Podiatry

 

Our Specialist Podiatrist excels in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of Common Foot and Ankle Injuries.

They treat ingrown toenails, corns, hard skin, verrucaes, and fungal infections.

Our podiatrist also does Biomechanical Assessments, and can assist in bespoke insoles or orthotics, e.g. if you have very flat feet or you overpronate during walking or running. They can also give advice on shoewear.
