Continuity

The assessment, the treatment and the follow-up are always done by the same professional.

Access

Entrance at street level with no steps, and a room adapted for older people and those with reduced mobility.

By appointment

Care is by appointment. What you send through the website is a request, and the clinic confirms the time with you.

These are the treatments carried out at the clinic. If you are not sure which one applies to you, there is no need to decide before coming: at the first appointment the foot is examined and you are told what can be done and in what order.

All treatments

Chiropody

The core foot-health treatment: hard skin and callus removal, nail cutting and filing, and a check of the skin and weight-bearing areas.
Ingrown toenails

When the edge of the nail digs into the skin and the area becomes inflamed. The spicule causing the pain is removed and the cause addressed.
Plantar warts

A plantar wart is a viral lesion on the sole of the foot. It hurts when you step and it needs treatment: it rarely clears on its own.
Fungal and bacterial infections

Nails that change colour or thicken, skin that itches or flakes between the toes. The first step is knowing what it is: not everything is fungal.
Gait and footprint assessment

Looking at how you stand and how you walk, to understand where the pain comes from. It is the step before deciding whether insoles are needed.
Custom insoles

Insoles made from an impression of your foot and from what the gait assessment showed. Not a size off the shelf: your foot.
Silicone orthoses

Silicone devices moulded to measure directly on the foot to separate, protect or realign a toe that rubs or hurts.
Children’s podiatry

A child’s foot is still growing, and that changes the criteria: some things are normal at three years old and not at seven.
Diabetic foot

Regular foot checks for people with diabetes. The aim is to keep a small problem from becoming a big one.
Sports podiatry

A foot that runs, jumps and brakes takes loads that never appear when walking. We look at your gait in motion, your sports shoes and the niggles that show up in training.
Minor surgery

When a nail becomes ingrown again and again, or a lesion does not resolve with conservative treatment, there is a surgical option in the clinic under local anaesthetic.
