Keep your feet in tip-top condition
Routine Treatment
Whereas each individual is unique and may attend the clinic for a particular reason, everyone will receive a general foot health check which will include: nails cut, filed and thickness reduced if needed, corns and hard skin removed, cracked heels treated and smoothed and a moisturising cream applied to finish. For those patients who are diabetic we will also perform a foot examination by checking: circulation to the feet, sensation and general condition of feet. A treatment plan will be agreed as appropriate to each patient; this may include advice on any specific conditions, self-care and general maintenance.
Our experienced podiatrists are trained to notice changes in your foot health and indeed in your general health – regular visits to the Practice will keep your feet in the best possible condition.
Corns, Hard Skin and Cracked Heels
Nail Conditions (e.g. thickening, mis-shapen or broken)
Athlete's Foot and Fungal Nails
Ingrown Toenail Treatment and Surgery
Don't suffer with damaged or unsightly nails. Let us reconstruct your nails using Toeflex, a lightweight and flexible Hybrid-gel.
Verrucae - following initial assessment, the Podiatrist will advise on the exact nature of the problem and suggest a number of treatment options. It's worth keeping in mind that verrucae can take several treatments to resolve and that there is no guaranteed cure.
Biomechanical Assessments / Gait Analysis
Orthotics / Insoles
Plantar Fasciitis / Heel Pain
Prende Orb Warm Wax Therapy is an innovative, hygienic and therapeutic paraffin-wax treatment which increases blood flow, tolerance of pain, relaxes muscles and increases hydration in the skin.
Home Visits - Although home visits are operating as normal, we are having to take additional precautions to safeguard both podiatrists and patients against COVID-19.
Foot and Lower Limb Pain
Bunions / Hammer Toes
Onyfix - A pain free, non-surgical nail correction system. Gives rapid relief from painful in-growing and involuted nails. Corrects the nail through physiological growth.
Utilising the latest plasma technology, the Verruca Pen PE II works on a verruca by disrupting the virus that hides in the skin. It evaporates the skin cells around it. In turn this prompts an immune response from your body to fight the virus and clear the verruca.
Diabetic Foot Care
On your first appointment, we undertake a complete assessment of your feet and lower leg areas; including a diabetic foot check which involves:
finding out whether or not you have any foot problems at present, or in the recent past;
examining your feet and possibly your footwear to see whether you may be at risk of rubbing or pressure;
checking your skin for changes in colour and checking for the presence of ulcers, sores, areas of hard skin or any signs of inflammation or infection;
testing the feeling in your feet to see how well the nerves are working;
taking the pulse in each of your feet to check the blood flow;
working out your risk (low, moderate or high) of developing a diabetic foot problem.
If the foot check shows that you don't have any foot problems, you will still need to have a foot check every year.
The Podiatrist will talk with you about the risk of your developing foot problems in the future and explain how to look after your feet.
Additionally, we will talk with you about any appropriate treatment, including self-care, maintenance and when you should be seen again.
The appointment will also include a normal routine treatment of checking and cutting nails as necessary, finishing with a moisturising cream.
If there is a need for further treatment and depending on the condition of your feet then that would necessitate a further appointment.
