Podiatry & chiropody treatment
Our Podiatrist can provide the following treatments:

- Neurological and vascular assessment (lower limb)
- Musculoskeletal lower limb assessment
- Prescribe orthotics/insoles

- Advice concerning all lower limb conditions
Many medical conditions have signs and symptoms which can be associated with the foot such as diabetes, neurological conditions, inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis), skin conditions and poor circulation.
Changes in foot function with use of orthotic devices and/or exercise therapy can change the way the lower limb functions and reduce damaging forces that ultimately give rise to pain and injury.
