Services & Fees
Effective 6th of June 2022
NEW PATIENT APPOINTMENT up to 50 min ~ £80
The podiatrist will look through your form and obtain a full medical history of you to help identify possible areas of concern that could lead to foot and leg problems. The podiatrist will then give you an expert examination of your foot and lower leg to check your blood flow, feeling, sensation, strength and record your Electrocardiogram (ECG). These tests will identify any area of concern, including deformities such as bunion or hammertoes, skin and nail changes. After the examination, the podiatrist will provide treatment and/or offer a treatment plan which may include a change in footwear, insoles, physical exercises or general foot care advice. In some cases, referrals to other specialists may be necessary. We can provide GP letter reports (additional charges apply).

ROUTINE PODIATRY APPOINTMENT up to 50 min ~ £58
BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT up to 50 min ~ £95
Do You Have Foot, Joint or Muscle Pain? A biomechanical assessment involves an examination of the lower limbs, looking at their structure, alignment, strengths and weaknesses and how this relates to your walking pattern. The assessment looks for any irregularity which may contribute to pain in your feet, limbs and back, or for abnormalities which may contribute to callus or corn formation. Please bring to the appointment footwear together with any insoles that you are currently using to be reviewed. We would request that patients wear non-restrictive clothing like leggings/shorts (no belts, avoid baggy t-shirts).
SWIFT® VERRUCA TREATMENT ~ £125 per treatment
WHAT IS SWIFT®? Swift is a new technology, developed in the UK, which has been licensed for the general treatment of skin lesions in Podiatry and Dermatology. Swift uses microwave energy which is delivered through a special probe applied to the skin to treat the affected tissue. Treatments are carried out every 4 weeks and for approximately 80% of patients a total of 3-4 treatments will be required. Some verrucae resolve after one treatment and others require three or more treatments. After the third treatment there is a break of 12 weeks, after which a follow-up appointment is scheduled to evaluate progress, if verruca is still present, further treatment sessions may be advised. Some patients will find the level of discomfort acceptable, whereas others will have a lower pain threshold and may not be able to tolerate the treatment, in that case, we would either suggest administering local anaesthesia (extra charge will apply) or reduce the power whilst increasing amount of applications. For further details please book a consultation with a podiatrist. For more information please click MORE INFORMATION ON SWIFT VERRUCA TREATMENT HERE
ONYFIX® Ingrown And Involuted Nail Correction ~ £50 per large toe/£15 per small toe

MLS® LASER THERAPY 15 min 1 area/30 min 2 areas ~ £50 one area/£75 two areas. Can only be booked in blocks of 4,6,8 & 10 therapy sessions.
MLS Laser Therapy helps to treat musculoskeletal conditions, inflammation and oedema. Examples of conditions treated with MLS in the lower limb are Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, neuroma, arthritis, sports injuries, tendon and ligament injuries, joint pain, muscle sprains & strains, and post-surgical swelling. MLS laser therapy has a cumulative effect which means that with every session it progressively reduces the level of pain. It is recommended to book 2 laser therapy sessions a week. The total number of sessions required would depend on the nature of the complaint, for example, acute injuries would require fewer sessions than chronic conditions. The smallest package consists of 4 sessions and costs £200 for one area and £300 for two areas. You would be advised whether you could book this therapy following an assessment of your condition, these assessments are carried out by a Podiatrist. Remember that laser is cumulative and you’re most likely to see results as you go through your course of treatment. It’s also really important that you stick to any other elements of your treatment plan such as exercises, taping or activity modification etc to allow for the best results possible.

REFLEXOLOGY up to 45 min ~ £58
It is generally recommended that a course of 4-6 weekly treatments is considered, however, the frequency of treatments is up to you and may vary depending on your state of health and long term objectives. Reflexology is a complementary therapy widely accepted in the UK and recognised by the NHS, many GP’s and hospices. It is totally safe for people of all ages, from babies to the elderly, for pregnant women and those undergoing chemotherapy. Whilst reflexology works very well alongside conventional medicine, it should never be used in place of seeking professional medical advice.

Are you having problems with the calcaneal spur, plantar fasciitis, shin splints or metatarsalgia and can’t seem to find a solution? Have you thought about insoles to get you back on your feet? Insoles can reduce pain by relieving pressure from painful places. Well-designed insoles take your posture and gait into account, and correct these, so they don’t only help with the symptoms, but tackle the causes of the problems as well.
