Podiatry & Chiropody Services
At Newbold Verdon Physiotherapy Clinic, our podiatry service focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. Podiatrists are highly trained healthcare professionals dedicated to improving mobility, independence, and quality of life. Our treatments aim to provide immediate relief where possible, alongside long-term foot health management.
Treatments Offered
Our podiatrist, Rachel Verity, with over 30 years of experience, provides a wide range of interventions, including:
-
Essential Foot Care – nail-cutting treatments for those unable to reach their own feet
-
Callus & Corn Removal, including chemical treatments
-
Nail Surgery under local anaesthetic for ingrown toenails
-
Vascular and Neurological Assessment and wound management, particularly for patients with Diabetes or Rheumatoid Arthritis
-
Palliative Foot Care for severe pain and mobility difficulties
-
Gait Analysis and prescription of insoles or orthotic devices
Home Visits
For patients with mobility issues or who are housebound, Rachel can provide domiciliary visits within Leicester/Leicestershire. Certain treatments, such as nail surgery, are best performed in-clinic, but many essential interventions can be safely delivered at home.
Choosing a Qualified Podiatrist
All podiatrists must register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Registered podiatrists are qualified to diagnose, treat, and prevent foot and lower limb conditions. Rachel Verity is also a member of the Royal College of Podiatrists, ensuring continued professional development and specialist training.
