over the damage to disguise it, often making it worse in the process.

These types of nails may be fungal, misshapen or permanently damaged. Perhaps you have damaged your nails playing sport and still want to play but wearing shoes is uncomfortable

without a nail to protect your toe. It may be that you have had nail surgery some years ago and are left with little bits of nail where the nail plate should be.

Now we can rebuild you! We are able to create a bespoke, cosmetically reconstructed nail, which will look so natural, only you will know it’s not real. A choice of natural shades is

available to make your new nail look as natural as possible.

LCN Wilde-Pedique is a unique light-cured gel which contains Piroctone Olamine and provides an instant cosmetic solution. If you’re undergoing an anti-fungal treatment, which

may take several months, you will have to have the nail removed and replaced several times over the course of the treatment, but you will always look your best. Nails that are

permanently damaged can wear LCN Wilde-Pedique all year round with regular maintenance.

Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain may be experienced in soft tissue structures such as muscles, joints, ligaments, or nerves. 

People who experience MSK pain may be anybody from elite athletes, to weekend warriors, and even those who do not participate in any sport or exercise; however, they all have one thing in common - pain that is affecting their daily activities. 

If this is you, then you may benefit from a MSK assessment by our Specialist Podiatrists. An assessment will involve detailed problem solving in order to determine which specific structures are painful, and how you are using these structures in your daily activities. 

This may include the following: 

- analysis of joint movement; 

- muscle strength/power; 

- stress testing of muscles/ligaments/joints/nerves; and, 

- stance and gait (walking/running) analysis. 

This information will be used by the Specialist Podiatrist so that a detailed treatment plan can be created which suits your daily life and the challenges you are facing due to your MSK pain. 

A treatment plan may involve one or more of the following: 

- Orthotic (insole therapy); 

- footwear advice; 

- exercise therapy; 

- temporary modifications to your activities; 

- injection therapy; 

- further referral for assessments or treatment by other MSK professionals, e.g. Physiotherapists.
