Services
At Acorn we pride ourselves in providing friendly foot care services from simple corns, ingrown toenails and verrucae treatments. To more complex biomechanical issues causing joint or muscular pains. Our surgeries are conveniently located throughout South Wales with easy access and within city/town centres along high streets.
Our treatment menu includes: At Acorn we commonly come across a variety of conditions that we treat such as: hard skin, corns (as well as neurovascular corns), ingrown toenails (conservatively and surgically) verrucae/warts, joint and muscular pains and more. We want to understand you and your feet.
Problematic nails that are thick, ingrown or damaged can be very debilitating and unsightly. This can lead to the surrounding skin and nails becoming infected with bacteria or fungus. At Acorn Sports Podiatry, we see a diverse range of problematic nail conditions which can be treated by our HCPC registered podiatrists.
A biomechanical assessment involves the podiatrist examining the alignment, structure and function of your bones and muscles. These assessments are highly beneficial if you are experiencing pain in your lower limbs. Gait analysis is also available at Acorn Sports Podiatry as part of a full biomechanical assessment.
Cortisone injections, otherwise known as steroid injections, are a powerful anti-inflammatory treatment used to help relieve pain and inflammation and, in some instances, cure the condition treated. They are most commonly injected into larger joints such as knees, ankles and elbows but can also be injected into smaller joints such as metatarsals in the feet.

The practice was fantastic. The podiatrist Pretash Kerai was extremely professional, providing me with all necessary information and advice on the range of treatment options available for my verruca. The needling process I had was expertly handled and the after care service brilliant. I would thoroughly recommend Acorn.

My Daughter was suffering with excessive veruccas on both feet & after trying almost everything on the market we were at our wits end. Pretesh advised us to try the Faulkners needling treatment & it is amazing!! No more veruccas! Every single one has gone, after one treatment, quite literally, it’s like magic! Thank you so, so much Pretesh, it has literally changed her life! 1000% recommended! X

I came to Acorn/Pretesh with a mysterious foot pain that was making walking difficult, I was really concerned for my future mobility.
After correct diagnosis and treatment I’m back to long walks over any terrain. My feet and ankles are getting stronger and the pain has gone away.
I’m really pleased with the whole experience and would recommend.

I’ve been going to Acorn Podiatry for near enough 8years now, and visit every 6-8 weeks for treatment on persistent ingrowing toe nails. The service and treatment I have received has always been excellent. Pretesh (and Val) are so lovely, friendly and welcoming, and carry out their treatment to a high standard. I recently had to take my 6yr old son to see Pretesh as he too has started to develop ingrowing toenails (hereditary I’m told). My son was nervous at first, but Pretesh soon put him at ease, and gained his trust so he was able to carry out the necessary treatment. I would absolutely

I can recommend Pretesh and his practice enough! He was friendly, helpful and reliable which took a lot of the stress out of the process. He was always able to answer any of my questions and concerns with the upmost professionalism. Pretesh did a fantastic job when it came to the treatment and I felt most at ease. Thank you for making what can be a stressful process that little bit easier, I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I’ve been going to Acorn for nearly a year( every 8-10 weeks) to correct two badly grown nails on my big toes. They are nearly perfect (my nails do grow very slow) I wish I had a before and after pic’ to see how much better they are. I would highly recommend these guys for any problems or concerns you have about your feet. There’s no need to suffer! They can make your feet pretty again 👍🏻

Everything was great. Arranging an appointment was straightforward, the options and procedures were clearly explained to me, and the treatment (Faulkner's needle) was fine. The verrucae stayed for several weeks. I couldn't see any difference, but Sarah could. Weeks later, they were gone. Extremely happy, totally satisfied, and would highly recommend. Many thanks!

Excellent clinic with a professional approach and a friendly smile. I found Pretesh to be professional, friendly and above all, knowledgeable.
He was quick to point out what was causing the pain at the back of my heels and demonstrated how my feet were working and linked it to the reasons behind why I was getting the pain. He offered shockwave therapy, and with a few sessions, the pain has almost completely gone. Highly recommended!
