Nail Cutting
Nail cutting is a service that helps improve the health and appearance of nails. Nails are made up of hard keratin, which makes them prone to becoming cracked, ingrown, or deformed as they grow.
Our podiatrists use specialised tools to help trim and shape nails, reducing the risk of damage and infection. Additionally, nail cutting can help improve the appearance of feet and make them easier to keep clean
Callus Removal (Hard Skin)
Calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop over time in response to excessive pressure or friction. Our podiatrists are trained to safely remove calluses with specialised tools such as rasps, scalpels, and files, reducing the risk of infection and improving the appearance of feet. Callus removal can also help relieve discomfort and make it easier to move around without pain
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail is a common condition when the edges of the nail grow into the surrounding skin, causing redness, swelling, and pain. Our podiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat this condition with techniques such as debridement, which involves gently removing the ingrown edges of the nail. They can also provide specialised advice on how to prevent recurrence
Fungal and Thickened Nails
Fungal infections can cause the nails to become thickened, discoloured, and brittle. Our podiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat fungal infections of the nails with topical medications or laser therapy. They can also advise keeping the nails healthy and preventing the disease from recurring
Children's Foot Problems
Children’s feet are still growing and developing, so it is essential to be aware of any issues that may arise. Our podiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat various childhood foot conditions, including flat feet, heel pain, and ingrown toenails. They can also advise on promoting healthy foot development in children
Care for Diabetic Feet
Diabetes can affect the feet’s health in various ways, including poor circulation, nerve damage, and an increased risk of infection. Podiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat the many foot conditions associated with diabetes, such as diabetic neuropathy, foot ulcers, and Charcot’s foot. They can also provide advice on how to prevent future complications
Insoles
Insoles are a shoe inserts designed to provide additional support and cushioning for your feet. They often treat various foot and ankle conditions, from minor heel pain to severe deformities. Insoles are available in different shapes, sizes, materials, and levels of cushioning to suit individual needs. Our podiatrists can help determine the best type of insole for your particular condition.
