Services
General Foot Care
Our general foot care services address common issues like nail care, corns, calluses, and diabetic foot assessments. We provide expert treatment to maintain foot health and prevent complications. Patients receive personalised advice on footwear and home care to reduce recurrence.
Nail Surgery
Nail surgery offers permanent relief for ingrown toenails using local anaesthetic. The procedure includes follow-up care to ensure full recovery. This minimally invasive treatment reduces pain and prevents future nail deformities.
Biomechanics
Biomechanical assessments identify causes of foot, knee, hip, or back pain through gait analysis. Custom orthotics and strapping techniques are used to correct alignment issues. Treatment plans focus on injury recovery and prevention.
Cosmetic Treatments
Cosmetic podiatry enhances foot appearance with treatments like warm wax therapy and deluxe foot packages. Services combine exfoliation, massage, and moisturising to improve skin texture and reduce dryness.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy treats chronic musculoskeletal conditions by stimulating healing in affected tissues. It effectively addresses long-term pain in tendons, joints, and muscles. Each session promotes rapid recovery and improved mobility.
