Services
Nail surgery
Specialist nail surgery addresses ingrowing toenails through partial or total nail avulsion under local anaesthesia. Our practitioners use modern techniques to permanently correct deformities while maintaining aesthetic appearance. Patients receive post-operative care instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing, with most returning to normal activities within 24 hours.
Verruca treatment
Customised verruca treatments consider factors like size, location, and patient age. Options include acid applications, cryotherapy, and soft tissue interventions. Our approach balances effectiveness with patient comfort, with pricing determined by treatment complexity. Follow-up care ensures complete resolution of viral infections.
Biomechanical assessments
Comprehensive gait cycle evaluations identify abnormalities causing foot pain or performance issues. Using observational analysis and pressure mapping, we diagnose conditions like overpronation and leg length discrepancies. Treatment plans may include orthotics, stretching regimes, or footwear recommendations to improve biomechanical efficiency.
Routine treatments
Regular foot care services address common issues including corns, calluses, and fungal infections. Our practitioners provide safe, hygienic treatments for nail trimming, skin smoothing, and moisture management. These sessions help maintain foot health and prevent minor issues from developing into serious conditions requiring surgical intervention.
Postural analysis
Integrated postural assessments examine how foot mechanics affect overall body alignment. We identify compensatory patterns leading to knee, hip, or back pain through dynamic movement analysis. Customised treatment plans may combine orthotic therapy with stretching and strengthening exercises to improve whole-body biomechanics.
