Frequently asked questions
How many appointments will be required for Verruca treatment?
Verruca treatment appointment is most of the time multiple appointment spread 2-3 weeks apart as we rely on your immune system to fight the virus.
How are Corns treated, and will it hurt?
Corn removal is a straightforward procedure using sterile instruments to gently remove the corn as well as the thickened skin around it. It is usually painless, although you may feel slight pressure. We also address the underlying cause to help prevent recurrence.
Can you help with diabetic foot care?
Yes—regular Podiatry care is essential for maintaining foot health if you have diabetes. We provide safe, preventative care and ongoing monitoring, as well as education on how diabetes effects the feet.
How are Verruca’s treated?
A Verruca is a virus, the treatment focuses on removing affected tissue/callus that from over the top of the verruca and the treatment is a way to stimulate your body’s natural immune response to detect and fight the virus. A range of treatment options are available, in our clinic we use freezing (Cryotherapy), chemicals in a form of a dressing or for verruca needling. The treatment plan will be adapted and discussed at the appointment.
Will Verruca treatment be painful?
Some treatments may cause mild discomfort, particularly those designed to stimulate a stronger response. However, we will always explain the process clearly and adjust treatment to keep you as comfortable as possible.
How many treatments will I need after a Biomechanical Assessment?
The assessment is based on your symptoms, what was or could have contributed to the cause of the symptoms, location of the pain in the area and how it effects the rest of your body. This varies depending on your condition and goals. Once the assessment has been done, we recommend a follow up appointment usually about 4 weeks after the assessment to review the effect of the suggested treatment plan, and to determine if adaptions alternatives or slight modifications is required. If symptoms have resolved and treatment has been effective the follow up appointment is not required.
