What We Offer
Routine Treatment
Following your initial appointment, future routine podiatry and chiropody appointments include helping with painful hard skin, corns, thick or ingrown toenails, dry or cracked heels. Your toenails will be cut, dealing with any problems in the process. All of your painful, unsightly hard skin and corns will be removed, followed by the application of a soothing foot cream to leave your feet feeling refreshed and nourished.
Nail Surgery
The procedure involves an injection of local anaesthetic into each side of the base of the toe so it is numb and pain free during the procedure.
​
A narrow strip of nail will be removed from one or both sides of the affected nail. Alternatively, depending on the complaint, the whole nail can be removed.
​
The exposed part of the nail bed will be treated with a chemical called phenol. This chemical destroys the nail bed and prevents recurrence of the problem in most cases. Following the procedure you will be left with a narrower piece of nail, or if having the whole nail removed when healed there will be no nail, just the nail bed which may slightly thicken.
Falknor's Verruca Needling
Verruca needling is considered an effective option for treating stubborn verrucae, particularly for those that haven't responded to other treatments. It involves puncturing the verruca multiple times with a fine needle under local anaesthetic. This process pushes the virus deeper into the skin, stimulating the body's immune system to recognise and fight the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Needling often requires just one session and can trigger the resolution of other verrucae, with a high success rate and low recurrence.
Verrutop Verruca Treatment
Verrutop is a topical solution for professional use providing painless treatment of difficult verrucae that is highly effective in just a few applications.
Lacuna Fungal Nail Treatment
Several tiny holes are drilled into the nail plate to the nail bed. The number of holes depends on the extent of the infection and also the size of the nail being treated. Once the holes are completed an anti-fungal solution/lacquer is applied over the nail. The holes allow the treatment to reach the source of the infection. The anti-fungal treatment is then applied at home until the infection is clear.
A review is recommended every 6 weeks as more holes may need to be drilled as the nail grows forward.
Any fungal infection of the skin also needs treating to avoid reinfection.
Medical Pedicure
Our Medical Pedicure is a luxurious foot treatment with clinical benefits, performed by an HCPC-registered podiatrist. It includes a full foot health check, routine podiatry care (nail trimming, hard skin and corn removal), gentle exfoliation, hydrating warm mitts, and a relaxing foot and ankle massage. To ensure long-lasting results, this treatment is carried out on dry feet, leaving you feeling like you're walking on a cloud. It’s the perfect combination of treatment and pampering — making your feet healthier, softer, and completely refreshed.
Nail Reconstruction
Toenail reconstruction is a painless procedure that improves the appearance of damaged or discoloured toenails, often due to trauma or infections. Using a flexible UVA resin that hardens under LED light, the reconstructed nail looks natural and adds strength without harming the nail bed.
An initial assessment is required to ensure suitability, with the treatment scheduled for a later date if appropriate.
Diabetic Foot Assessment
This assessment can be added on to any treatment.
People with diabetes may be at risk of developing foot problems. Therefore it is beneficial to see a podiatrist/chiropodist to be screened, at least annually, to detect the presence of nerve damage, reduced circulation and/or foot deformity. Annual reviews allow for the identification of, and monitoring of, any changes in an individual's foot risk status.
