Services

Podiatry

Our podiatry services address heel pain, ingrown toenails, plantar fasciitis, and biomechanical issues. Using gait analysis and custom orthotics, we correct foot alignment and alleviate pain. Patients benefit from targeted cortisone injections and ultrasound-guided treatments, ensuring rapid recovery. Our approach combines conservative care with advanced interventions for lasting results.

Nail Surgery

Nail surgery treats persistent ingrown toenails with local anaesthesia and phenol application to prevent regrowth. The procedure requires no stitches and allows immediate mobility. Post-operative care includes dressings and follow-up appointments, ensuring complete healing within 3-6 weeks. This permanent solution eliminates recurring infections and pain.

Orthotics

Custom orthotics correct foot deformities and alleviate pain in knees, hips, and lower back. Tailored to individual biomechanics, these inserts improve alignment and reduce stress on joints. Ideal for athletes and those with flat feet or high arches, our orthotics enhance mobility and prevent injuries through personalised support.

Ultrasound Scans

Diagnostic ultrasound enables real-time imaging of soft tissues, aiding swift diagnosis of tendon injuries and joint issues. This non-invasive method guides cortisone injections precisely, enhancing treatment efficacy. Ultrasound reduces the need for surgery by identifying problems early, allowing targeted interventions for faster recovery.

Sports Massage

Sports massage relieves muscle tension and prevents injuries through deep-tissue techniques. Beneficial for athletes and active individuals, it improves flexibility and circulation. Sessions address specific areas like calves and lower back, complementing podiatric treatments to enhance overall mobility and performance.

Jan 15, 2022 Report

Both my daughters have been treated at Sussex Foot Centre, several years apart, and I have been very happy with the results on both occassions. Most recently my daughter was treated for an in-grown toe-nail. This was treated and monitored until it got to the point where it had to removed. The staff worked hard to fit us in at very short notice to enable my daughter to continue playing sport as much as possible. At each visit my (teenage) daughter was kept fully informed of what was happening to her, and all of her (many) questions were answered with patience and in a totally un-patronising way

I have been visiting Amy at the Sussex Foot Centre for around a year now and highly recommend. She is lovely and very chatty which makes the appointment fly by. There is a high standard of care at the Sussex Foot Centre and the facilities are spotless. The rest of the staff that I have encountered are very helpful too. Would highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking chiropody/podiatry.

Really pleased that a friend recommended Sussex Foot Centre to me. I don't generally have any issues with my feet but I wanted to peace of mind of periodic check ups. It was during one of those that an issue was found early and treated much more simply than it might have been otherwise. All the staff are friendly and hopefully when it is safe to go on holiday again abroad I will have sandal ready feet!

From the first desperate email, asking if I could be seen because of the debilitating pain in my foot, to the procedure I've just had done, taking away the last of my pain, what more can I say other than THANK YOU!
Thomas, the Practice Manager is incredibly welcoming , efficient and got me booked in for my first appointment far far quicker than I was expecting. My specialist is Jon who almost immediately found the problem through ultrasound. At no point did I find that i was being strung along to pay for unnecessary treatment. I've only had 3 appointments and I have been 'fixed'. I have literally

Very pleased with my orthotics from Sussex Foot Centre. John has been very patient listening to me moaning about my feet and tried his best to relieve me from my pain. I would definitely recommend Sussex Foot Centre for any foot troubles.
