Services
Musculoskeletal Podiatry
Specialist assessment and treatment of foot and lower limb biomechanical disorders. We employ advanced diagnostic techniques to identify musculoskeletal imbalances and develop targeted interventions including manual therapy, gait retraining, and custom orthotic solutions. Our evidence-based approach addresses chronic pain, sports injuries, and postural issues through comprehensive rehabilitation programmes tailored to individual patient needs.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive treatment using acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. We utilise DolorClast technology for plantar fasciitis, tendonopathies, and other soft tissue injuries. This evidence-based modality accelerates recovery by increasing blood flow and metabolic activity in affected areas, often achieving significant pain reduction within 3-5 sessions when combined with our holistic treatment plans.
Nail Surgery
Permanent and partial nail avulsion procedures for ingrown toenails. Our sterile surgical environment ensures safe removal with local anaesthesia, followed by chemical matrixectomy to prevent regrowth. We provide comprehensive post-operative care including dressings and activity modification guidance, achieving excellent outcomes for patients with recurrent nail pathologies.
Foot Pressure Assessment
Advanced biomechanical evaluation using Footscan technology to measure pressure distribution. This diagnostic tool identifies abnormal loading patterns contributing to foot pain and injury. We use the data to create custom orthotic prescriptions and develop targeted exercise programmes, addressing both immediate symptoms and underlying mechanical causes.
Swift Microwave Therapy
Innovative microwave technology for treating viral warts and verrucas. This precise, non-invasive method delivers controlled thermal energy to destroy infected tissue while stimulating the body's immune response. Patients benefit from minimal discomfort and accelerated healing compared to traditional cryotherapy, with most requiring 3-4 sessions for complete resolution.
