Services
Podiatry
Our comprehensive podiatry services address all aspects of foot health, from routine care to complex conditions. Patients receive expert assessment and treatment for nail disorders, skin conditions, and biomechanical issues. Our practitioners employ evidence-based approaches to maintain mobility and prevent complications, particularly for diabetic patients requiring regular foot assessments.
Podiatric Surgery
Specialist podiatric surgical procedures treat chronic nail conditions including ingrown toenails. Consultant podiatric surgeon Mr C Withey performs these minor surgical interventions using local anaesthesia, offering long-term solutions for recurring problems that haven't responded to conservative treatments.
Swift Verruca Treatment
This advanced microwave therapy targets verrucas at their root without requiring skin penetration. The treatment works effectively for both adults and children, with many patients experiencing complete resolution after just a few sessions, even with longstanding or multiple verrucas.
Diabetic Foot Assessments
Regular specialist assessments help prevent serious complications for diabetic patients. Our comprehensive evaluations identify early signs of neuropathy, circulation issues, and skin changes. We provide ongoing monitoring and education to maintain foot health and prevent hospital admissions.
ManPedi Treatments
Tailored pedicure services specifically designed for men's foot care needs. These sessions combine therapeutic treatments with cosmetic improvements, addressing common issues like thickened nails and calluses while maintaining professional standards of foot hygiene.
