Specialist treatment for foot pain, bunions, ingrown nails, and gait problems.
Why you might need it
Podiatry focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of foot, ankle, and lower limb problems. It can help with conditions such as heel pain, ingrown toenails, corns, bunions, or foot alignment issues. Our podiatrists work closely with orthopaedic consultants and physiotherapists to restore comfort and mobility.
Who will do it?
Our patients are at the heart of what we do and we want you to be in control of your care.
All of our podiatrists are fully qualified and benefit from working in our modern, well-equipped hospitals and clinics.
Before your treatment
We're here to help you every step of the way. You will have a formal consultation with the podiatrist of your choice. During this time you will be able to explain your medical history, symptoms and any concerns you might have.
Your podiatrist will discuss your medical history with you and perform a thorough assessment of your condition. They will also discuss with you whether they feel any other tests are needed.
With your permission your podiatrist will liaise with your GP or consultant and provide a detailed discharge summary at the end of your treatment.
