Services
Verrucae Treatment
Our innovative dry needling technique offers a highly effective solution for stubborn verrucae. Unlike traditional freezing or burning methods, this minimally invasive procedure targets the root cause under local anaesthetic. Patients typically achieve permanent results after 1-2 painless sessions, even for recurrent cases.
Biomechanical Assessment
Using RS Scan Biomechanical foot scanning technology, we diagnose ankle, knee, and back issues stemming from foot mechanics. Through pressure mapping and motion analysis, we prescribe custom orthotics or footwear modifications. This diagnostic precision enables targeted treatments for conditions like excessive pronation and bunions.
Oral Sedation Surgery
We provide Temazepam Elixir sedation for nail surgery patients with needle phobia. This oral sedative creates a relaxed state with memory suppression during procedures. Our protocol includes pre-treatment preparation rooms and post-sedation observation for patient safety.
Fungal Nail Testing
Our Dermatophyte Test Strip delivers rapid 5-minute diagnosis of fungal nail infections. This clinical-grade test identifies pathogens quickly, enabling prescription antifungal treatments without delay. The initial consultation includes both diagnostic testing and treatment planning.
Orthotics Prescription
Based on biomechanical assessments, we provide tailored orthotic solutions including casted, semi-bespoke, and pre-fabricated options. These corrective insoles address structural issues like flat feet and high arches while improving footwear compatibility for daily activities.
