Services
Nail Surgery
We offer permanent solutions for ingrowing toenails using sterile nail surgery techniques under local anaesthetic. Our radiosurgery method provides precise matrix destruction with faster healing times compared to traditional phenol treatments. Patients receive comprehensive pre- and post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal recovery outcomes.
Radiosurgery
This modern treatment uses radiofrequency energy to precisely remove stubborn corns and verrucas with minimal bleeding. The procedure allows immediate weight-bearing and typically requires only one session, offering faster healing compared to conventional methods while maintaining tissue integrity.
Diabetic Foot Care
We conduct thorough diabetic foot assessments following NICE clinical guidelines, including vascular and neurological testing. Our service identifies risk factors early and provides preventive care to reduce ulceration and amputation risks through regular monitoring and patient education.
Posture Insoles
Custom posture control insoles improve gait and alignment issues without restricting natural foot motion. These ultra-thin inserts enhance proprioception, addressing problems from heel pain to lower back discomfort while fitting comfortably in everyday footwear.
Verruca Treatment
We employ evidence-based treatments including Falknor's needling and radiosurgery for persistent verrucas. Our approach stimulates the immune system to target viral infections effectively, with success rates significantly higher than traditional acid or freezing methods.
