Services
Routine Footcare
Our comprehensive footcare service addresses corns, calluses, and nail care for all ages. Expert practitioners perform precise treatments in clinic or home settings, maintaining strict hygiene standards. This essential care prevents complications and maintains foot health for both casual and active lifestyles.
Nail Surgery
Specialised surgical treatment for ingrowing toenails using local anaesthesia. We offer partial and total nail ablations with post-operative care packages. Our procedures include matrix phenolisation to prevent recurrence, with follow-up appointments included in treatment fees for optimal recovery.
MSK Assessments
In-depth musculoskeletal evaluations identify causes of foot and leg pain through gait analysis and posture assessment. Lasting approximately one hour, these assessments lead to custom treatment plans incorporating orthoses, exercise programs, or footwear advice to address biomechanical imbalances.
Orthoses Provision
Tailored orthotic solutions based on individual biomechanical needs. We offer both modified off-the-shelf and custom-made devices, with Firefly orthoses available for precise foot profiling. These devices improve movement patterns and alleviate symptoms from various foot conditions.
Home Visits
Professional footcare delivered to your residence across the South Hams region. Our home visit service includes standard treatments with a 10 call-out fee, maintaining clinic-level standards for patients unable to attend our Kingsbridge practice.
