Services
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy treats chronic heel pain and musculoskeletal conditions using high-energy sound waves. This non-invasive treatment stimulates healing in affected areas like plantar fascia and Achilles tendons. Our clinic uses the EMS Swissdolorclast machine, the global benchmark for effectiveness.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve foot pain and improve mobility. Thin needles stimulate tissue repair in conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. This evidence-based technique complements other therapies for faster recovery.
Orthotic Therapy
Orthotic therapy provides tailored foot support through custom-made insoles. These devices correct biomechanical issues causing pain in feet, knees, hips, and back. Our podiatrists use advanced assessment techniques to create effective orthotic solutions.
Ingrown Nail Surgery
Ingrown nail surgery permanently removes problematic nail sections using phenolisation. This procedure treats recurrent ingrown toenails with minimal cosmetic impact. Post-operative care includes wound management and infection prevention strategies.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy uses focused light energy to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. We employ high-intensity lasers to treat fungal nail infections, warts, and soft tissue injuries. This non-thermal treatment promotes cellular regeneration without invasive procedures.
