Services
Orthotics
Custom-made biomechanical devices to correct foot alignment and treat conditions like plantar fasciitis and flat feet. Our 3D-scanned orthotics provide precise support for casual and dress shoes, addressing overpronation and supination issues while alleviating associated knee, shin, and back pain through proper foot realignment.
Sports Podiatry
Specialised treatment for sports-related injuries including shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, and runners knee. We conduct biomechanical assessments and gait analysis to identify mechanical imbalances, offering shockwave therapy and orthotic solutions to enhance performance while preventing recurring injuries through tailored rehabilitation programs.
Children's Foot Care
Expert management of developmental foot conditions in children, including flat feet and in-toeing. We provide gait analysis and footwear guidance to address common concerns like growing pains and abnormal walking patterns, ensuring proper foot development through non-invasive interventions and parental education.
Shockwave Therapy
Advanced radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy for chronic foot conditions like plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. This non-invasive treatment stimulates healing through acoustic waves, improving blood circulation and dissolving calcium deposits while providing sustained pain relief for soft tissue injuries and bone-related foot pathologies.
Nail Surgery
Minimally invasive partial nail avulsion procedures for recurrent ingrown toenails. Performed under local anaesthesia, this permanent solution removes problematic nail sections while preserving healthy tissue, with comprehensive post-operative care to ensure proper healing and prevent future complications through biomechanical footwear advice.

Will has helped both my kids with in grown toe nails and he is one of the loveliest, most gentle medical professionals I have come across. He is also exceptionally good at his job. I couldn't recommend him more highly

Chris is awesome. I had SWIFT therapy on both feet with a local anaesthetic and he always made me feel very comfortable and have seen great progress in our time together. Highly recommend.

A truly life-changing experience. Following just one appointment with Chris Wheeler he took some very simple and inexpensive steps to begin to correct a problem with my feet which has significantly impeded my mobility for many many years. Chris is a true professional - expert and very personable to boot (pardon the pun). As a result I jokingly advised Chris that I would be changing my name from Mr Thompson to Mr Walker. I cannot recommend him and his clinic more highly. I am arranging for my whole family to have their feet checked out and telling all of my friends and associates likewise. And saying

My wart was scattered, stubborn and I almost gave up treatment after going through numerous useless session with other podiatrist. I tried Freezing, laser and acidic treatment, all without result. Finally found Chris thru website and just one treatment with Swift treatment could see drastic improvement. More than 70% cured and just did the second treatment. It does cost slightly more than other treatment but its worth every penny as the others wasnt effective. Thanks Chris for your professionalism and help. Highly recommended :)
