Initial Consultation Your first appointment is a comprehensive session that allows us to get to know you and your foot health needs. It includes a detailed medical history, so we can understand any existing conditions or medications that may affect your treatment plan. We will then carry out a full foot health assessment, followed by any necessary treatments—such as corn and callus removal, nail cutting, or general foot care. (Please note: this appointment does not cover musculoskeletal issues such as plantar fasciitis.)

This will include the routine treatment of any problematic or painful nails, the reduction of hard skin and verruca’s, and removal of corns, or further treatment of foot pain from your initial consultation. As always, we will continue during these appointments, to provide advice as necessary on the care of your feet.

If your main concern or need is just to have your toe nails looked after and there are no other pathological problems associated with them, such as extremely thickened or ingrowing, then you may qualify for the 'simply' treatment plan. This will be discussed and identified at your initial consultation. Terms and conditions apply

Are you experiencing foot, knee or back pain? A biomechanical assessment is a perfect way to investigate the cause and determine treatment. This includes appropriate foot health assessment, and initial treatment where possible, GP letter, biomechanical assessments or orthotics/insoles Insoles are an additional cost.

Benefits of Warm Wax Therapy Warm wax therapy helps to boost blood circulation, relax tense muscles, and ease joint stiffness—making it especially beneficial for individuals with arthritis or chronic pain. The treatment also deeply moisturises the skin, softens calluses, and leaves the feet feeling smooth and rejuvenated. In addition, the gentle warmth promotes stress relief and a deep sense of relaxation.

Nail Surgery Nail surgery is a minor surgical procedure used to remove part or all of a toenail that is severely ingrown, repeatedly infected, or damaged by fungal infection. The procedure is carried out under a local anaesthetic, ensuring the area is completely numb and pain-free. What Is Nail Surgery? Nail surgery involves the partial or total removal of a toenail under local anaesthetic. It is typically recommended when an ingrown toenail causes ongoing pain or infection and can no longer be managed through routine podiatry care. In some cases, surgery may also be advised for toenails that are thickened, deformed, or persistently affected by fungal infection. Who Is Suitable for Nail Surgery? Eligibility for nail surgery depends on the patient’s age, general health, and medical history. It may not be suitable for individuals who are: Pregnant Allergic to local anaesthetic Taking certain medications Suffering from poor circulation A full assessment will always be carried out beforehand to ensure the procedure is safe and appropriate. What Does the Procedure Involve? If nail surgery is recommended, the procedure usually follows these steps: The patient is seated comfortably and the toe is cleaned and disinfected. A local anaesthetic is injected into the toe to completely numb the area. A tourniquet is applied to minimise bleeding during the procedure. The problematic section of the nail (or the entire nail) is carefully removed. A chemical called phenol may be applied to the nail bed to prevent regrowth. The tourniquet is removed, and a sterile dressing is applied. The podiatrist provides aftercare advice, including how to keep the toe clean and promote healing. A follow-up appointment is arranged to check the wound and change the dressing.
