Services we offer

Our main role is to provide surgery using local anaesthetic. This means you stay awake, but the area being treated is numbed. 

We also offer other treatments, including: 

• Cortisone injections 
  These help to reduce pain and swelling. 
• Immobilisation treatments 
  This may include a cast or splint to keep your foot still while it heals. 
• Physical therapy 
  Exercises to help improve movement and strength. 
• Foot health advice 
  Information on how to care for your feet and reduce pain.

We work closely with the Musculoskeletal Podiatry Team. 

They can provide custom made shoe inserts, also called foot orthoses.

These are designed to support your feet and improve comfort when walking.
