Nail Reconstruction
When the appearance of damaged or fungal nails are a problem than needs to be quickly solved, we offer a nail reconstruction service that can transform nails with remarkable realism in under an hour.
Once the existing nail has been prepared, thin layers are slowly built up, with each layer being ‘set’ before the next layer applied, to ensure a solid, long-lasting result, producing a reconstruction difficult to distinguish from a normal nail.
Medical Pedicure
Our award-winning, experienced HCPC registered professionals provide medical pedicures that reach parts not accessible with beauty pedicures.
Our podiatrists use medical instruments, sterilised to the highest standards, and advanced equipment, to painlessly restore feet back to their former glory and leave looking great and feeling fantastic.
Biomechanics & Gait
Pain or recurring injury when walking or running affects all aspects of life and health. The feet change over time, like the engine of a car, and imbalance, malalignment and pressure can cause joint pains, bunions and hard skin.
Our specialist podiatrist, Daud, assesses the mechanics of the foot and recommends treatments for a wide range of foot and leg problems related to walking, running, sport and performance.
Verruca Treatment
A former NHS Verruca Services manager leads our services, and we are one of the most experienced clinics in the country in treating this painful and persistent problem.
At your initial assessment, we will make a diagnosis and discuss various options available for your problem. Treatment can be started at the same appointment. We have a range of highly effective treatments available to suit all the family.
Low Level Laser Therapy
We have 25 years of experience with low lever laser therapy (also known as ‘cold lasers’, Photobiomodulation and PBM Therapy) that offers painless treatment without side effects for a wide range of problems and disease.
With over 800 research articles spanning the last four decades, this treatment could not be more highly ‘evidence-based’ and works by an animal equivalent of photosynthesis, where light is converted into chemical energy, which speeds up the body’s ability to heal, repair, regenerate and rejuvenate.
Shockwave Treatment
At Leigham Practice, we can offer long-term solutions for many resistant foot problems, such as Achilles Tendinitis and Plantar Fasciitis.
Shockwave therapy is evidence-based and recommended by NICE and is one treatment we use to help long-standing, chronic problems become a thing of the past and get you back to full health in the most effective and efficient way possible.
Leigham at Home
If you are housebound, recovering from injury, recovering from surgery, not feeling well, or even if you have child care commitments and cannot find the time to come to our clinic, we can arrange a home visit for your foot care.
We aim to provide a clinic-equivalent service and bring all the equipment with us when we attend. We are prepared to travel far to see patients who cannot visit us.
Care for Other Nail Problems
The Podiatry Team at Leigham Practice can offer long-term solutions for many nail problems.
We provide medical pedicures for irregular or thickened nails, we can permanently correct ingrown and other nail problems, and we can offer highly effective treatments for fungal nail conditions to improve appearance and fix problems at their root cause.

What people say about us
Why have Chiropody / Podiatry at Leigham Practice?
If you’re asking why come to Leigham Practice, you are asking the right question – ‘why?’. If you have a problem, many professionals are concerned about finding out what your symptoms relate to, but by focusing on what the problem is you end up just treating the symptoms. At Leigham Practice, we don’t just want to find out what your problems are, we want to understand why they are. If we can do something about why you have a problem, you find the cure. So if you’re asking why come to Leigham Practice it’s because we’re asking ‘why’ every day, always aiming to cure, not just to treat.
What’s the difference between Chiropody and Podiatry?
They are the same. Chiropody was a very British term for healthcare professionals who treat foot problems. The rest of the world knows the profession as Podiatry. During the 90’s, the profession began to use the international term and today Chiropody and Podiatry mean exactly the same thing.
What do Podiatrists treat?
Very simply – problems affecting the feet, or problems with walking and running. We could be assessing a child whose parents have noticed them walking a bit oddly, or seeing problems affecting adults when they walk or run. We could be treating nails problems, or infections, or painful hard skin. We could be treating foot pain or helping people recover from injury or surgery. We could be managing wounds or ulcers, or helping people with complex foot problems due to disease, such as Rheumatoid Disease, or Diabetes. If you’ve a foot problem, just ask and we’ll tell you what we can do to help.
