Attention will also be paid to any specific problems, such as verrucae, and general advice is always available.
 

Nail surgery, performed under local anaesthetic, takes about 45 minutes including the preliminary

If orthotic insoles are considered appropriate a prescription is sent to the orthotics laboratory where a bespoke pair of orthotics will be produced.
