A 40 minute appointment (1 hour for the 1st appointment) that treats a range of conditions which include, general nail cutting, corns, hard skin, calluses and fungal infections such as athlete’s foot and fungal infection of the nail.
Musculoskeletal Appointments
We offer a 40 minute ‘Heel Pain’ appointment for patients who are suffering from pain in their foot and/or ankle. Such pain is usually associated with conditions such as plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopathy.
We also offer extended, hour long, musculoskeletal appointments for patients where pain is located above the ankle, where a deeper investigation of symptoms and patient biomechanics is required or when the pain is the result of a sporting injury or accident.
All patients who would like to book a ‘Heel Pain’ appointment must first use our online assessment tool to check whether their condition can be treated in our ‘Heel Pain’ clinic.
Ingrown toenails
Treatment for toenails that have grown into the surrounding skin. Big toes are often affected, either on one or both sides. Nails curl and pierce the skin, which becomes red, swollen and tender.
Verruca

These include traditional treatments such as the use of salicylic acids along with other methods such as cryotherapy and topical treatments such as ‘Verrutop’ that have been proven to be very effective when treating difficult warts and verruca.

Shockwave Treatment for Cellulite.
We now offer Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy reduction treatment for Cellulite. Shockwave Therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing the appearance of cellulite in patients.
The effectiveness was first noticed when athletes, who were being treated for tendonitis using shockwave therapy, noticed that the cellulite on their legs had become less noticable.
Shockwave therapy breaks down the connective fibrous walls, which trap fat & toxins into bumps under skin. It releases clogged fat, water & toxins and improves lymphatic drainage.
Treatment using Shockwave Therapy increases blood circulation, strengthening the dermis & epidermis and producing fresh, thicker bands of collagen, along with stronger and smoother skin.
Shockwave Therapy can improve the appearance of cellulite by up to 1 grade.
