Wishaw Footcare Clinic

Wishaw Footcare Clinic provides podiatry appointments in Wishaw, with care delivered by HCPC registered podiatrists. New patients are seen for an initial consultation, which includes a medical history, any required assessments, an assessment of foot health and risk, initial treatment where appropriate, and a treatment plan if needed. New patients must have an initial consultation before routine treatment.

Routine podiatry covers core foot care and conservative management. The clinic lists treatment and advice for onychauxis, involution, onychocryptosis, onychomycosis and tinea pedis, callus, corns, and anhidrosis. Annual diabetic risk assessments are included within routine treatment unless needed sooner.

The clinic also offers biomechanics injuries and assessment for musculoskeletal and biomechanics related complaints. This involves assessment of the lower limb to help determine differential diagnoses, followed by short and long term treatment planning and advice. The plan may include rehabilitation exercises and orthotic management.

Nail surgery is available after an initial consultation to discuss conservative and surgical options for the presenting complaint. Wishaw Footcare Clinic also runs a verruca clinic offering SWIFT microwave therapy for stubborn verrucae, described by the clinic as a non-invasive treatment with no injections and no aftercare.

The podiatrists' stated clinical interests and work include private podiatry practice, NHS social care experience before podiatry qualification, biomechanics specialised podiatry, and practice based learning provision for Glasgow Caledonian University podiatry. The clinic was established in 2006.

The clinic is based in Wishaw's shopping district, with drop-off points and parking nearby, and access by public transport. It states a commitment to equality, diversity and disability inclusion in foot care.
