As a fully qualified Podiatrist and Chiropodist, I have the skills and experience to deal with any foot problems that you may have. I undertake an easy and safe procedure under local anaesthetic to resolve the problematic nail. The scanning system consists of a platform with sensors that capture the respective pressures, both statically and dynamically.
Since qualifying from the SMAE Institute as a surgical chiropodist in 2002, I have run my private practice and remained at the forefront of my profession, ensuring that my patients receive the best possible care and attention. During these early stages I studied biomechanics and cryosurgery whilst building my initial client-base.

An ingrown nail can be troublesome and painful. I undertake an easy and safe procedure under local anaesthetic to resolve the problematic nail. This procedure takes approximately 1 hour. Nail surgery is total or partial removal of a toenail using local anaesthetic. A chemical called phenol is then applied to the nail-bed to stop the removed area from growing back.
This is a quite common issue, affecting people of all ages. Factors contributing to their occurrence can be poor nail maintenance, sports injuries, steel-toe capped boots and footwear, and even congenital propensity.
We explore the avenues of possible treatment upon consultation to aid in resolving the problem and pick the best course of treatment most effective for the individual case as presented, including nail bracing, packing, or a procedure known as 'Avulsion', using a local anaesthetic.I specialise in performing partial and full operative nail avulsion's - a particularly effective long-term solution, with a re-growth rate of just 3% on average.

The scanning system consists of a platform with sensors that capture the respective pressures, both statically and dynamically, during the different phases of gait. Informative for both the practitioner and the patient - it allows us to diagnose the type of footprint per individual and detect its need for alterations, risk factor for injury, causes for pre-existing pathologies.

It is important for diabetics to take extra care of their feet, as they are particularly prone to poor circulation and numbness in this area. If you are diabetic, diabetic assessments are advised every 6-12 months, priced accordingly.
