Sometimes referred to as Chiropody, Podiatry involves specialist treatment of foot, ankle and leg related problems to help improve the mobility, independence and quality of life of patients. It deals with trouble associated with the lower limbs, such as lower back pain, heel pain and hip pain, treating anything from corns, calluses and nail care to advanced biomechanics, nail surgery and steroid injections.
Treating with Care
Leading patients through the whole journey - prevention, diagnosis and treatment, we pride ourselves on taking great care, with our approach highly professional, welcoming and friendly, always.
We can deal with more or less any foot or ankle issue, however on the very rare occasion we find we can’t treat you, we will expertly refer you to the best specialists in the area for your individual problem.
Who can Benefit?
- People with lower limb pain or problems walking.
- Diabetes sufferers with circulation problems or those who may be at risk of amputation.
- People with sports injuries or those who spend long hours rehearsing or performing with significant stress on their feet.
