Services
Routine Podiatry
Regular foot assessments and treatments prevent long-term complications while addressing immediate concerns like corns, calluses, and dry skin. Our HCPC-registered podiatrist utilises sterilised instruments to safely remove thickened nails and cracked heels. Patients benefit from preventative care reducing future treatment needs while receiving tailored advice on maintaining optimal foot health through daily routines.
Biomechanical Assessment
Specialised evaluations identify structural and functional foot issues affecting mobility and posture. Detailed gait analysis combined with orthotic prescriptions correct alignment problems causing heel pain or lower back discomfort. This evidence-based approach integrates footwear advice and muscle-strengthening exercises to improve biomechanical efficiency for both athletic and everyday activities.
Medical Pedicure
Combines cosmetic pedicure elements with clinical foot health management. Sterilised equipment removes thick calluses and treats fungal infections while maintaining nail aesthetics. Patients receive expert skincare advice alongside exfoliation and moisturising treatments. This service caters to individuals seeking both therapeutic benefits and visually appealing foot maintenance in a clinical setting.
Verruca Treatment
Targeted interventions address viral skin infections through advanced techniques like dry needling and topical solutions. Treatment plans consider patient age, verruca location, and medical history to ensure safe, effective resolution. Follow-up appointments monitor progress while minimising discomfort during elimination of HPV-caused foot lesions.
Home Visits
Accessible treatment options for patients in residential/nursing homes and hospital settings. The service accommodates mobility-impaired individuals while maintaining clinical standards through portable sterilisation equipment. First-Friday-of-month visits ensure consistent care for those unable to attend clinic-based appointments, preserving treatment continuity regardless of location.
