This week in clinic we’ve seen:

😖 Heel pain that’s been ignored for 6 months
🏃‍♂️ A runner trying to “run through” Achilles pain
🦶 Verrucae that have survived every pharmacy treatment imaginable
😬 Ingrown toenails people are scared to let anyone touch
👞 Corns caused by footwear that’s long overdue replacement

The good news? All of these problems can be improved significantly with the right treatment plan.

And yes… we’ve heard “I wish I’d done this years ago” more than once this week!

Struggling with persistent heel pain from plantar fasciitis?

If rest, stretching, or insoles haven’t solved it, Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) could be the next step.

Here’s why many people are choosing it:

✔️ Stimulates healing in the damaged tissue
✔️ Non-invasive – no injections, no surgery, no downtime
✔️ Clinically proven – strong evidence supporting its effectiveness for long-standing plantar fasciitis
✔️ Quick treatments – sessions typically take just a few minutes
✔️ Gets you back on your feet faster – ideal if pain is limiting work, exercise, or daily life

Most importantly, it’s a great option when symptoms have been lingering for months and not improving with basic care.

If heel pain is starting to dictate your day, it’s worth exploring something that actually helps your body heal.

👉 Message us or book online to see if ESWT is right for you

👣 Verrucae treatments that actually work

If you’ve been struggling with a stubborn verruca that just won’t shift, you’re definitely not alone. They can be painful, frustrating, and often resistant to over-the-counter treatments.

The good news? We offer advanced, evidence-based options to help clear them faster and more effectively:

⚡ SWIFT microwave therapy – a modern treatment that targets the verruca from within, without the need for dressings
💧 Verrutop® – a specialist topical solution that works to break down verruca tissue over a course of treatments

We’ll assess your verruca and recommend the most suitable option based on its size, location, and how long you’ve had it.

👣 No more endless filing, freezing kits, or guessing what might work.

Today we said goodbye to our receptionist Arabella as she heads to live in Hungary 🇭🇺

Arabella has been a fantastic part of the team, always welcoming, organised, and genuinely caring with our patients. She’s played a big role in keeping the clinic running smoothly day to day, often going above and beyond without making a fuss.

We’re really grateful for everything she’s done during her time with us, and she’ll definitely be missed by both the team and our patients.

Wishing you all the best for the future, Arabella.

👣 Struggling with heel pain?

That sharp pain when you take your first steps in the morning… or after sitting for a while… isn’t something you have to just live with.

Heel pain (often linked to plantar fasciitis) is one of the most common problems we see—and the good news is, there are effective solutions.

At our clinic, we don’t just treat the symptoms—we find the cause:

🔍 Diagnostic ultrasound scanning and guided injections
👟 Footwear advice
🦶 Custom foot orthoses
🏃 Personalised exercise programmes
⚡ Extracorporeal shockwave therapy

The earlier you deal with it, the quicker and easier it is to resolve.
