Services
Podiatry
Our podiatry services address foot and ankle conditions through comprehensive assessments and tailored treatment plans. We manage chronic pain, sports injuries, and biomechanical issues using evidence-based interventions. With expertise in diabetes-related foot care and paediatric podiatry, we ensure long-term mobility and comfort for patients of all ages.
Run3D Gait Analysis
Run3D uses 3D motion capture technology to diagnose movement-related injuries and optimise running performance. This data-driven approach identifies biomechanical inefficiencies for targeted rehabilitation. Ideal for athletes seeking injury prevention and performance enhancement through precise gait correction.
Swift Verruca Treatment
Swift microwave therapy treats verrucas without skin penetration, eliminating the need for dressings or downtime. This quick, repeatable procedure delivers targeted energy to affected tissue. Patients benefit from immediate return to daily activities with minimal aftercare requirements.
Curacorn
Curacorn provides long-lasting relief for pressure lesions through sterile gel injections that cushion high-stress foot areas. This non-invasive solution reduces friction and pain from corns and calluses. Particularly effective for athletes and high-risk patients requiring durable foot protection.
Nail Surgery
Nail surgery permanently addresses ingrown toenails under local anaesthetic with a 97% success rate. The procedure involves partial nail removal and chemical matrixectomy to prevent regrowth. Post-operative care includes detailed recovery instructions and follow-up monitoring for optimal healing.
