NAIL SURGERY (TOTAL / PARTIAL NAIL AVULSIUON)
Starting from £320
A minor surgical procedure carried out under Local Anaesthetic to remove either a portion of the nail or the entire nail plate. This is subject to an Initial Appointment / Consultation in the first instance.
The benefits of toenail surgery include:
-
Permanent pain relief and/or preventing reoccurring infections
-
Improved look of your toe
-
Safe Local anaesthetic is used as less risk of adverse affects
-
Very little time away from work is needed
-
No need to visit GP or a hospital for a referral
Nail surgery may be necessary if you have an in-growing toenail which could be problematic, painful or infected. In-growing toenails commonly occur at the big toenail, however can also occur at any one of the lesser toenails. Once the nail has been removed a chemical called phenol is used to stop the nail re-growing, this is so that the problem is highly unlikely to return.

MUSCULOSKELETAL / BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT
Starting from £65
A Musculoskeletal / biomechanical assessment is necessary to diagnose a range of problems including:
-
Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)
-
Tendon Pain (Tendinopathy/Tendonitis)
-
Painful Bunions
-
Morton's Neuromas
-
Metatarsalgia (forefoot pain)
-
General foot pain (muscular and/or joint pain).
During the assessment the quality and range of movement of joints, muscle strength and flexibility, compensatory mechanisms are all assessed as well as the way that you stand, paying particular attention to the way the foot contacts the ground at each stage of the gait cycle.
A biomechanical assessment could also be helpful for anyone experiencing lower back, knee, hip, calf, ankle, or foot pain whereby the cause has not yet been established. The biomechanical assessment is the first step in understanding what the cause of the problem is, what can be done, and what further investigations or referrals to other health professionals are needed.
