Treatments Report

All of these conditions would be included in a normal treatment. Sometimes Heather may advise having more complex treatment for specific conditions which might include Ingrowing Toenail or thickened nail removal or specialised insoles to alter the way you walk (Orthotics). Sometimes Heather may recomend purchasing one or a pair of insoles to provide useful padding to relieve pain - these are available at the clinic.

Minor Surgery Report

One side or both sides of a nail can dig into the surrounding skin. This is painful and the area is swollen and red. Infection can occur with pus present. I can deal with the ingrowing nail by trimming the nail, if necessary using local anaesthetic to numb the toe. If the problem is severe or frequent, I can remove the ingrowing portion of the nail permanently, using phenol (a caustic liquid) to kill off the nail cells on the nail bed.

Orthotics Report

Orthotics are prescribed for patients by taking a biomechanical examination that will be used to identify issues that are affecting walking. These can be problems in the foot, the shape of the leg, soft tissue (muscle and tendons) or the shape of bones. One leg may be longer than the other (leg length discrepancy).
