Services
General Podiatry
Our comprehensive foot health assessments address routine concerns including nail care, corns, and calluses. Expert podiatrists provide both preventative maintenance and targeted treatments for common foot conditions. Patients benefit from immediate intervention and ongoing management plans tailored to individual needs.
3D Gait Analysis
Advanced biomechanical evaluation using 3D motion capture technology identifies movement abnormalities. This informs custom orthotic prescriptions and rehabilitation programmes for improved mobility. Particularly beneficial for sports injury recovery and chronic pain management.
Fungal Nail Treatment
Specialised interventions for onychomycosis include topical antifungals and advanced therapies. Treatment plans address both cosmetic concerns and potential complications for diabetic patients. Regular monitoring ensures effective eradication of infections.
Diabetic Foot Care
Comprehensive assessments monitor circulation and nerve function in diabetic patients. Specialised wound care prevents complications through regular check-ups and prompt intervention for ulcers or infections. Multidisciplinary approach reduces amputation risks.
Orthotics Prescription
Custom-made biomechanical devices correct gait abnormalities and alleviate pain. Each prescription follows detailed analysis using pressure mapping and gait assessment. Patients receive ongoing adjustments to optimise mobility and comfort.
