Our Services

We provide treatment and advice for the following conditions :-

Diabetic Foot Care

It’s very important to look after your feet if you have diabetes as it can reduce the blood supply to your feet and cause a loss of feeling.

Corn Removal

When corns appear on weight-bearing areas of the foot, the pressure caused by the corn can make them very uncomfortable and quite painful to walk on.

Callus Reduction

Calluses are hard, thickened areas of skin. They are often found around the heel or under the ball of the foot as these areas take most weight when you walk.

Cracked Heels

Dry, cracked heels can be a source of pain and can look unsightly. Cracked heels are usually caused by dry, thickened skin splitting under pressure.

Nail Trimming/Thinning

Our nail cutting service is available to those who have impaired eyesight, reduced mobility because of arthritic changes, or an inability to reach their feet.

Ingrown Toenails

This develops when the sides of the toenail grow into the surrounding skin. The big toe is most commonly affected. The nail curls and pierces the skin, which becomes swollen.

Fungal Toenails

They’re not usually serious, but can be unpleasant and difficult to treat. The infection develops slowly and causes the nail to become thickened and distorted.

Athletes Foot

Athlete’s foot is caused by a fungus that usually appears between or under the toes or the bottom of the feet.
