Services
Foot Pain Treatment
Our foot pain treatments address musculoskeletal issues affecting feet, ankles, and lower limbs. Using gait analysis and joint mobility assessments, we identify root causes of discomfort. Patients receive tailored interventions including biomechanical corrections and targeted therapies to restore pain-free movement.
Nail Surgery
Minor nail surgeries treat ingrown toenails using local anaesthesia. As HCPC-registered practitioners, we perform these procedures in-clinic to prevent complications. Post-operative care includes infection prevention advice and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
Diabetic Foot Checks
Comprehensive diabetic foot assessments evaluate circulation and nerve function. We check for sensation loss and vascular issues to prevent complications. Patients receive education on daily foot care and early warning signs requiring professional attention.
Callus Removal
Professional callus and corn removal uses sterile instruments for safe, painless treatment. We address hard skin build-up caused by pressure points. Follow-up advice includes footwear recommendations to reduce recurrence and maintain smooth skin.
Home Visits
Home visit services cater to patients with mobility limitations. Each visit is assessed individually to ensure safe treatment delivery. We provide the same range of foot care services in patients' homes as available at our clinic location.
