Services
MSK Podiatry
Our musculoskeletal podiatry specialises in diagnosing and treating foot and ankle injuries, including sports-related conditions. We employ evidence-based techniques like gait analysis and image-guided injections to address tendon, ligament, and joint issues. Patients benefit from tailored rehabilitation plans developed by clinicians with experience working with elite athletes.
Diagnostic Ultrasound
We offer CASE-accredited diagnostic ultrasound for real-time visualisation of foot and ankle structures. This technology enables precise diagnosis of soft tissue injuries and guides interventions like corticosteroid injections. Our clinic was the first private podiatry practice in Scotland to implement this advanced imaging service, enhancing treatment accuracy and patient outcomes.
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) accelerates healing for chronic tendon and muscle conditions. Clinically proven and NICE-recommended, this non-invasive treatment addresses plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and other musculoskeletal disorders. Our team has integrated ESWT into comprehensive treatment protocols since 2022, achieving improved recovery rates for patients.
Nail Surgery
We provide permanent solutions for ingrown toenails through minor surgical procedures. With over 1,000 successful operations completed, our specialists use local anaesthesia and partial nail avulsion techniques to alleviate chronic pain. The service combines immediate relief with long-term prevention of nail-related complications.
Custom Orthoses
Our 3D-printed custom foot orthoses are designed using Sidas technology for precise biomechanical correction. These medical-grade devices address structural imbalances and support recovery from injuries. Patients receive same-day fittings following comprehensive gait assessments, ensuring optimal alignment and comfort for various foot conditions.
