Podiatry & Chiropody

Advanced nail & verruca treatments

When routine foot care isn't enough, our advanced podiatry treatments provide effective, evidence-based solutions for persistent nail conditions and stubborn verrucae. Whether you're struggling with recurring ingrown toenails, damaged or misshapen nails, or painful verrucae that haven't responded to conventional treatments, we offer a range of specialist procedures tailored to your needs.

Our experienced podiatrists will carry out a thorough assessment and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your condition, lifestyle, and long-term goals. We take the time to explain your options, ensuring you feel informed and confident before any procedure is performed.

Our advanced treatments include:
  • Nail Surgery – A minor surgical procedure to permanently treat painful or recurring ingrown toenails. Performed under local anaesthetic, nail surgery offers a safe and highly successful long-term solution. NHS waiting lists are long, but we can fit you in within a week and in most cases, you can retain the majority of your nail and only remove the thin in growing edge.
  • Podofix® Nail Bracing (Ingrown Nail Correction) A gentle, non-surgical alternative to nail surgery for painful, curved, or ingrown toenails. Like dental braces, a small, flexible pad is bonded to the surface of the nail and tensioned using an integrated wire loop. This lifts the edges of the nail out of the painful nail fold, providing almost immediate relief from pressure. The brace stays comfortably in place for several weeks, gradually retraining your nail to grow flatter
  • Nail fenestration is a treatment for fungal nail infections that involves drilling tiny holes into the nail plate to allow antifungal medication to penetrate to the nail bed, where the infection resides. This method is performed by our podiatrist Donna and is considered effective for mild to moderate infections.
  • Verruca Needling (Falknor’s Method) An advanced, minor clinical procedure for stubborn or long-standing verrucae. Performed painlessly under a local anaesthetic, this technique involves repeatedly puncturing the verruca with a sterile needle. This pushes the virus into the deeper skin layers, triggering your body’s natural immune response to recognize and destroy the infection from within. Unlike acids or freezing, it often requires just a single session and can clear multiple verrucae simultaneously.


All procedures are carried out in a clinical environment using modern techniques and high standards of infection control. Our focus is on providing safe, comfortable treatment with the aim of reducing pain, restoring function, and helping you return to everyday activities as quickly as possible. If you're unsure which treatment is right for you, book an assessment with one of our podiatrists. We'll discuss your symptoms, answer your questions, and create a personalised treatment plan to help you achieve healthier, pain-free feet.

"Took an elderly relative for a Podiatry appointment and he came away extremely pleased with the treatment he received. His therapist went above and beyond with a very unusual and troublesome nail, and he was very satisfied with his 1st ever encounter with a podiatrist. Thank you for your care and understanding."

"After twelve months of pain and four different GP’s clueless efforts, the chiropodist diagnosed the problem immediately and after treatment the sore toe is on the mend."
