Services
Verruca Treatment
We offer advanced verruca treatment using Swift microwave technology, a clinically proven method that delivers targeted microwave energy to eliminate viral infections. This non-invasive procedure requires no dressings or anaesthesia, with 76% success rate in clinical trials. Ideal for persistent verrucas unresponsive to traditional methods, the treatment typically requires 1-3 sessions spaced four weeks apart. Our podiatrists conduct thorough assessments to determine suitability, considering factors like healing capacity and medical history.
Fungal Nail Infections
Our Lunula Laser treatment provides a painless, touchless solution for onychomycosis. This low-level laser therapy targets fungal organisms beneath the nail without damaging surrounding tissue. Patients typically require 4-6 sessions for optimal results, with visible improvement in nail clarity within 3-6 months. The treatment complements our comprehensive nail care services, including biomechanical assessments to identify contributing factors like poor circulation or footwear issues.
Biomechanical Assessments
Our treadmill-based gait analysis identifies movement abnormalities affecting the feet, ankles, knees, hips and lower back. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess weight distribution, foot strike patterns and joint mobility. This informs custom orthotic prescriptions and corrective exercise programmes. The service addresses chronic pain conditions, sports injuries and postural imbalances, with particular expertise in treating runners and athletes through our specialist sports podiatry department.
Orthotics Provision
We create custom orthotic devices using both prefabricated and prescription methods. Our on-site workshop enables rapid production of functional orthoses that correct biomechanical imbalances and alleviate pressure points. These devices effectively manage conditions like plantar fasciitis, shin splints and diabetic foot complications. Patients receive comprehensive fitting instructions and follow-up adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and therapeutic effectiveness over the long term.
Diabetic Foot Care
Our specialist diabetic foot care service addresses neuropathy, poor circulation and infection risks associated with diabetes. Regular assessments monitor for early signs of complications, while bespoke treatment plans manage existing conditions. Services include nail care, callus removal and pressure redistribution using custom orthotics. We collaborate with primary care providers to ensure comprehensive management of foot health as part of overall diabetes care strategy.
