During your appointment we will assess your foot health as well as how it relates to your general well-being. When we carry out treatment on your feet, we will use tools and instruments suitable for podiatry treatment. This includes scalpels and other sharp instruments. Whilst every care is taken during your treatment there is a slight risk of puncture of the skin during your treatment. This risk can be increased by factors such as poor quality of skin or if you are taking blood thinner (anticoagulants). Treatment also carries a very slight risk of infection after treatment. Certain advanced treatments may have other risks or side effects which will be explained in full prior to being carried out. These treatments will normally have additional consent forms and procedures. In the unlikely event that you experience a problem after your treatment please contact the clinic as soon as possible so that we can reassess and rectify the issue.
