What is Biomechanical Assessment and when do you need it?

Are you active? Do you enjoy walking, running, playing football, golf, rugby?
Sometimes you might experience pain in your ankles, arches, under the ball of your foot or in other areas. It can be sharp, aching, sometimes in the morning or after a walk. It comes and goes or may be always there. If you can’t see anything on your foot (redness, corn, verruca), it can be due to overuse of certain structures inside the foot (tendons, muscles, joints).​

In this case biomechanical assessment can help.​

We as a podiatrist, can look at the way you walk, and the structure of your feet, legs and hips.

We can tell you if your shoes need changing, advise you on exercises that can help loosen tight muscles or recommend orthotics that are the best for you. We will try to get you up and running as soon as possible!

Please call the clinic to book on 01451 824301 or book online at www.bourtonpodiatry.com

What is a verruca?

Verruca is a viral skin infection, which caused by the Human Papilloma Virus. It can be contagious and is usually picked up from changing room floors, swimming pools, spas and other wet areas where contact with infected skin scales is most likely. You can get infected if you have small, nearly invisible cuts and abrasions on your feet or cracked heels or fissures in between your toes.

The most susceptible to this infection are children of all ages and people with low immune responses (stress, immune-suppressing medications, auto-immune disorders).
Verruca lesions can be very small or can grow to a size of a walnut. As it grows, infected areas become more uncomfortable and can bleed easily, when filed.

When should I treat my verruca?

Mostly if they cause pain and discomfort. Sometimes there is no need to treat them at all, as they can disappear with time.

Different types of verruca treatments:

- Active debridement with acid based topical treatments (Salicylic acid, Silver Nitrate): usually a part of your appointment, no extra charge.​

- Cryotherapy - freezing with liquid nitrogen: recommended for one-two lesions at a time. Additional charge for the freezing agent will apply.

- Verrutop - effective professional verruca treatment with Nitrizinc complex. Advised to use on no more than three lesions at a time. ​

- Laser Treatment: advanced treatment, that will help reduce verruca lesion and stimulate immune response to fight verruca virus at the same time.​

Most verruca treatments are uncomfortable and can restrict your walking and weight bearing for a few days after treatment. Don't plan long walks!

During your first appointment the best possible treatment will be advised by your podiatrist.

Do you suffer from fungal nails?

They can be yellow, white, black, in some cases all together. Can be thick, thin, brittle. There are lots of options to treat it, but treatment is very challenging and not always successful. However, it is definitely better to treat it and keep the infection under control.

Please call the clinic for more information or to book an appointment.

The therapeutic effects of K-Laser are:

✅Anti-inflammatory
✅Analgesic effect
✅Enhanced local circulation
✅Improved local nerve function
✅Faster tissue repair with minimal scarring in wounds, burns, injuries, post-surgery

and can treat a number of conditions including:

✅Tendinopathies
✅Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
✅Myofascial Trigger Points

What is K-Laser Therapy?

K- Laser is an advanced podiatrist medical therapy, now provided by Bourton Podiatry Clinic.
It can help to treat a number of conditions including Plantar Fasciitis, Osteoarthritis, Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Sports Injuries and Fungal Nails​.

K- Laser Therapy uses selected wavelengths of light to stimulate human tissues. Decades of medical research have identified the wavelengths, energy levels and frequencies that positively stimulate cellular metabolism, accelerating and enhancing the body's own healing and reparative abilities.

K-Laser energy penetrates deep into musculoskeletal tissues and accelerates cell metabolism by increasing blood flow, nutrients absorption, cell division and excretion of waste products. As a result: skin, tendons, ligaments and muscles are repaired faster with reduced inflammation, scarring and pain.

Therapeutic Effects:

Anti-inflammatory
Analgesic effect
Enhanced local circulation
Stimulation of immune system
Improved local nerve function
Faster tissue repair with minimal scarring in wounds, burns, injuries, post-surgery.

Is K-Laser Therapy for me?​

K-Laser therapy is suitable for any age group, any skin tone, and any body size. From athletes to pregnant women, from injured children to infirm elderly people, from acute injuries to chronic conditions: the K-Laser protocols can be tailored to the specific individual.
