Services
Diabetic Footcare
Our diabetic footcare service focuses on preventing complications through regular assessments and tailored treatments. We monitor circulation, neuropathy, and skin condition to maintain foot health for Type-1 and Type-2 diabetics. Patients benefit from timely check-ups and chiropody treatments to avoid long-term issues, supported by our expertise and NHS-linked services.
Nail Surgery
Nail surgery addresses ingrown toenails using local anaesthesia for patient comfort. We remove part or all of the affected nail to alleviate pain and prevent recurrence. This procedure is ideal for chronic cases unresponsive to routine care, ensuring long-term relief and improved foot health.
Biomechanical Assessment
Our biomechanical assessments use advanced RSScan technology to diagnose foot and leg pain caused by gait abnormalities. Patients receive custom orthotics and treatment plans to correct alignment issues, reducing pain and improving mobility. This service is ideal for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.
Fungal Nail Treatment
The Clearanail system treats fungal nail infections by enhancing antifungal penetration into the nail bed. This minimally invasive procedure addresses unsightly and painful fungal nails, offering a durable solution for patients seeking improved nail health and appearance.
Routine Foot Care
Routine foot care includes nail trimming, corn and callus removal, and footwear advice to maintain general foot health. Our treatments prevent minor issues from escalating, particularly for patients with vulnerable feet due to diabetes or other conditions. Regular appointments ensure ongoing comfort and mobility.
