Services
Nail Surgery
Nail surgery treats ingrown, infected, or deformed toenails under local anaesthetic. Partial or total nail avulsion prevents regrowth using phenol application. Ideal for chronic cases, offering permanent pain relief and infection prevention. Recovery involves sterile dressings and follow-up appointments.
Biomechanics Assessment
Biomechanical assessments identify posture and movement issues causing foot, knee, or back pain. Custom orthotics correct alignment, redistributing pressure to improve mobility. Treatments address flat feet, plantar fasciitis, and sports injuries through 3D-scanned insoles for precise support.
Orthotics
Prescription orthotics are tailored using 3D foot scans to address structural imbalances. They alleviate conditions like shin splints, heel spurs, and diabetic foot pain. Removable designs fit various footwear, including sandals, enhancing comfort and preventing recurring injuries.
Verrucae Treatment
Verrucae are treated with pain-free electrotherapy, eliminating callus and microorganisms. Safe for children and diabetics, this method targets surface infections without invasive procedures. Multiple sessions may be required for complete resolution.
Foot Pain Management
Comprehensive care for fungal infections, corns, and athlete's foot. Treatments combine debridement, antifungal therapies, and palliative care for diabetic patients. Regular maintenance reduces complications from circulation disorders and rheumatoid arthritis.
