What is Podiatry / Chiropody?
Podiatry, which is a modern word for chiropody, is performed by podiatrists. Our Podiatrists assess, diagnose, and treat conditions relating to the foot and the lower limb. Many conditions treated by podiatrists are on the surface of the foot, such as corns, callus, and ingrown toenails. Our expert range of Chiropody / Podiatry services can help alleviate any foot pains you may have, helping you feel like a completely new person. So no matter the type of pain, get it fixed fast by calling us today. Our range of services includes:

Our Services
Nail Infections
Nail infections in podiatry care involve fungal or bacterial organisms affecting toenails, causing discoloration, thickening, crumbling, pain, and sometimes odor. Risk factors include trauma, tight footwear, diabetes, and moist environments. Treatment options include debridement, topical or oral antifungals, laser therapy, and hygiene advice. Early assessment prevents complications and improves outcomes.
Nail Fungus
Nail fungus in podiatry care is a common infection causing yellow or brown discoloration, thickening, brittleness, and debris under the nail, often with a mild odour. Risks include sweaty feet, tight shoes, trauma, and diabetes. Management includes nail debridement, topical or oral antifungals, laser therapy, footwear advice, and moisture control to prevent recurrence.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when the nail edge grows into surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and possible infection. Podiatry care includes proper nail trimming, offloading pressure, antiseptic care, and partial nail avulsion with or without matrixectomy for recurrent cases. Advice on footwear, hygiene, and early treatment helps relieve symptoms and prevent complications.
Biomechanics
Biomechanics in podiatry examines how the feet and lower limbs move and bear load. Assessment includes gait analysis, joint motion, muscle strength, and alignment to identify causes of pain, overuse injuries, and deformity. Care may involve targeted exercises, orthoses, footwear modification, activity advice, and training adjustments to restore function and prevent recurrence.
Nail Surgery
Nail surgery in podiatry treats painful or recurrent nail problems, such as ingrown or deformed nails. Procedures include partial or total nail avulsion, often with chemical or surgical matrixectomy to prevent regrowth. Care involves local anesthesia, sterile technique, wound management, and follow-up. Benefits include pain relief, reduced infection risk, and improved function.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are tailor-made insoles that support foot structure and improve alignment. Podiatrists assess gait, pressure, and biomechanics to address pain, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, arthritis, and sports injuries. Devices redistribute load, enhance stability, and reduce strain. Materials and design are chosen for activity needs, with follow-up to refine fit and outcomes.
Verruca Treatment
Verruca treatment in podiatry targets plantar warts caused by HPV, presenting as painful, rough lesions with black dots on weight-bearing areas. Care may include debridement, salicylic acid, cryotherapy, needling, or laser, plus offloading to reduce pain. Hygiene advice and regular reviews help prevent the spread and improve clearance rates.
Diabetic Foot Assessment
Diabetic foot assessment in podiatry evaluates circulation, sensation, skin integrity, and foot structure to identify ulcer and infection risk. It includes vascular checks, neuropathy screening with monofilament, callus and deformity review, footwear inspection, and education. Regular monitoring, pressure offloading, and prompt treatment reduce complications, prevent ulcers, and support mobility.
Medical Pedicure
A medical pedicure in podiatry focuses on safe, hygienic foot care. It includes sterile debridement of callus and corns, reduction of thick or fungal nails, treatment of cracked heels, and management of ingrown edges. Podiatrists assess skin and biomechanics, advise on footwear and hygiene, and tailor care to relieve pain and improve comfort.
Shock Wave Therapy
Shockwave therapy in podiatry uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic foot and ankle conditions, such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. It promotes blood flow, reduces pain, and breaks down scar tissue. Treatment is non-invasive, performed in sessions, often combined with stretching, load management, and orthotics for better outcomes.
Nail Reconstruction
Nail reconstruction in podiatry restores damaged or misshapen toenails for comfort and appearance. Techniques include medical-grade resin or gel to rebuild the plate after trauma, infection, or surgery. Care involves debridement, shaping, and hygiene advice. Results improve protection, reduce pressure and pain in footwear, and can be maintained with periodic reviews.

We acknowledge the significance of maintaining foot health, especially for the elderly. Limited mobility can lead to some elderly individuals becoming unable to independently care for their feet. Moreover, we have noticed various cases that would usually be disregarded by healthcare organizations’ referral criteria for specialized foot care services.
