Services
Nail Cutting
Professional nail cutting services address routine foot care needs, particularly for patients with difficulty maintaining their own nail hygiene. This service prevents complications from overgrown nails and forms part of comprehensive foot health management. Essential for individuals with mobility issues or medical conditions affecting foot health.
Orthotic Provision
Custom and prefabricated orthotics correct biomechanical issues and provide support for various foot conditions. Our practitioners conduct detailed assessments to determine appropriate devices, including arch supports and heel cups. These orthotic solutions help alleviate pain from plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and other structural problems.
Nail Surgery
Specialist nail surgery procedures treat chronic ingrown toenails and other nail pathologies. The clinic offers both partial and complete nail avulsions with local anaesthesia. Postoperative care includes infection prevention and monitoring for regrowth, ensuring long-term resolution of painful nail conditions.
Diabetic Foot Care
Comprehensive diabetic foot assessments identify potential complications early, including neuropathy and circulation issues. Regular check-ups prevent serious foot problems through early intervention strategies. This service includes education on self-care and footwear selection to maintain foot health.
Biomechanical Assessments
Detailed biomechanical evaluations identify movement abnormalities causing foot and lower limb pain. Using advanced diagnostic techniques, practitioners assess posture, gait patterns, and pressure distribution. Findings inform treatment plans that may include orthotics, exercises, or footwear modifications to improve function.
