Services
Our podiatrists treat the full range of toe, foot, ankle and knee problems as shown by the list below - whatever's troubling you we are here to help! As part of your assessment we will also design a personal treatment plan for you to follow. We work hard to try and find an approach that will meet your needs and lifestyle in an effort to give you the best possible results within the constraints of what you might realistically be able to achieve.
It's easy to forget about your feet until something goes seriously wrong. We have regular checks on our teeth, we pay special attention to our hair and nails, but in many cases, our feet go unattended!
Regular checks can help to avoid many issues by ensuring you are looking after your feet, assisting with routine maintenance (e.g. to avoid build up of hard skin) and identifying problems such as verrucas or other infections so they can be treated early.If things do go wrong then we are always here to help.

If you need information about home visits please call the clinic. However, we encourage patients to attend appointments in clinic wherever possible. This ensures we have all of our equipment/facilities available to us and a bright, sterile environment in which to treat all of your foot problems. Our podiatrists treat patients from Barnet, Cockfosters, Potters Bar, Finchley, Enfield, St Albans and across North London and Hertfordshire.
By combining her clinical and medical expertise with Anatomy in Motion (AiM) techniques, Afni Shah-Hamilton's pain and movement clinic is having great success in bringing lasting relief and resolving long standing issues for patients who had tried various solutions without success. For a quick introduction to this, please see our video.
A common problem for a number of our patients is ingrown or ingrowing toenails. We can offer corrective surgery for advanced cases but we usually try to work with you to find other, less invasive, options where possible. Basically it is where the toenail (most commonly on the big toe) begins growing into the surrounding skin.

I have been to see Afni twice, and I cannot recommend this clinic more highly!!! I had Morton’s Neuroma and was facing surgery to fix the problem, I’d not been able to walk properly or with out crutches for several months, Afni treated my problem and changed my life from agony when walking to being able to walk without any pain or issues since. It’s been a almost 2 years since this and I’ve had no more issues. If you have place. Or movement issues this is the place to go!! Spotlessly clean and extremely friendly staff. Simple the best!!!!

I have been going to this practice for nearly a year now for AIMS (body work). I am so glad I found this because when I leave there I always feel 10 years younger. I started off with really bad arm pain and this has now gone completely. It is difficult to explain exactly what she does during a session because it is so individual and unique but it really works and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Afni is the best medical specialist I've ever been to!
In the past few years I had big issues with my feet having new injuries all the time: achilles, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and pain. I had to stop doing exercise or even walking too much.
I visited a few podiatrists that recommended me insoles, exercises and different approaches with no real solution.
In just one session, Afni realised where the real issue came from and relieved me from quite of the pain and discomfort. After that, and following her guidance over the months, my feet are in a quite good condition and even starting doing

Mrs. Afni Shah-Hamilton is amazing! For over 24 years I struggled with toenail infection. My nail was brittle, not sticking to the nail-bed and discoloured. But after a few months of treatment, my nail is growing out healthy, strong and clear! Now, I can’t wait for summer to wear open toe shoes... Thanks so much Mrs Afni and the friendly staff at Tiptoe Foot Care.

Afni Shah-Hamilton is the best!
Not only that my ankle is back to normal after a bad sprain and my hips started to align with simple treatment and exercises, but Afni helped fixing the digestive problems as well with the with Anatomy in Motion (AiM) technique. I am highly recommending her techniques. If you have similar issues, do ask her a question - even if it sounds crazy, Afni might have a solution for you.

Yesterday my wife had a consultation with Marie at Tiptoe Foot Care. She has been to other podiatrists in the past but this was the first time she had been to Tiptoe. Without any doubt whatsoever, this was by far the most professional podiatrist she has ever been to. Marie investigated all aspects of my wife's health that were relevant to her foot problems, gave here detailed advice and then spent a long time working on her feet. And all in a very friendly way. A definite 5 stars.

I have recommended Tiptoe to friends and family members. Afni is fantastic. I first saw her about nine years ago when I had a sore foot and now go for regular podiatry sessions which keep my feet pain-free.
I also have had two excellent AIM sessions with Afni after mentioning to her in passing that I had started to get migraines and had very tight jaw and shoulder muscles. Afni was able to quickly diagnose the problem and to suggest some simple but very effective remedial exercises which we did together and then I could continue to do at home. I haven't had a migraine since! One session can really

Highly recommended - my GP recommended Afni to me due to problems with my toes. Afni carried out an assessment using the AIM technique and advised that the issues were not only due to my feet but also my posture, she recommended exercises for both. After seeing Afni for just over a year there is such a great improvement and I am pain free. She is so professional and explains everything in detail which has helped me understand why I was having problems and what I can do to avoid them reoccurring in the future.

Amazing! Afni quickly assessed that I had dislocated my toe, from an injury over 20 years ago! she corrected it and is helping me to address all the issues this has caused over the years, particularly my chronic hip bursitis. I’ve seen numerous Physio’s, osteopaths, and even an orthopaedic consultant, no one else had identified the root cause. I have only had 2 sessions and I feel so much better already. I’ve been making appointments for my friends and family with Afni and I know they will be equally impresssd.

I had an excellent AIM session with Afni this evening. I am not a competitive runner, but three months ago I broke my neck of femur whilst running - I did not fall, it just happened mid stride. I had an… operation to insert a dynamic hip screw and since then I have been unable to walk without at least one crutch.
During the session, Afni identified that my hips and shoulders were misaligned, with one higher the other and it is likely that this misalignment resulted in poor running technique, causing the fracture. Afni was able to use some wedges alongside some balance exercises which have

I was recommended to Afni by my daughter who had been treated successfully for stubborn verruca a few years ago. I have since been having regular treatments for corns and calluses which I build up by wearing high heels. Unlike a number of other chiropodists’ treatments I had tried before, Afni’s treatment has reduced my problem considerably, and after each visit I feel as if I was given a new pair of feet.
Afni is highly qualified, very professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of foot care, and I very quickly developed a feeling of trust and confidence of being in safe hands. Her clinic
