Let me help you with your foot care. Many common hand and foot ailments can seem minor, but have a major impact on your daily life – if you can’t manage to cut your toenails, you’ll soon struggle to walk properly. Get in touch with me for help with the following:
Mobile

Toenail Cutting
It is important to have your nails cut correctly. Badly cut nails can cause painful foot problems and lead to ingrowing toenails and infections. I use clean sterile equipment that is autoclave up to a temperature of 136 degrees C.
Corns and Callus Removal
Callus and corns are both very painful and will affect the way you walk and can ultimately lead to balance problems and falls. Removing them requires skill and the correct sterilized equipment.
Foot Advice
Your whole health impacts your feet. Many medical conditions manifest in our feet and sometimes it can be the first indication that we are suffering from a health issue. I am medically trained to exam your feet and detect any problems. I am able to offer footrace and shoe advice.
Nail Surgery
Nail surgery is performed at our on site clinic. The cost includes the nail surgery procedure, dressing pack and a follow up appointment. The cost for Nail Surgery starts at £250.00. If you would like more information about the types of procedures we offer, please contact us or make an appointment.
Diabetes
Taking care of your feet when you have Diabetes is essential. Diabetic patients have reduced healing therefore a small cut can become an ulcer within days. Having your feet cared for by a professional podiatrist who uses sterile equipment is essential. Foot pain can also be a sign of other limb and life threatening conditions such as Charcot Foot.

Wound Management
Wound dressings for leg ulcers or foot injuries need frequent changing. It can be difficult to get the balance right: if your bandage is too tight, it’s uncomfortable. Not tight enough – it falls off. When you, or someone you care for, is struggling to manage dressings on their legs or feet, get in touch. I can pop round every day, every other day or whenever your wound dressing needs to be changed. So why not call me for an appointment.
Rheumotid
Rheumatoid disease and arthritis causes a great deal of pain and deformity in the joints. We have over thirty joints in our foot – which means it is a target for arthritic damage. Taking care of our feet keeps us mobile. Diabetic patients have reduced healing therefore a small cut can become an ulcer within days.
Painful Feet
If our feet hurt are whole body hurts. Mobility is essential so taking care of our feet and legs is paramount to good health.
