Initial Consultation & Treatment
Your initial treatment allows your podiatrist to take all the relevant medical information and carry out compulsory checks on your feet, including testing your vascular and neurological status. Once this has been carried out, we will then discuss your foot problems and form a treatment plan. The Foot Company Full Podiatry treatment will then follow, making sure you leave the clinic feeling much more comfortable.

Biomechanical Assessment
Having pain in your legs, hips or feet? Our podiatrist will assess your body's lower limb biomechanics and advise a suitable treatment to cure your aches and pains. Treatments range from off-the-shelf insoles to hand-crafted casted orthoses alongside stretching and prescribed exercise if required.
Biomechanical Assessment with DigitsolePro Technology
Are you having pain in your legs, hips or feet? Our podiatrist conducts a full clinical assessment of your body's lower limb biomechanics. As part of the assessment, our clinical team will utilise the latest in-shoe analysis technology, DigitsolePro. Following a short walk and/or run while the smart insoles are positioned in your footwear, the technology will provide a number of key metrics to assist in identifying any underlying issues which may be the cause of existing pain or result in future injures if not addressed.
Swift Verrucae Treatment
Are you tired of failed verruca treatments? What makes Swift verruca treatment different?
Simple, Effective and Swift… Swift utilises safe microwave energy to produce heat rapidly. The rapid heating of the verruca shocks the body into triggering an immune response in the area of the heat generation. Most other treatments work by causing tissue destruction through freezing or chemical destruction, which can cause blistering, lasting pain, and risking scarring, by triggering the body's own immune response, rather than simply destroying the infected tissue.
Verruca Treatment - Verrutop
Stubborn painful verruca? Following an initial assessment, our clinical team will advise on a treatment plan utilising Verrutop. Verrutop is a new type of wart treatment. Unlike Cryotherapy or other chemical treatments, Verrutop does not act by freezing or burning the tissue. Instead, it denatures the viral protein and desiccates the wart tissue, which then falls off the skin, leaving intact skin underneath and the verruca or wart gone.

Fungal Nail
Our clinical team will assess the fungal infection and establish a treatment plan to irradicate the fungal infection and restore a strong, healthy nail. Treatment plans will vary depending on the severity of the infection.

Nail Reconstruction
Restore and protect nails through clinical nail reconstruction. Our clinical team will remove damaged or infected nail and then rebuild a false nail replicating the appearance of a healthy nail. The resins used also prevent fungal growth, providing a barrier for natural healthy nail growth underneath. The resin can also be used to reinforce healthy nails to avoid possible damage caused by sport or exercise.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy carries high energy to areas of muscle, joint and ligament pain to stimulate the healing and reparative process. It is clinically proven to be an effective treatment method for Heel spurs/Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, and if suitable will be structured into a treatment plan following a full biomechanical assessment.
Available in Altrincham and Holmfirth only
Verrucae Needling
Verrucae Needling was originally described by Falknor in 1969 and involves repeatedly puncturing the lesion with a hypodermic needle to push the virus into the blood stream and unmask the virus to the immune system . The World Health Organisation completed a study in 2013 and reported complete resolution of verrucae following needling therapy in 69% of patients with a further 7% reporting reduced lesion size. Within their study patients received either one or two episodes of treatment.
Available Holmfirth, Lindley & Bury
Steroid Injections
If all other treatments for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis and Mortens neuroma have failed, you may want to consider steroid injections. Cortisone is injected into the point of pain to reduce inflammation and pain level. The pain relief can last for multiple months and enable patients to implement rehab exercises which have been previously prohibited due to pain, resulting in lasting pain relief.
