Podiatry

Podiatrists assess, diagnose and treat problems of the feet, ankles and lower limbs.

We aim to:

  • help relieve painful symptoms 
  • maintain/improve foot function 
  • maintain patient independence 
  • reduce the risk of lower limb amputation 
  • promote and empower patient self care 

Treatments can include:

  • intensive treatment for acute foot conditions
  • palliative foot care for anyone at risk or with a podiatric need
  • vascular and neurological assessment, and wound management  
  • nail surgery using a local anaesthetic
  • biomechanical assessment which may lead to the prescription and manufacture of orthotics for children and adults
  • alternative therapies including marigold and acupuncture  
  • steroid injections  
  • health promotion 
  • podiatric surgery
  • foot care management training sessions
