types of pain, using advanced technology to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. The handheld device emits signals similar to human nerve impulses, triggering the release of pain-relieving endorphins and promoting tissue healing. It's effective for conditions ranging from sports injuries to chronic pain like sciatica and arthritis.
Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage, also known as Champissage, is a therapeutic treatment targeting the head, neck, and shoulder areas to relieve stress and related conditions. This treatment helps alleviate symptoms of stress such as insomnia, tension headaches, and neck stiffness, while also promoting hair growth and improving circulation in the facial area.
Ear Candling
Ear Candling is a natural therapy that uses specially designed candles to create a gentle suction effect in the ear canal. This process helps remove excess wax, relieve pressure, and soothe ear-related discomforts. The treatment also includes a relaxing face and head massage, promoting an overall sense of well-being and balance in the head and sinus areas.

Martin has helped me so much. I was struggling to walk when I first met him. He was able to diagnose the problem and provide the solution. I am no longer in pain in my ankles or legs thanks to his help. He was professional and kind, and also took extra measures to make sure our appointment was Covid-safe. Definitely 5 stars.
