Podiatrists aim to
provide a comprehensive specialist foot health service for conditions
that may effect the individual's lower limbs and feet.
We aim to prevent or treat foot problems, to reduce pain, maintain
your mobility and provide advice to enable you to make decisions
on your own foot health, and increase your quality of life.
We also cover areas of sports injuries in the lower limb and
give advice on the correct insoles, orthotics. Abnormal gait
in children and corrective devices to encourage better gait
may be the problem we can solve.
