Services
Custom Made Orthotics
Our custom orthotics realign feet and ankles using advanced CAD/CAM technology. Created onsite, these tailored shoe inserts address conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and diabetic foot ulcers. The process involves gait analysis and biomechanical assessment to ensure optimal support for improved mobility and pain relief.
Fungal Laser Treatment
This non-invasive treatment uses Lunula Fungal Nail Laser to eliminate toenail fungus. Safe and effective, it targets infections without side effects. Sessions take minutes with visible improvement after several treatments. Ideal for patients seeking alternatives to oral medications with potential liver toxicity risks.
Ingrown Toenail Surgery
We offer permanent solutions for chronic ingrown toenails through partial nail avulsion. The procedure removes affected nail sections while preserving healthy portions. Combines local anaesthesia with post-operative care guidance to prevent recurrence and ensure proper healing.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialised care for diabetes-related foot complications including ulcers, neuropathy, and circulation issues. Services include regular assessments, wound management, and custom footwear prescriptions. Focuses on preventing severe complications like amputation through early intervention and patient education.
Shockwave Therapy
This advanced treatment uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. Non-surgical and drug-free, it accelerates tissue repair while reducing inflammation and pain. Typically requires multiple sessions for optimal results.

Report
I had an appointment with one of the podiatrists at Foot Health Clinic today concerning an issue with my feet and possibly my hiking boots. Granville examined my feet and boots and asked a lot of questions and then ascertained that I would be better off having a consult with Oliver as he had hiked the trail I'm going on and might have more specific advice (as he was familiar with the conditions). He ensured that I could get an appointment with Oliver and then didn't charge me for the appointment I had with him.. What a professional and a gentleman! Thank you Granville!!

Felt like the service was very individulised and not just a "one size fits all" remedy. Excellent at explaining why/where/what was causing the pain, and great follow-up post orthodic. Have already recommended your services to others. Very impressed.

Report
Have only had one session so far but the assessment carried out by Granville was very very thorough - the diagnosis was spot on with excellent explanation of everything and a plan formulated that makes sense. Cant ask for more. I visited another podiatrist a few weeks before my visit to the Foot Health Clinic. I have to say that Granvilles professional approach is so superior to the other place I went to that they should die of shame. I highly recommend the Foot Health Clinic.
