We offer treatment, advice and/or management plans for many conditions including:
Thickened nails:
We treat thickened nails by trimming them, removing debris, and addressing underlying conditions to restore nail health.
Fungal nail conditions:
We treat fungal nails with antifungal medications, nail debridement, and prevention strategies to eliminate the infection and restore nail health.
Plantar Fasciitis:
We offer treatment in plantar fasciitis with stretching exercises, orthotics, and pain management to reduce inflammation and heal the fascia. Ingrowing Toe Nails: We treat ingrown toenails by carefully trimming the nail, removing the ingrown portion, offer local anaesthetic if necessary to remove part/complete nail and providing care to prevent infection and recurrence.
Diabetic Assessments:
We perform diabetic assessments to monitor foot health, prevent complications, and manage issues like neuropathy and poor circulation. Hard and Soft Corns: We provide treatment for hard and soft corns by removing the thickened skin, providing cushioning, and addressing the underlying cause to prevent recurrence.
Callus:
We treat calluses by carefully trimming the thickened skin and addressing pressure points to prevent further buildup. Bunions and Hammer/Mallet Toe: Although some can be treated conservatively we can also treat with orthotics, exercises, and, if necessary, surgical correction to alleviate pain and improve foot function.
Bio-Mechanics:
We can assess and correct biomechanics through custom orthotics, gait analysis, and targeted therapies to improve movement and prevent injury.
Cracked Heels/Fissures:
The skin around the heels often thickens, which can become unattractive when wearing sandals and may lead to cracks and bleeding. This condition can be improved, allowing moisturizers (emollients) to be more effective.
Athlete’s Foot:
Accurately diagnosed with appropriate treatment recommended, along with preventative advice provided.
Psoriasis:
We offer care and management of skin and nails impacted by this chronic systemic condition.
Verrucas (Warts):
Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), verrucas can be treated using various methods of differing intensity once properly diagnosed, or appropriate treatments may be recommended.
Flat Feet (Pes Planus):
We can provide support for flat feet (Pes Planus) particularly where orthotics may be required, along with a tailored exercise program if appropriate for the individual patient.
Metatarsalgia (Forefoot Pain):
Metatarsalgia can result from various causes, such as a neuroma or fracture. A thorough examination is essential to identify the underlying issue and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Domiciliary Care:
We can also provide treatments for individuals who, for any reason, require or prefer to receive care in the comfort of their own home.
HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY: If anyone ever attends the clinic and presents with a condition that I am not 100% sure about, I will always try to refer on, where appropriate, to another discipline e.g. Osteopath, Physio, G.P. e.t.c. in order to try to achieve the best possible outcome for that person.
