Podiatry Assessment and Management

The assessment and management clinic can be attended by anyone in need of essential foot care – you may have painful pressure lesions or just be unable to care for your feet. At the clinic you will be given a full assessment and treated accordingly.

*Please note your first visit assessment costs £15  

Nail surgery

This may be necessary for an ingrown or deformed nail that is causing discomfort and other methods have not been successful at resolving the problem.

A comprehensive assessment is made prior to surgery, with follow up care and dressings to promote wound healing, pain relief and resolution of the problem.

Gait Analysis and assessment of sports injuries        

Athletes or people who enjoy sports can sometimes experience recurring painful problems due to biomechanical abnormalities. Our gait analysis clinic will assess and analyse your gait and, if necessary, fit orthoses to help balance your body.

Orthoses management and provision

Orthoses are in-shoe devices that help to balance the way a person walks or runs. We can provide bespoke or modified orthoses for many conditions.

Podo-paediatrics – Bio-mechanical assessment of children's feet

Foot problems in children can present with gait problems, for example, out-toeing or a lack of coordination, which may be related to abnormal foot function.  Exercise induced pains in the leg and foot can also be associated with foot function.  This clinic offers screening and management for any leg, foot or gait problems in children.
