Services
Podiatry
Podiatry involves the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of foot and lower limb conditions. Our services include nail care, corn removal, and management of biomechanical issues. We cater to patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, providing specialized care to prevent complications. Our approach combines clinical expertise with preventive education.
Diabetic Foot Assessments
Diabetic patients receive comprehensive foot assessments to prevent ulcers and infections. We evaluate circulation, nerve function, and skin integrity. Regular check-ups are crucial for early detection of issues. Our team offers tailored advice on foot care and footwear to reduce risks associated with diabetes.
Verruca Treatment
We treat verrucas using advanced methods like Swift microwave therapy and Faulkner's needling. These techniques target the virus causing warts, offering effective removal. Our approach minimizes discomfort and recurrence. Patients receive post-treatment care guidance to ensure optimal healing.
Ingrown Toenail Surgery
Ingrown toenail surgery removes part of the nail to relieve pain and prevent recurrence. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia for comfort. We use partial nail avulsion with phenol to ensure long-term results. Post-operative care includes infection prevention and healing support.
Home Visits
Home visits provide podiatry care for patients with mobility challenges. Our services include routine treatments and assessments in the comfort of your home. We cater to elderly individuals and those with disabilities. Equipment is transported to ensure comprehensive care during each visit.
