Services
Nail Surgery
Our nail surgery service addresses chronic ingrown toenails through minor procedures performed under local anaesthetic. This permanent solution involves removing part or all of the affected nail, with aftercare provided to ensure proper healing. Patients benefit from reduced pain and recurrence risk, with most resuming normal activities within days.
Orthotics
Custom and prefabricated orthotics correct biomechanical issues and alleviate foot pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis. Our podiatrists conduct gait analysis to prescribe tailored insoles that improve alignment, reduce pressure points, and enhance mobility for long-term comfort and functionality.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialist diabetic foot assessments identify circulation issues, neuropathy, and infection risks. Regular check-ups and preventive care help avoid complications such as ulcers, ensuring patients maintain foot health through early intervention and education on self-care practices.
Biomechanical Assessments
Comprehensive biomechanical evaluations diagnose lower limb alignment issues causing pain in feet, knees, or hips. Using advanced techniques, we create treatment plans incorporating orthotics, exercises, or footwear advice to restore proper movement patterns and reduce discomfort.
Ingrown Toenails
Treatment for ingrown toenails includes conservative management and surgical options for severe cases. We address pain, inflammation, and infection through debridement, antibiotic therapy, or partial nail removal, combined with advice to prevent future occurrences.
