What we treat
From routine nail care to nail surgery, gait analysis, and shockwave therapy — here is what we offer at both clinics.

A safe, comfortable nail cutting service with sanitised instruments — useful if you struggle to reach your feet, have thickened nails, or just want them tidied properly. Quick to book, no fuss.

Comprehensive routine foot care to keep things in good condition between visits. Includes thorough callus and hard-skin reduction and professional nail care for problem toenails.

Annual diabetic foot assessments covering circulation, sensation, and skin health, with a written report you can share with your GP. New patients are given a full first-visit evaluation and a plan tailored to their needs.

An in-depth assessment of how you stand, walk, and run. We identify the underlying movement patterns behind heel pain, shin pain, or recurring injuries and put together a personalised plan — including footwear and orthotic advice where appropriate.

A specialist procedure for problem toenails that keep coming back. We assess the nail and surrounding tissue under local anaesthetic and, depending on the cause, perform partial or total nail removal with treatment of the nail bed to prevent recurrence.

Verrucas can be stubborn, so we work through the options together and pick what fits you best. Treatments range from topical applications and cryotherapy through to needling — a one-session immune-mediated procedure for resistant verrucas.

A non-invasive treatment that uses focused acoustic pulses to help painful soft-tissue conditions in the foot and lower leg. Particularly useful for stubborn plantar fasciitis and Morton's neuroma when other approaches have not settled things down.

Custom support for your feet to relieve pain, share load more evenly, and improve how you move. We fit semi-bespoke devices that adapt off-the-shelf shells to your foot, and fully bespoke orthotics made to a cast or scan of your foot when an exact fit is needed.

Same-week appointments for sudden foot pain, an inflamed ingrown toenail, a fall, or anything else that cannot wait. We keep capacity in the diary so we can see urgent problems quickly at either clinic.
