Specialised podiatry for heel pain, ingrown toenails, diabetic foot health, sports injuries, and fungal nail conditions with same-week appointments and no referral required.
From everyday foot pain to complex podiatric conditions, our experienced team provides accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment to get you walking comfortably again.
Thickened, discoloured, or crumbling toenails are common signs of onychomycosis (fungal nail infection). Left untreated, it spreads to other nails and surrounding skin. We provide topical and systemic treatment plans for lasting clearance.
A bunion (hallux valgus) is a bony prominence at the base of the big toe causing pain, swelling, and difficulty finding comfortable footwear. Hammertoes involve abnormal bending of the toe joints. Custom inner soles, padding, and footwear advice relieve pressure and slow progression.
Heel pain is one of the most common podiatric complaints. Plantar fasciitis, inflammation of the band of tissue connecting the heel to the toes, causes a sharp stabbing pain, especially with the first steps in the morning. We diagnose the root cause and apply targeted treatment for rapid relief.
Ingrown toenails occur when the nail edge grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and infection. Conservative nail care resolves milder cases; persistent or recurring ingrown nails are treated with a quick in-room procedure under local anaesthetic with a very high success rate.
Diabetes affects circulation and nerve sensation in the feet, significantly increasing risk of ulcers, infections, and serious complications. Regular podiatric screening and preventative care are essential for all diabetic patients. Our clinic provides comprehensive diabetic foot management aligned with best-practice guidelines.
From Achilles tendinopathy and shin splints to stress fractures and ankle sprains, sports-related foot injuries require targeted podiatric assessment and rehabilitation. We work with athletes of all levels to relieve pain, address biomechanical causes, and develop a return to sport plan.
We combine clinical excellence with genuine patient care. Every visit is focused on understanding your unique condition and delivering lasting results.
Foot pain shouldn't be postponed. We prioritise rapid access to care, with most patients seen within the same week of booking.
You can contact us directly. No GP referral needed. Just call or book online and we'll handle the rest.

Comprehensive podiatric services covering routine foot health through to complex surgical procedures, all delivered at our Centurion clinic.
Regular professional foot care is essential for maintaining healthy feet at every age. Our routine podiatry service includes professional nail cutting and filing, corns and callus debridement, assessment for skin conditions, cracked heels, athlete's foot, and preventative foot health checks.
Ideal for: Elderly patients, diabetics, those unable to reach their feet, and anyone wanting professional foot maintenance.
Persistent foot and ankle pain significantly impacts quality of life. We provide evidence-based treatment for plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles tendinopathy, metatarsalgia (ball of foot pain), arch pain, and ankle discomfort. Treatment may include strapping, padding, orthotics, dry needling, and targeted exercises.
Ideal for: Anyone experiencing walking or standing pain that limits daily activity or sport.
Custom inner soles are prescribed medical devices fitted inside your shoes to correct foot alignment, redistribute pressure, and provide targeted support. Following a full biomechanical and gait assessment, we design inner soles specific to your foot structure and activity level for sport, work, or everyday use.
Ideal for: Flat feet, high arches, heel pain, knee pain, overpronation, and sports performance.
Sport places unique demands on the feet and lower limbs. Our sports podiatry service covers assessment and treatment of running injuries, Achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, stress fractures, ankle instability, and overuse syndromes. We provide a comprehensive return to sport rehabilitation programme and sport specific orthotics.
Ideal for: Runners, cyclists, football players, gym goers, and all active individuals.
Chronic or infected ingrown toenails are treated with a minor in room surgical procedure (partial nail avulsion) performed under local anaesthetic. The offending nail edge is removed and a chemical agent (phenol) is applied to prevent the nail from regrowing into the skin. The procedure takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes and most patients return to normal activity the following day.
Success rate: Over 95% of patients treated with this procedure do not experience recurrence.
Diabetic foot complications are one of the leading causes of preventable hospitalisation in South Africa. Our diabetic foot service includes comprehensive annual and ongoing foot screening, vascular (circulation) and neurological (sensation) assessments, nail and skin management, wound care, pressure offloading, and patient education on foot self examination and footwear.
Recommended: Diabetic patients should have a professional foot assessment at least once per year, or more frequently if risk factors are present.
Laser therapy is a modern, noninvasive treatment option used to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and treat a variety of foot and nail conditions. It is especially effective for fungal nail infections, chronic pain, and inflammation. Laser treatment is safe, quick, and requires no downtime.
Ideal for: Fungal nail infections, chronic pain, inflammation, and patients seeking advanced, nonsurgical treatment options.
Our practitioners bring decades of combined clinical experience across private practice, government health, and international settings.
