I have a question about private podiatry services

What is podiatry?

Podiatry involves the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle conditions. There are several types of podiatry:

Biomechanics

Biomechanics looks at how muscles, bones and joints of the feet and lower limbs move and interact. A podiatrist might look at how your weight moves from heel to your forefoot and then how your forefoot pushes forwards to lift your heel off the ground.

Musculoskeletal podiatry (MSK)

MSK podiatry deals with conditions relating to muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones. Treatments might involve looking at your walking or running technique (also known as gait analysis) or foot orthoses.

Vascular podiatry

This is the study of circulation in the feet and lower limbs.

Wound care

Wound care deals with conditions of the foot and lower limb before they become serious and require surgery.

Podiatry for people with diabetes

There are several conditions associated with diabetes including poor circulation and peripheral neuropathy. These can affect your feet quite profoundly, so it’s important to catch any issues early on.

Podiatric dermatology

This involves treating skin and nail conditions, primarily on your feet. As well as callouses and corns, a Podiatrist can provide treatment for verrucae, fungal nail infections and even advise on how to improve the appearance of cracked heels.

What should I do if I have pain in my foot, ankle or lower leg?

If you’re experiencing foot or ankle pain, or pain in your lower leg, you can book an appointment with one of our podiatry clinicians by completing our online booking form or by calling our Private Patient Team on 01580 363158.

Will I need a scan on my foot, ankle or lower leg?

If your clinician recommends that you have an MRI scan, they’ll arrange this during your initial appointment. They’ll also arrange a follow-up appointment to discuss the results of the scan, as well as your options for treatment.

Will I need physiotherapy?

Depending on the results of your scan, your podiatry clinician may refer you to one of our expert Physiotherapists for treatment.

How much does private podiatry treatment cost?

View the Podiatry section of our pricing page for details of private podiatry costs.

If your podiatry clinician advises that you need additional treatments, tests or scans, these will incur an extra charge. If you’re unsure about these charges, please speak with a member of the team.
