Services
Verruca Swift Treatment
Swift Microwave Therapy targets stubborn verrucas with 80% success rates. The non-invasive treatment uses microwave energy to stimulate immune response without needles or aftercare. Patients resume normal activities immediately, making it ideal for those seeking efficient solutions for persistent foot warts.
Biomechanical Analysis
Advanced treadmill analysis evaluates walking/running patterns to diagnose lower limb issues. Specialist podiatrists create custom exercise plans and orthoses prescriptions. Particularly beneficial for athletes and active individuals experiencing heel, arch, or joint pain from biomechanical imbalances.
Nail Surgery
Permanent solutions for ingrown or fungal toenails using local anaesthetic. The procedure addresses chronic pain and infection while minimising recurrence. Patients receive post-operative care guidance, with most resuming daily activities quickly following the minor surgical intervention.
Wax Therapy
Paraffin wax treatments nourish dry, cracked skin through deep heat penetration. The 10-minute therapy combines exfoliation with moisturising oils, improving circulation and skin elasticity. Particularly effective for joint pain relief and winter skin care maintenance in older patients.
Home Visits
Professional foot care delivered to residences within 5 miles of clinics. Services include nail trimming, corn removal, and diabetic foot assessments for immobile patients. Clinicians maintain full accreditation standards while providing convenient access to essential podiatric treatments for vulnerable populations.
