Services
Ingrown Toenail Surgery
Our clinic provides expert ingrown toenail surgery under local anaesthetic. This procedure addresses painful nails growing into the toe, preventing infection and recurring issues. We conduct thorough medical history reviews and foot health assessments before treatment. Patients benefit from rapid recovery times and long-term relief, allowing them to resume daily activities without discomfort. The service is particularly valuable for those with chronic or severe cases requiring professional intervention.
Biomechanical Assessment
We offer advanced biomechanical assessments using Run3D and Walk3D technology developed at Oxford University. This service identifies root causes of foot and lower limb pain through detailed movement analysis. It's ideal for athletes, active individuals, and those with chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis. The assessment informs custom treatment plans, including orthotics, to correct gait abnormalities and prevent injuries. Patients receive comprehensive insights into their foot mechanics and tailored recommendations for improved mobility.
K-Laser Therapy
K-Laser Therapy effectively treats various foot conditions including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and fungal infections. This non-invasive treatment uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate healing and reduce pain. Sessions typically last 10-15 minutes, with most patients requiring 3-6 treatments for optimal results. The therapy promotes faster recovery after surgery and addresses both acute and chronic musculoskeletal issues. Patients appreciate its pain-free application and minimal side effects compared to traditional treatments.
Fungal Nail Treatment
We offer multiple solutions for fungal nail infections, including CLEARANAIL technology and the Swiss-developed Poderm Method. These treatments target thickened, discoloured toenails caused by fungal infections. CLEARANAIL uses micro-drilling to deliver antifungal agents directly to the nail bed, while Poderm employs organic botanical formulations. Both methods require fewer sessions than traditional oral medications and produce visible improvements within weeks. Patients receive personalised advice on preventing recurrence through proper foot hygiene.
Verrucae Therapy
Our clinic provides effective verrucae treatments using Swift Microwave Therapy, Faulkner's Needling, and Cryotherapy. Swift Microwave Therapy delivers targeted microwave energy to stimulate immune response, typically requiring 3-4 sessions. Faulkner's Needling breaks down infected tissue while Cryotherapy freezes warts for removal. Treatment choice depends on lesion location, severity, and patient preference. Most patients experience significant improvement within six weeks, with aftercare guidance provided to prevent reinfection in communal areas like gyms and swimming pools.

What fantastic help from Sivanne at Cutting Edge Podiatry - she has advised me on pain relief and what shoes to wear, with metatarsalgia, and going forward we will be looking at gait analysis, orthotics and how to prevent future pain - my feet in good hands. A very professional, encouraging and informed service, thank you!

Really great experience with Suvanne. Thorough explanation of what the issues were that I've been exeriencing and how to manage them. Came away with improved looking feet and armed with knowledge to keep my feet in better shape. Would definitely go again and would highly recommend.

Report
Suvanne booked me a weekend appointment and was generous with pricing as I am on a tight budget and needed an effective treatment. Not only did she not charge me as she decided treatment was not necessary, she sat and wrote me a list of things to try at home instead. I have saved money and I am better off for all of the expert knowledge she shared with me. I will definitely return if I need further help in future. Customer service was excellent; very friendly and personable. The practice was very clean and sanitary and all necessary precautions seemed to have been taken into account for COVID.

I went to see Suvanne as I had been finding long walks painful due to several corns. She did a wonderful job of removing them and discussing what steps I could take to prevent them in future. My feet have never felt better!

Report
I visited Suvanne for a difficult case of mosaic plantar verrucas this year, it was a very resilient case of more than 8 years of trials and failures. She treated them very diligently with falkner needle and microwave therapy and the improvements were massive on each session and worth every penny. I have verrucas no more ! This is a professional unlike any others I know, I give to Cutting Edge Podiatry a massive thumbs up. Highly recommended to anybody.
