Sports injuries rarely improve with one-size-fits-all advice. Treatment should be targeted to your diagnosis and your individual goals and expectations.

When you attend for an appointment, your treatment plan may include:

- Rehabilitation and progressive loading

- Gait assessment and retraining

- Footwear advice and practical modifications

- Foot orthoses (when appropriate)

- Shockwave therapy

- Ultrasound guided injections

Treatment is matched to what you actually need, helping you progress safely, reduce flare-ups, and build long-term resilience rather than temporary relief.

Ongoing foot or ankle pain is frustrating - especially when you’ve tried rest, stretching or changing shoes with no clear improvement.

A musculoskeletal (MSK) podiatry assessment gives you clarity and direction. You can expect:

- A thorough history, including discusion of your goals and expectations

- A detailed assessment of the painful area and contributing biomechanics

- Identification of the key drivers

- A clear, achievable plan that’s built around your goals and expectations

Stop guessing and start following a structured pathway with clear next steps.

If pain is lingering or limiting activity, book an MSK assessment and get a clear plan you can act on:

If you’ve never had routine podiatry before, it’s normal to feel unsure about what happens, or to worry you’ll be judged for the state of your feet. You won’t be!

Your appointment will be professional, straightforward, and focused on improving your foot health.

- We start by understanding your goals (comfort, mobility, sport, footwear, recurring problems)

- We assess your skin and nails and treat the issues safely and hygienically

- We give practical advice to help keep improvements lasting longer

- Where appropriate, we also carry out vascular, diabetic and neurovascular screening to check circulation, sensation and overall foot health

- If we spot anything that needs more than routine care, we’ll explain the options clearly

Most people leave thinking the same thing: “I should have done this sooner.”

If foot discomfort is creeping into daily life, book a routine podiatry appointment and get it dealt with early - comfort now, prevention for later.

Small issues become big problems, unless you stay on top of them

People often put up with a minor foot issue until it becomes painful enough to affect work, walking, or exercise.

Routine Podiatry helps prevent that decline by:

- Reducing build-up of callus before it starts to split, bruise, or become painful

- Managing nail problems early before they become ingrown or infected

- Identifying pressure patterns that lead to corns and recurring hard skin

- Spotting early warning signs (skin breakdown, inflammation, changes in nail health)

If you’re repeatedly dealing with the same hot spots, corns, or nail issues, let’s address the cause—not just the symptoms.

03/03/2026

Podiatry is often misunderstood. Yes, we treat day-to-day foot problems - but just as importantly, we look at what’s causing them and how to stop them coming back.

A routine podiatry appointment can help with:

- Hard skin and callus (often a sign of repeated pressure or friction)

- Corns and painful pressure points

- Thickened or difficult nails

- Fungal Infections

- Early advice on footwear and foot care habits

The benefit isn’t only short-term comfort. By reducing pressure points and keeping skin and nails healthy, regular routine care can reduce the risk of problems escalating into pain, infections, or mobility issues.

If your feet are starting to become uncomfortable, don’t wait until it’s more of a problem - book in with one of our experienced, friendly Podiatrists.

Does your child have a persistant verruca?

For many children, we use Verrutop, a painless topical treatment applied in clinic. It’s a good option when:

- The verruca is bothering them (painful, catching, limiting sport)

- Home treatments have been inconsistent or haven't worked

- You want a child-friendly approach with clear guidance

Just as importantly, we’ll also advise when it’s reasonable to monitor rather than treat - because not every verruca needs intervention.

Read our parent’s guide here:

Verrutop is a professional treatment that uses a specially formulated (Nitrizinc Complex) to break down verruca tissue safely and effectively.

Tried everything to treat your Verruca?

If you’ve tried acids, duct tape or freezing kits with little progress, you’re not alone. Some verrucae need a more targeted, clinic-based approach.

Swift microwave therapy is designed to treat verrucae by delivering controlled microwave energy into the lesion. The aim is to stimulate a local immune response so your body can recognise and clear the virus more effectively.

Why patients often choose Swift:

- No dressings required

- Minimal disruption to day-to-day activity

- Suitable for many persistent verrucae, especially when other approaches haven’t worked

As always, the right treatment depends on the person, the verruca type, location, and how long it has been present.

Do you have a painful or unsightly verruca?

Verrucae are caused by a strain of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can be stubborn, and for some people they become painful - especially when they sit under a pressure point.

A few key points we routinely clarify in clinic:

- They’re common (especially in children and active adults).

- They’re not a sign of poor hygiene.

- They can look like a thickened callus, often with tiny dark dots.

- Most verrucae resolve naturally, but others persist for months or longer and can spread.

If it’s painful, spreading, or not improving, it’s worth getting it assessed—particularly to confirm it is a verruca and not another type of skin lesion.

Worried you’ll waste money on foot orthoses? Here’s how we approach it.

You may feel uncertain about custom orthoses — especially if you’ve tried insoles before, or you’ve heard stories of people being sold expensive devices with little benefit.

Our approach is straightforward and professional:

We start with a thorough assessment to confirm what’s actually driving your symptoms

We explain all suitable options - including when orthoses are not the best answer

If foot orthoses are appropriate, they’re prescribed with a clear purpose: reduce strain, improve function, and support recovery

We provide a structured break-in plan and review progress

Adjustments are part of responsible care - we fine-tune when needed

The aim is to get you back to comfortable movement with a plan that makes sense clinically.

Custom orthoses can be genuinely helpful - but only if they’re prescribed with sound clinical reasoning.

When choosing a podiatrist for orthoses, look for:

- A proper assessment first

- Clear explanation of diagnosis and treatment options

- Considers your goals (work, sport, pain relief, activity levels)

- A plan that includes review and adjustment, if needed

- Evidence-informed guidance on whether you need custom vs off-the-shelf support

In short: you want clinical reasoning, not guesswork. Orthoses should be matched to the condition and the individual — not sold as a one-size-fits-all solution.

Foot orthoses: let’s clear up the myths

If you’ve been researching foot orthoses, you’ve probably seen strong opinions at both extremes: “they fix everything” or “they’re pointless.” The truth is more balanced.

Common myths we hear in clinic:

“Orthoses are only for flat feet.” Not true — they can help with a range of issues, depending on diagnosis.

“They weaken your feet.” Not when prescribed correctly and paired with the right advice/exercises where needed.

“Any insole is basically the same.” Off-the-shelf can help some people, but custom orthoses are designed around your foot and your problem.

“If they don’t feel perfect instantly, they’re wrong.” Often there’s a short settling-in period and adjustments can be part of doing it properly.

Orthoses are a tool — not a gimmick and not a magic cure. When they’re prescribed after a proper assessment, they can reduce strain, improve comfort, and help you stay active.
