SUPPLIER OF FOOTCARE PRODUCTS WITH BRANDS INCLUDING:

TREATMENTS

We provide a range of treatments following assessment and diagnosis this may range from simple toe nail cutting, callus reduction, ingrowing toe nails, verruca, diabetic assessment & orthotic /innersole manufacture. Please call to discuss your particular foot health needs & book an appointment. Unfortunately we cannot give advice over the telephone in most cases, as we really need to see you and assess the problem visually along with taking a relevant medical history.

The below treatments are only a sample of the most common issues that we deal with on a daily basis. An individual treatment plan will be formalised to meet your particular individual needs.

Callus

Callus or hard skin as it is otherwise known is caused by friction and shearing forces between the skin and our footwear. It can be painful, treatment will reduce the build-up & advice on maintenance to reduce its
re-occurrence will be discussed.

Corns

These can be soft or hard in nature dependent on where they form. They are usually formed due to high pressure over one specific area. Consideration needs to be given to the causative factors and treatment will include the use of preventative measures. This maybe by using padding, dressings, orthoses and pressure diverting silicone devices as necessary in each individual case.

Fungal Nails

We can offer some treatment in respect of thinning the nails down mechanically and advise on further treatments you may need to address this condition. As treatment varies from simple topical applications, laser treatments to oral medication dependent on individual medical history and can be a long term application process.

Thickened Nails

Usually caused by trauma, the thickening can be reduced with the use of a specialised burr, this prevents pressure issues underneath the nail plate which could otherwise cause problems in the long term if not treated.

Nail Trimming

It may just be a case that you have lost some of the strength in your hands to be able to cut your own nails or a decrease in mobility which is the problem. Reduced vision could also be a simple reason for needing help with simple nail cutting.

Heel Pain

There are many causes of heel pain, one of the most common is plantar fasciitis, which can be helped by simple cushioning devices/orthotic use, however in some cases the need may arise for further treatments such as steroid injections.
