When contacting me, I will assess the best treatment plan based on your specific requirements.
I offer home services in South East Wales (including Rhondda Cynon Taff, Bridgend and the Vale of Glamorgan) and offer a wide range of foot health services. When you get in contact, I will listen to your issues and typically arrange an appointment in your own home at a time convenient for you.
Services I offer include:
Corn Removal
Corns are small lumps of hard skin on the feet. These typically arise as a result of pressure or rubbing on the feet and often occur in pressure spots.
After assessment, the corn centre is removed, and advice around appropiate foot wear given to prevent reoccurence.
Callus Reduction
Unlike corns, calluses are larger rough patches of skin and often occur in the pressure areas of the foot. Most commonly on the hells of the balls of the foot.
After assessing the callus, I can remove the hard areas of the skin and suggest changes to footwear that will prevent re-occurence.
Cracked Heels
Cracked heels generally occur in people with dry skin, with cracking occuring during increased pressure.
This can be treated after assessment, typically with creams and some parring down, and after multiple treatments you should notice a significant improvement.
Thickened Nail Reduction
Thickened toenails often arise as a result of a fungal nail infection, and if left untreated can get significantly worse and can also cause substantial discomfort.
There are multiple treatment options available baed on the cause of the nail infection. This can sometimes require treatment to reduce the thickening, as well as treatment using creams to address the cause of the problem.
Toenail Cut and File (Fingernail Cut for Additional Fee)
As well as specialist procedures, as part of my services I can also offer nail cut and file. This is speciifcally useful for people who have mobility issues, who are unable to cut nails temselves.
As a specialist, I can ensure your nails are cut to prevent any long-term issues.
Please note finegnerail cuts are also available for an additional fee.
When arriving at your house at the initial consultation, I will:
- Introduce myself (and I am always happy to show identification)
- Take a full medical history ensuring any treatment is suitable to your circumstances
- Assess your issues and discuss and agree to a treatment plan
- Undertake some initial treatment
- Arrange any follow-up appointments as agreed by yourself
In any follow-up appointments, I will:
- Evaluate the progress towards addressing the issues you have
- Undertake additional treatment as per the treatment plan
- Determine if any additional appointments are required, and schedule accordingly
Please note that if for any reason, I am unable to treat the issue you present with, please be assured I will refer you on to someone that can help, whether it be a GP referral or recommendation to a HCPC registered podiatrist.
