Solutions
- Corns and calluses can be painlessly removed.

- In-growing nails can be treated conservatively with trimming and packing; or, for
difficult or recurring cases, nail surgery under local anaesthesia is available to
permanently correct the problem.
- Heels pain can be addressed using a combination of therapies (ice, exercises, taping,
ultrasound and, if necessary, Orthotics).
A visit to our clinic will involve;
- A treatment based on these.
- Painful sites on the feet can be alleviated with padding, silicone shields, physical
therapies and shoe inserts.
- For problems which are biomechanical in origin Orthotics are available where appropriate.
- Regular nail and foot care can be provided for patients whose feet are at risk. This

in the feet.
