Nail & Skin Care
As podiatrists, we are trained to treat a range of nail and skin conditions affecting the feet. This can usually be performed quickly and painlessly.
Diabetic Screening
We recommend that people at risk of developing foot problems are assessed every six to twelve months to prevent further complications.
Functional Testing
Tight muscles, abnormal joint movement, poor alignment and muscle weakness can be assessed through a biomechanical examination.
Orthotics
Orthotics are insoles that are placed in shoes to help you walk more evenly and rest overused feet. We provide both pre-made and customised orthotics
