I have been in practice since 1986 and my surgery is situated in Bruntsfield Place, Edinburgh close to Morningside, Polwarth, Marchmont and Tollcross.

I am registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council). I also offer Saturday Morning appointments.

The treatments I offer are:

Nail Surgery with partial or full nail removal carried out under local anaesthetic.

Ingrowing toenail treatment.

Verruca treatment (Acid, Cryosurgery or Dry Needling).

Corn removal.

Biomechanical assessment.

Orthotic insoles ranging from off the shelf to cast bespoke insoles.

The human foot is made up of 26 main bones but was not really designed to walk on the hard flat surfaces that are part of our everyday life.

These conditions can make the foot roll and functionally shorten the leg causing the knee and hip to rotate.

This can lead to all types of conditions not always associated with the feet.

Knee pain, hip pain and lower back pain can all be symptoms of an incorrect alignment of the bones of the feet.

There are however a number of foot complaints that can be relieved through the wearing of orthotics.

Heel pain (Plantar fasciitis) can be commonly caused by pronation or rolling inwards on the foot.

Flat feet (Pes planus) can exhibit symptoms ranging from tired aching feet to leg exhaustion, corns and calluses.

High arches (Pes cavus) can cause calluses and corns on the balls of the feet and the tips of the toes.

After a complete examination and evaluation casts can be taken of your feet and like prescription glasses, orthotic insoles will be made specifically for your feet.

These can be made in different styles dependant on whether you feel that you need them more for everyday wear, or for sports.
