Foot Thermography Scanning
This uses the Thermpix device produced by USA Therm, a new state of the art technology machine, with AI reporting capabilities.
We recommend Thermpix scanning for all of our patients at six monthly intervals, as it enables us to 'see the invisible' , it allows us to picture temperature differences between the feet and lower legs potentially diagnosing conditions which otherwise may have been missed and allowing for better monitoring of lower limb health.
Thermal Foot Scanning is great for a visual guide in regards to your foot health, for diagnosis and prevention of problems, and is essential for peace of mind and well-being for all.
Especially important for anyone with any of the following conditions;
Diabetes
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Thyroid Condition
Lower Limb Arterial Circulation Problems
and even having Chemotherapy as these can all potentially seriously affect foot health.
Just some of the conditions which can be identified from a scan;
Fractures
Chilblains
Raynaud's Syndrome
Gout
You will get a copy of the report send to you for your records, and we will discuss this with you as part of your personalised treatment plan.

Shoe Fitting, Measuring and Supply
We offer a measuring, fitting, ordering and supply service for ladies and men's shoes.*
We supply shoes which offer comfort, style, extra width and depth with no compromise to fashion.
The shoes which we order can be wider and deeper than usually found on the high street and therefore they can accommodate a wide variety of foot sizes and shapes.
Initially we did not sell shoes and it only came about because of the large number of patients that we had with foot complaints which were being made worse by poor fitting footwear.
These patients had previously had difficulty in getting the correct fit of shoe, even when measured in various shoe shops and Mr Morris could see that they required a more bespoke measuring service which took into consideration their foot type, condition and problems. This is something which he knew he would be able to offer in order for patients to have the benefits of such.
Since then we have had many happy customers who often return for a new pair of shoes once or twice a year, many also having bespoke insoles to offer them further comfort.
If you have trouble getting shoes to fit your feet well and with comfort or know someone else who would benefit then give us a try, see what we offer, give us a call. We offer shoe measuring and fitting to both our patients and to the general public.
All shoe measuring and fitting by appointment only.
* only available through supplier who we are using at the present time
Low Level Laser Therapy
Laser therapy employs low power or ‘soft’ laser light to aid the natural healing process of the body safely and effectively.
Laser therapy achieves improved outcomes in the treatment of plantar fasciitis (policeman's heel), tendonitis, neuropathic and phantom pain, diabetic ulceration, rheumatoid and osteoarthritic, joints, chronic oedema, warts and verrucae.
Patients respond quickly when treating soft tissue conditions and pain, with results usually evident in the first 1-2 treatments. Other conditions vary with verrucae often requiring 5-10 treatments.
Low level laser therapy is also used by hospitals, both NHS and private, particularly for wound healing and in their pain clinics.
Onyfix - Pain Free, Non-invasive Nail Correction System
The Onyfix® nail correction system from Germany, is a new and innovative product for the pain-free treatment of involuted, pincer and ingrowing toenails.
Onyfix® is a Class 1 Medical Device that is applied to your nail at its widest part. As your nail grows, it will retrain your nail back into a natural position and shape. The whole process takes several months to complete but is completely painless during application and while wearing the Onyfix® band.
Instant relief can be achieved with Onyfix® without having to resort to nail surgery. Onyfix® is suitable for adults, children and diabetics.
How Onyfix® Works
1. The Onyfix® composite is applied to the nail at the widest point to create a band or at the corner where the nail is pinching to provide instant relief of discomfort.
2. After the composite is cured in the LED light, Onyfix® is fixed to the nail in its proximal shape without any tension.
3. The Onyfix® nail correction system ensures that the nail shape is retrained as the nail grows naturally. This can take several months.
4. Once complete, the composite is removed and the nail continues to grow naturally.

EXCITING UPDATE!
COMING SOON FOR AN ENHANCED PATIENT EXPERIENCE!
To help patients understand their foot problems - Carl is in the process of setting up a personal protective equipment visor with a head camera attached which will live stream to a monitor behind his head as he is working so that the patient in the chair can see their treatment in progress.
This will be beneficial in a number of ways, including that the patient can see, understand and engage easier with us to better treatment outcomes. A few examples:
- A patient is unable to bend to see a mole under their foot - they will be able to see this on the TV via Carl's head camera.
- A patient cannot see the curvature of their nail plate which is exacerbating an ingrowing toe nail - this allows the patient to see the nail plate as the practitioner does, and the improvement of such over time by the application of Onyfix for example.
We are looking forward to this being a great addition in terms of the patient experience, whilst in the clinic and it helping our patients in a new and innovative way to understand what is happening with their feet. See photographs of the progress so far.

Appointments can be made by phone, email and you are more than welcome to pop by to make an appointment or if you have an enquiry, just check our opening hours for each clinic first. If you would like to be seen regularly we would encourage you to make your onward appointment prior to leaving the clinic in order to try to arrange the most convenient day and time for yourself.
Please be aware that we do require a deposit to be paid at the time of making your initial appointment with us.
Due to the nature of our work you will be asked to provide basic details about yourself in order for us to create your personal records, you will also be asked your medical history and for a copy of any current medication that you are taking and any allergies that you may have. This is so that we are able to provide you with the safest and best treatment possible.
Please note that signed consent is required before any treatment can be undertaken. Therefore anyone under the age of 18 must attend with a parent or legal guardian, and anyone who may be unable to provide consent for themselves must be in attendance with a third party who has legal responsibility for the patients care.
Please read the section Covid-19 on our home page so that you are aware of what is required when attending an appointment with us and what we are doing to help keep everybody safe.
We are able to provide receipts for treatment and fill in claim forms for those who qualify for Podiatry services under Private Healthcare Policies, please note that it is the patients responsibility to check what services they are eligible to claim for according to their own individual policies.
Gift vouchers are available for purchase for special occasions for friends and family.
We require at least 24 hours notice prior to appointment time for cancellation with no charge. This is so that we are able to offer the appointment to someone with an emergency or who is on our waiting list. Unfortunately due to having a large amount of people not attending appointments without any prior notice we do now charge if we have not had prior notice as above. This charge increases each time an appointment is missed, after three charges we will unfortunately have to remove you from our patient list.
If you are booking an appointment prior to a hospital admission or procedure; please book your foot appointment at least seven days in advance of this, and let us know at the time of booking that this is the case. If seven days is not possible please phone and discuss your individual needs with us.
