MUSCULOSKELETAL - NEW PATIENT  

An extended appointment for musculoskeletal problems such as plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies and arthritis. For feet that hurt when your active, painful joints or concerns about the way you walk. You will be asked lots of questions about your symptoms, previous treatment, medical history and lifestyle. 

 

The aim of this appointment is to diagnose your problem and create a treatment plan. Ultrasound scanning is often used to aid in your diagnosis. We do not have a "one size fits all" assessment and treatment approach.

 

Treatment might include exercises and stretches prescribed to you via a website link or mobile phone app, orthoses, shoe insoles or footwear changes. This appointment type is also appropriate for children.

 

MUSCULOSKELETAL - FOLLOW UP

We will continue your assessment, discuss exercises and stretches, issue or review orthoses and talk about sport and footwear.

 

GENERAL PODIATRY - NEW PATIENT 

Is your problem only skin deep? Verrucae, ingrown toenails and corns are classed as "general podiatry". A diabetic assessment is also included here where needed. Treatment is usually started at this appointment, but nail surgery and verruccae needling will always be arranged for a future date. HANNAH IS NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS FOR ROUTINE/GENERAL PODIATRY unless they are a) a child, b) a family member of an existing patient, or c) requiring an assessment for nail surgery or verruca needling.

 

GENERAL PODIATRY - FOLLOW UP

These appointments are booked by existing patients to continue their treatment. This might be to treat your verruca, to scrape the hard skin off your feet before your summer holiday, to sort out that corn or tricky toenail, your regular maintenance appointment or for a diabetic check up. All Penn Farm Podiatry patients are considered existing patients.

 

IN CLINIC - SHORT CONSULTATION 

These brief appointments are booked by the podiatrist for some types of reviews. 

 

NAIL SURGERY AND VERUCCA NEEDLING  

These might be booked after a video, in clinic consultation or by referral from another podiatrist.  You will be unable to drive or walk home after your appointment.  The fee includes follow up appointments and dressings.

 

ONLINE VIDEO APPOINTMENTS 

While obviously popular during covid, these are still used by patients who live further away. You would be emailed a link to join a video call. Musculoskeletal apointments are often supplemented by our online exercise prescription system. Emailing photos prior to the appointment, particularly for ingrown toenails, is encouraged 

You'd be surprised by how much can be achieved on a video appointment, from recommending creams and posting out orthoses to arranging the supply of antibiotics. 

 

ORTHOSES AND INSOLES

Orthoses are anything that alter forces to change foot function.  This can include supportive footwear, but most commonly refers to plastic or rubber devices that are prescribed to a specific prescription and follow the contours of your feet.  Alternatively, a simple insole is often used to offload a painful area - such as a recurrent corn or painful joint. While often a long term treatment, some patients will need them just to treat an episode of foot pain. They work best in combination with rehabilitation exercises, footwear changes and activity modification.

 

We prefer payment by card or BACS.

We also sell a range of foot cream, silicon appliances and other helpful items in the clinic.

CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Lots of children come to see podiatrists.  While many of their problems are similar to the adult foot, they do also have their own range of unique issues.  That said, not all young feet require treatment and after careful assessment we will discuss options and advise what is appropriate.

 

While many children are anxious coming into a clinic, we are experienced in making our younger patients feel happy and calm. We involve young patients in decisions about their treatment options in an age appropriate way.

 

STEROID  AND  OSTENIL  INJECTIONS

Hannah is qualified to administer joint and corticosteroid injections. Steroid injections can be very helpful when conservative treatment, such as orthoses, haven’t worked.  Most commonly injections will be for a morton’s neuroma, plantar fasciitis or hallux limitus.  Referrals from other health professionals are very welcome.

 

Current guidance recommends steroid injections are avoided for two weeks after a COVID-19 vaccination.
