Services
Routine Podiatry
Our routine podiatry service addresses common foot health issues including nail care, corns, and calluses. We provide thorough assessments and treatments to maintain mobility and comfort for patients of all ages. This foundational care helps prevent complications and supports long-term foot health through regular maintenance.
Gait Analysis
Biomechanical assessments identify movement irregularities that cause pain or injury. Using advanced techniques, we analyse walking patterns to develop custom solutions like orthotics or exercise plans. This service benefits athletes and individuals experiencing recurring musculoskeletal issues from improper foot mechanics.
Phits Orthotics
Phits 3D-printed orthotics offer tailored support for foot conditions and sports performance. Our digital scanning technology creates precise devices that correct alignment issues and distribute pressure evenly. These custom solutions improve comfort and function for patients with chronic pain or specific activity requirements.
MLS Laser Therapy
MLS laser therapy provides non-invasive pain relief and accelerates tissue healing. We use this technology to treat inflammatory conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. The targeted light energy reduces swelling and promotes cellular repair without medication or downtime, offering effective results for chronic foot ailments.
Nail Surgery
Our nail surgery procedures address severe ingrown toenails and fungal infections. Performed under local anaesthesia, these minor surgeries remove problematic nail sections permanently. This service provides lasting relief for patients with recurrent nail issues that don't respond to conservative treatments.
