Foot care amongst diabetics is incredibly important. Find out how we can help you to take care of your feet.
Ingrown Toenails can cause great discomfort. If you suffer from ingrowning toenails, often the podiatrist will be able to cut your nails so they are more comfortable for you.
Nail Surgery is the full or partial removal of an ingrown toenail. Find out about the surgery and our aftercare.
Orthotics are orthopedic devices that are used to treat a variety of biomechanical foot disorders. Our Podiatrists can manufacture custom made orthotics on-site and in most cases you can leave with the device on the day of your appointment.
Routine Chiropody is the term for the general maintenance of your foot health. Common treatments in a routine session would be nail cutting, nail reduction, ingrowing toenail management, corn enucleation, and callus debridement.
Surgical intervention is always the last resort at Davenport House Clinic. We will exhaust all treatment options before referring any of our patients for surgery.
There are many different verrucae treatments available at Davenport House Clinic depending on your lifestyle.
Physiotherapy Treatment Options
- Acupuncture
- R.I.C.E (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation)
- Taping
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine which involves the insertion of very fine needles at key points (known as acupuncture points) into the body.
R.I.C.E. stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Using these 4 immediate first aid measures can relieve pain, limit swelling and protect the injured tissues, all of which help speed healing.
Taping is a form of strapping. It is a procedure that uses tape, attached to the skin, to physically keep in place muscles or bones at a certain position. This reduces pain and aids recovery.
