Services
General Foot Care
Our general foot care services address common concerns like nail trimming, corn and callous removal, and diabetic foot assessments. We provide footwear advice and verrucae treatment tailored to individual needs. Patients receive practical home care guidance to prevent recurring issues while accessing professional treatments in a relaxed clinic environment.
Nail Surgery
This permanent solution for ingrown toenails uses local anaesthetic to ensure comfort during the procedure. Follow-up care continues until full recovery, with dressing checks available. The minimally invasive technique reduces recurrence risk while maintaining foot functionality for daily activities and sports participation.
Biomechanics
Specialist biomechanical assessments identify movement pattern issues causing foot, knee, hip or back pain. Treatment combines joint mobilisation, strapping support, and custom orthotics to correct alignment. Patients learn home exercises to reinforce recovery and prevent future injuries through improved musculoskeletal function.
Cosmetic Treatments
Enhance foot appearance with warm wax therapy and luxury treatment packages. Services include exfoliation, moisturising treatments, and nail beautification. The deluxe package combines therapeutic benefits with relaxation elements like foot soaks and massage to improve skin texture and overall foot presentation.
Shockwave Therapy
This advanced treatment addresses chronic pain conditions in joints, tendons and muscles lasting over three months. High-energy acoustic waves stimulate natural healing processes in bone and soft tissues. Many patients experience immediate improvement in mobility and reduced discomfort during daily activities and exercise.

Report
As a former colleague I have the greatest respect for Bruce McCulloch at Podiatry Shetland, but today I had a first hand experience as his patient. Bruce has a vast expert knowledge of how feet work. I hobbled in with one sore foot and walked out pain free! Highly recommended.
