At Spennymoor Foot Clinic, we provide professional general nail care to keep your feet healthy, comfortable, and pain-free.

If you’re unable to manage your own nails due to reduced mobility, medical conditions, poor eyesight, or simply difficulty reaching your feet, we’re here to help in a safe and supportive environment.

Our General Nail Care Services Include:

Nail cutting and shaping

Management of thickened or fungal nails

Treatment and advice for ingrown toenails

Reduction of hard skin around the nail area

Ongoing routine foot maintenance

Thickened, damaged, or ingrown nails can become uncomfortable and sometimes painful if left untreated. Our experienced podiatrists use specialist equipment to safely reduce and manage problem nails, helping to prevent infection and relieve discomfort.

We provide care in a friendly, non-judgemental setting, so you can feel confident your feet are in safe hands.

Callus and corns are common foot concerns that can cause discomfort and, in some cases, significant pain when walking or standing.

At Spennymoor Foot Clinic, we provide safe and effective treatment to remove hard skin (callus) and painful corns, helping to restore comfort and improve foot health.

• Professional removal of hard skin and corns
   
• Reduction of thickened pressure areas
   
• Advice on preventing recurrence
   
• Footwear and pressure-relief guidance where needed
   

Callus often develops due to pressure or friction, while corns form in more concentrated areas and can become tender. Using specialist instruments, we carefully and painlessly reduce these areas, providing immediate relief.

 Ingrown toenails can be painful, inflamed, and sometimes lead to infection if left untreated. At Spennymoor Foot Clinic, we offer both conservative management and minor surgical options to effectively treat and prevent recurring problems.

In many cases, ingrown nails can be successfully managed without surgery. Treatment may include:

• Careful removal of the offending nail edge
   
• Reducing pressure and inflammation
   
• Dressing and infection management
   
• Advice on nail cutting and footwear
   
• Ongoing monitoring to prevent recurrence
   

This approach often provides immediate relief and is ideal for mild to moderate cases.

For persistent or recurring ingrown toenails, we offer minor nail surgery under local anaesthetic. This procedure involves removing part (or occasionally all) of the nail and may include a chemical treatment to prevent regrowth of the problematic section.

Nail surgery is a quick, safe, and highly effective solution with excellent long-term results.

Our team will always explain your options clearly and recommend the most appropriate treatment in a friendly, supportive, and non-judgemental environment.

Verruca's are small, often painful growths on the feet caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). At Spennymoor Foot Clinic, we provide effective treatment options to remove verruca's and relieve discomfort.

For many cases, conservative topical treatments are effective. These may include:

• Medicated solutions or creams to gradually remove the verruca
   
• Advice on protecting surrounding skin
   
• Guidance on reducing friction and spreading
   

Topical approaches are usually suitable for mild to moderate cases and can be combined with regular clinic care for the best results.

For stubborn or recurring verruca's, we offer Faulkner's needling, a minor procedure that stimulates the body’s immune response to clear the virus. This is a safe and effective option when conservative treatment hasn’t resolved the problem.

Our podiatrists will assess your verruca and recommend the most suitable approach, providing treatment in a friendly, professional, and comfortable environment to help you get back on your feet quickly.

 At Spennymoor Foot Clinic, we offer comprehensive biomechanical assessments to help identify the root causes of foot, ankle, knee, or hip discomfort. By analysing how you move, we can provide targeted solutions to improve posture, reduce pain, and enhance overall mobility.

• Gait analysis to observe walking or running patterns
   
• Motion and pressure plate technology to measure weight distribution, balance, and pressure points
   
• Identification of biomechanical issues such as overpronation, supination, or asymmetrical movement
   

Based on your assessment, we can provide custom-made orthotics using Phits technology. These personalised insoles are designed to support your feet, correct alignment, and relieve pressure, improving comfort and performance for daily activities or sports.

Our friendly and experienced team ensures your assessment is thorough, informative, and tailored to your needs, helping you move more efficiently and comfortably.

 At Spennymoor Foot Clinic, we treat a range of dermatological foot conditions, helping to restore the health, appearance, and comfort of your feet.

• Fungal nails – thickened, discoloured, or brittle nails caused by fungal infection
   
• Athlete’s foot – itchy, flaky, or irritated skin between toes or on the foot
   
• Other skin conditions – including dry, cracked, or inflamed skin
   

We provide safe and effective treatment using the latest techniques, including:

• Nail debridement to reduce thickness and discomfort
   
• Topical or prescription treatments for fungal infections
   
• Advice on prevention, hygiene, and moisture management
   

Our goal is to relieve symptoms, prevent recurrence, and maintain healthy feet in a friendly, professional, and non-judgemental environment. Regular follow-up care ensures your feet stay comfortable and infection-free.
