Services
Chiropody
Our chiropody service addresses common foot conditions including corns, calluses, fungal nails, and verrucae. We specialise in treating ingrown toenails using both conservative and permanent surgical solutions. Patients with diabetes or circulatory issues receive tailored care to prevent complications. The service combines traditional techniques with modern treatments to provide long-term relief and maintain foot health.
Podiatry
Our podiatry service diagnoses and treats complex foot and ankle conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and Morton's neuroma. Using biomechanical assessments and gait analysis, we create personalised treatment plans. Services include therapeutic ultrasound, footwear modification advice, and cortisone injections for persistent inflammation, ensuring comprehensive care for chronic and acute foot problems.
Nail Surgery
Nail surgery treats recurrent ingrown toenails under local anaesthetic. The procedure removes part or all of the affected nail, with phenol application to prevent regrowth. Patients typically require 3-5 follow-up appointments for dressing changes. This permanent solution offers relief from infection and pain, allowing rapid return to normal activities with proper post-operative care.
Cortisone Injections
Cortisone injections target persistent foot and ankle inflammation unresponsive to conservative treatments. Administered with local anaesthetic, these injections reduce swelling and pain in conditions like plantar fasciitis and Morton's neuroma. Most patients experience relief within 48 hours, with effects lasting weeks to years. We limit treatments to three per year to minimise potential side effects.
Sports Massage
Sports massage therapy alleviates muscle tension and prevents injuries through Swedish massage techniques combined with stretching and trigger point therapy. Beneficial for athletes and non-athletes alike, it improves circulation, increases joint mobility, and addresses soft tissue injuries. Our therapist uses tailored approaches to enhance recovery and performance across various physical conditions.
