Services
General Footcare
Comprehensive routine foot care addressing common conditions like ingrown toenails, discoloured nails, and skin issues. Our chiropodists provide professional assessments and treatments to maintain foot health. Ideal for patients seeking regular maintenance or experiencing minor foot discomfort.
Custom Orthotics
Personalized biomechanical assessments followed by custom-made foot orthotics tailored to individual gait patterns. Using industry-standard casting techniques, we create devices that improve foot function and alleviate pain from improper alignment or structural issues.
Shockwave Therapy
Advanced non-invasive treatment using Swiss DolorClast technology for chronic heel and Achilles tendon pain. This evidence-based therapy stimulates healing in soft tissue injuries, offering effective alternatives to surgery for plantar fasciitis and similar conditions.
Diabetic Footcare
Specialized foot assessments and maintenance programs for diabetic patients. Our chiropodists monitor circulation, nerve function, and skin integrity to prevent complications. Regular check-ups help maintain mobility and reduce amputation risks through early intervention.
Minor Surgical Procedures
Outpatient procedures for foot conditions requiring intervention, performed in-clinic under local anesthesia. Treatments include ingrown toenail corrections, wart removals, and soft tissue biopsies. Our surgical approach prioritizes patient comfort and rapid recovery.
