Clinic services
Assessment and treatment for a range of foot concerns, with clear explanations and recommendations tailored to your needs.
01
A nail edge presses into or grows into the surrounding skin, which can cause pain, redness or swelling.
An assessment looks at the nail, surrounding skin, nail trimming and pressure from footwear. Care is tailored to the area and its sensitivity. For recurring cases, orthonyxia may be considered after an assessment.
02
Thickened skin often develops after repeated pressure or friction and can feel tender when walking.
A podiatrist can carefully reduce excess thickened skin and look for pressure points. Footwear changes or suitable padding may help reduce friction; recommendations depend on the assessment.
03
A plantar wart can look like thickened skin and may hurt when pressure is placed on it.
An assessment helps determine whether a lesion may be a viral wart and what care or follow-up is suitable. Seek medical advice if it changes, spreads, bleeds or becomes very painful.
04
Dry, thickened heel skin can split and cause discomfort or pain.
Care may include gently reducing thickened skin where appropriate and advice on skin care. A deep crack, bleeding, redness or signs of infection should be assessed by a medical professional.
05
Fungal infections can affect the skin or nails; nail changes can also have other causes.
A professional assessment helps review the skin and nails and whether medical testing is needed. You can also receive guidance on foot care, hygiene and reducing recurrence.
06
Diabetes can reduce sensation in the feet, making it harder to notice rubbing or a wound.
An assessment includes checking the skin and nails and discussing a regular care routine. If you notice a wound, redness, swelling or a change in skin colour, contact your doctor or care team promptly.
07
Orthonyxia is a small device attached to the nail that may help in some recurring ingrown toenail cases.
A podiatrist checks the nail shape and surrounding skin to see whether this method may be suitable. It is not right for every case, so suitability is assessed individually.
Treatments follow careful hygiene practices and use sterilized or single-use instruments.
Walking and posture
Custom orthotics are made following a clinical assessment of your feet, posture and walking pattern.

A foot impression is taken and the orthotics are shaped to your feet and needs.
The orthotics are checked and adjusted in your shoes with you present.
Please bring the shoes you usually wear and any medical imaging or test results you have.
The assessment looks at static and dynamic posture while standing and walking, and examines the lower limbs: feet, ankles, knees, hips, pelvis and spinal alignment. The findings help identify factors that may be linked to discomfort or difficulty walking and whether custom orthotics may be suitable.
Custom orthotics are medical devices made for the individual. For some difficulties related to posture, walking or running, they may support movement and pressure distribution, and may help prevent, reduce or correct problems affecting the foot, ankle, knee, hip or back. Suitability and goals are assessed individually.
An individual foot impression is taken. The orthotics are then heated and moulded to match the shape of the feet, with the intended action in three planes of movement.
The orthotics are made in our workshop, then checked and adjusted inside your shoes with you present. They can be adapted for everyday, work or sports footwear according to your needs. Please bring the shoes you usually wear and any available imaging or medical records.
