All Foot Problems Treated
If you any concerns about your feet and lower limb then contact us and advice can be given over the phone.
Biomechanics and Gait Analysis
Biomechanics is a term which describes the physical aspects of how the body moves. It studies joints and how muscles, tendons and ligaments bring about and restrict movement. A Podiatrist uses it to work out why a patient may be developing a deformity such as claw toes, bunions, flat feet or why a patient has forefoot/heel/knee or hip pain. Once the cause of the problem is known it is possible to find a solution.
Treatment will include advice on exercise and stretching and may involve prescription and provision of individual appliances and orthotics to compensate for the structural imbalances affecting the function of the feet and legs.
Orthotics
Orthotics are custom made insoles that fit inside your shoes enabling your feet to be held in a more stable position. They are a product of biomechanical research and are designed to correct foot abnormalities by balancing the three most important components of your foot, Bones, Muscles and Tendons.
Routine Appointments Include
Nail Cutting & Care (Inc thick & ingrown)

Ingrown Toenails

Verruca Needling
Under a local anaesthetic and using another needle the verruca is punctured which drives viral tissue into the dermis so an immune response is initiated. After a few months we review you again and in most cases the verruca has resolved.
Neurovascular Assessment
This includes the use of Doppler Ultrasound to listen to the quality of your circulation (from your major arteries in the foot). The integrity of the nervous system is also tested via numerous test. Through this assessment it establishes whether your foot is at risk and if so then advice can be given on how to look after your feet. This assessment can also establish whether you would qualify for NHS treatment.
