Newton Podiatry Ltd

Newton Podiatry Ltd provides podiatry care for foot and lower-leg problems in Newton-le-Willows. New patients are seen for an initial assessment of the lower legs and feet, with presenting conditions identified and diagnosed, treatment options discussed and a care plan created.

Its clinic services include Standard Appointment care for returning patients, with continuing assessment, debridement of callus, removal of corns and nail cutting as part of an agreed care plan. The practice also offers Biomechanics and Gait appointments, New Patient Biomechanics, ABPI/TBPI, Curacorn, Nail Surgery, Fungal Nail care and Verruca Needling.

Nail Surgery is offered after an initial assessment, where the affected toe or toes are numbed with local anaesthetic and part or all of the problem nail is removed. Verruca Needling is carried out under local anaesthetic for presenting lesions. Fungal nail care follows an initial appointment and a fungal nail test confirming dermatophyte presence.

Curacorn uses specialised gel injections to cushion inside the skin for pressure lesions such as corns and calluses, and can only be undertaken after an Initial Appointment health assessment. Biomechanics and Gait appointments look in more detail at areas of concern around foot function and pressure in problem areas.

Children and young people under 18 can be seen through Paediatric Initial Appointment and Paediatric Standard Appointment care. The initial paediatric appointment looks at the lower legs and feet as part of a health assessment, with presenting issues discussed and available options provided.

Home visit appointments are available for housebound patients of any age. Initial Home Visit appointments include assessment and treatment of presenting issues, with treatment options and a care plan, while Standard Home Appointment care is for returning patients as part of an existing care plan.
