Services
Routine Treatment
Regular maintenance treatments address common foot issues including calluses, corns, and nail care. Our practitioners use specialist podiatry equipment to alleviate discomfort and maintain foot health. This service is suitable for patients seeking preventative care or managing recurring foot problems through non-surgical interventions.
Nail Surgery
Permanent nail removal procedures treat chronic ingrown toenails using local anaesthetic and phenol application. This surgical option addresses severe cases unresponsive to conservative treatments. Patients receive detailed post-operative care instructions with healing periods typically lasting 6-8 weeks.
Biomechanical Assessment
Comprehensive movement evaluations identify underlying foot function issues causing pain or mobility limitations. Using advanced diagnostic techniques, we assess walking patterns and foot pressure points to develop targeted treatment strategies for long-term relief.
Home Visits
Flexible in-home treatments for patients with mobility challenges or residential care facilities. Our qualified practitioners provide the same clinical standards in domestic or institutional settings, including regular scheduled visits and urgent treatment requirements.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialised diabetic foot assessments prevent complications through annual reviews incorporating doppler, monofilament, and neurothesiometer examinations. We collaborate with healthcare professionals to maintain foot health and reduce amputation risks in diabetic patients.

My first ever experience at a chiropodist but I was really impressed with their knowledge and the help I was given to help my foot pains. The lady who attended to me was so lovely too.

After a difficult start, I had an amazing visit here today! The staff are very friendly and the place is spotlessly clean. I felt in the hands of a true professional with Chris. A more modern CRM with appointment reminders would be useful.

Liz is an absolute star and looked after me and my mum throughout the whole procedure. I cant express how much easier and better the experience was than what we expected. The help and support she offered through the nail removal and even after the procedure to ensure all was well is hugely appreciated. If you are ever worried or concerned about needles or anaesthetic and think you need your feet seeing to call this clinic and ask for Liz!!!!!!
P.s we think Liz deserves a payrise!!!!!!
