A & A Podiatrists and Associates was formed in 2001 in Radlett. Michael Abrahams is joined by Craig in the clinic with Joseph Gaffin providing a home visiting service. Podiatrists are regulated by the Health and Care Prlofessions Council and we are members of the Royal Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists. The clinic provides a breadth of services internally and has a network of professionals we refer to if surgery or physiotherapy is required. Podiatry is the newer name for Chiropody. It encompasses all aspects of foot health. From hard skin, cracked heels and corn removal to verrucae, ingrown toenails and foot infections. We will look after feet requiring extra care for example those with diabetes, poor circulation or nerve damage. Biomechanincal assessment will allow an indepth investagation into foot function and can help to alleviate foot, leg or back pain caused by high or low arches. Orthotic foot supports and insoles can be made or provided to help improve foot function. We also have the facility to treat fungal infected nails with laser treatment avoiding the need for long term tablets or lacquers. The MLS laser is an effective treatment for plantar fasciitis and arthritis, tendonitis and other soft tissue inflammations. Naomi Burns Physiotherapst is in the clinic three times a week treating the full spectrum including foot problems. The clinic is relaxed and children or nervous patients are put at ease. The practice manager Lindsay ensures patients appointments and needs are looked after and ensure the smooth running of the clinics.
