Services
Podiatric Assessment
Our comprehensive podiatric assessments involve detailed medical history reviews, gait analysis, and biomechanical evaluations to diagnose foot and lower limb conditions. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we create tailored treatment plans addressing structural abnormalities, pain, or mobility issues. Ideal for patients experiencing chronic foot problems or seeking preventive care, this service ensures early detection and effective management of potential complications.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialised diabetic foot care focuses on preventing and treating complications like ulcers, infections, and neuropathy. Our clinical specialists conduct regular screenings, provide wound care, and offer footwear advice to reduce amputation risks. With priority appointments for urgent cases, we help diabetic patients maintain foot health through proactive management and education on self-care practices.
Sports Podiatry
Sports podiatry services address foot injuries and biomechanical issues affecting athletes. We offer gait analysis, custom orthotics, and injury rehabilitation to improve performance and prevent recurrence. This service caters to active individuals seeking solutions for stress fractures, tendonitis, or sports-related trauma, combining conservative treatments with advanced recovery techniques.
Nail Surgery
Permanent toenail removal procedures treat recurrent ingrown nails using phenolisation to prevent regrowth. Performed under local anaesthetic, this minor surgery provides long-term relief with minimal scarring. Patients receive detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing, with follow-up appointments included in the treatment package.
Biomechanics Analysis
Biomechanical assessments evaluate walking patterns to identify structural imbalances causing foot pain or injury. Custom orthotics are prescribed to correct alignment issues, reduce pressure points, and improve overall mobility. This service benefits patients with flat feet, heel spurs, or recurring musculoskeletal problems through personalised footwear modifications and supportive devices.
