VERRUCA TREATMENT OPTIONS

Effective Relief for Stubborn or Painful Verrucas

Verrucas are a common viral infection that appear as small, hard lumps on the soles of the feet. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can become painful when they develop under pressure points. At Springhead Chiropody & Podiatry, we offer a range of safe, effective treatment options tailored to the severity and location of your verruca.

At Springhead Chiropody & Podiatry, we offer the verruca needling procedure. This has been found to be the gold standard procedure for stubborn verrucas. The needling procedure is undertaken using local anaesthetic making this pain-free procedure and exceptionally effective.

Springhead Chiropody always put the customers first, I’ve received brillant service from Tessa and Fiona. They have gone the extra mile for me with my ongoing situation with Plantar Fasciitis and Chronic Pain. They booked me in the same week, after my consultation. I am currently having the laser treatment. I have only had three, I already feel a massive difference.

All the team are friendly, the place is very clean and welcoming, when you visit. I would recommend Springhead Chiropody. I appreciate Tessa’s and Fiona’s support in getting me better, thank you. ☺️

What a wonderful and cheerful place this is, I first started going here just after the pandemic, I was having trouble with gout and fungus on my big toes, fiona has been looking after me and I go every 8 weeks, the staff are very friendly and always asking about your health.
During my last treatment at the beginning of March I was telling fiona about the knee pain I was having and how difficult it is to see a doctor, she told me about the laser treatment they do there for pain relief, she asked if I would like to try it, so I signed up for a 6 dose of treatment, you do not have to have a 6course but it was recommended.
Next day I went for the first half hour treatment, the next day I felt a big difference in the pain, upto now I have had 4 half hour sessions, and the difference to my knee has been unbelievable.
I am a 79yr old male and highly recommend this place, if you are suffering with any joint pain it is worth giving it a try. Thank you fiona and tessa.
