Services
Verrucae Treatments
Specialist dry needling treatment for persistent verrucae offers 1-2 session solutions with local anaesthetic. This innovative approach targets viral root causes rather than surface symptoms. Our Walton practice has successfully treated numerous patients with this minimally invasive technique that's particularly effective for recurrent cases.
Biomechanical Assessments
Advanced RS Scan system evaluates foot mechanics to diagnose ankle, knee and back issues. Digital pressure mapping identifies pronation/supination abnormalities and informs custom orthotic prescriptions. This technology enables visual patient education about their specific biomechanical requirements and treatment options.
Fungal Nail Infections
Rapid five-minute dermatophyte testing provides immediate diagnosis of fungal nail infections. This point-of-care test enables prompt treatment initiation with antifungal therapies. Our specialists offer comprehensive management plans for both diagnosis confirmation and subsequent infection resolution.
Oral Sedation Surgery
Temazepam elixir sedation provides anxiety-free nail surgery for needle-phobic patients. Two-hour pre-treatment protocol ensures optimal sedation levels before local anaesthetic application. Patients require post-treatment escort due to amnesic effects but experience complete procedural comfort.
Orthotics Prescription
Tailored orthotic solutions address biomechanical imbalances through semi-bespoke or casted options. Treatment plans include footwear advice alongside pressure redistribution devices for bunions and structural foot deformities. Our specialists ensure optimal alignment and function during weight-bearing activities.
