Comprehensive Podiatry Services
Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis
The foundation of effective treatment lies in accurate diagnosis. Our podiatrists employ advanced diagnostic techniques, including detailed biomechanical evaluation and sophisticated gait analysis using video technology. This thorough assessment allows us to identify underlying causes of foot problems and develop targeted treatment strategies that address both immediate symptoms and long-term foot health.
Specialist Treatments
Our expertise in custom orthotics sets us apart in London’s podiatry landscape. Working alongside Europe’s leading orthotic manufacturer, we create bespoke insoles that do more than just provide comfort – they’re precisely engineered to correct biomechanical issues, improve posture, and enhance your daily mobility. Whether you’re managing chronic foot pain or seeking to improve athletic performance, our custom orthotics are crafted to meet your specific needs.
Professional foot care at Freedom Clinics encompasses everything from routine maintenance to complex treatments. Our podiatrists excel in medical nail care, providing expert treatment for problematic nails and ingrown toenails. We offer effective solutions for common issues like corns and calluses, and utilise cutting-edge Swift® therapy for verruca treatment, currently considered the gold standard in plantar wart management.
For more persistent nail problems, our surgical expertise comes to the fore. We provide specialist nail surgery services, including both partial and total nail avulsion procedures, always performed under local anaesthetic with meticulous attention to post-operative care and recovery.
Common Foot Conditions
Our podiatrists have developed significant expertise in treating a wide range of foot conditions. While we maintain comprehensive knowledge of all foot health issues, we’ve developed particular specialisation in several key areas. For persistent heel pain and plantar fasciitis, we offer targeted treatment programmes that combine immediate pain relief with long-term management strategies.
Our approach to biomechanical issues encompasses both corrective treatments and preventive care, helping patients maintain optimal foot health.

Custom Foot Orthoses/Orthotics(Insoles)
Custom foot orthotics are shoe inserts designed to support the natural shape of the foot and alter where the force goes through your foot when walking, standing or exercising. Our expert podiatrists prescribe orthotics to treat a range of foot, ankle, leg and lower back conditions.
Freedom Clinics use Europe’s leading orthotic manufacturer to expertly craft the custom-made insoles. Our podiatrist will write a prescription specifically tailored to you. Our experts use a variety of methods to capture an impression of your foot depending on the needs and nature of your condition.
How do custom foot orthotics help?
Custom foot orthotics are prescribed to help alleviate and prevent foot, ankle, knee pain, and improve your balance and foot function in general.
Benefits of custom foot orthotics can include:
- Support your feet and legs whenever weight bearing to increase confidence and sports performance.
- Improve chronic and acute sports injuries.
- Improve weight distribution and posture.
- Optimise shoe fit, comfort and absorb shock.
- Alter abnormal foot functioning position to correct many common foot ailments or prevent them from getting worse.
- Can eliminate low back pain from leg length differences.
- Improve your balance.
How we make your custom foot orthotics:
When you book an appointment at Freedom Clinics your podiatrist will provide a musculoskeletal assessment including a video gait analysis. In addition, we take a 3D capture of your foot, that creates an exact likeness of your foot in its corrected position. This capture will be sent to a laboratory – designing and creating an insole customised for you.
Special Features:
- No messy plaster casts required.
- Individualised design that can be adjusted and modified – ID required.
- Our orthotics fit any shoe type from athletic to dress shoes to football or works boots – even ballet slippers.
Podiatry & Chiropody Analysis
Biomechanical & GAIT Analysis
A biomechanical assessment & gait analysis is where our expert podiatrist will look at the mechanics and way you move. The clinician will look for abnormalities that could be contributing to your condition; whether it’s in the foot, ankle, knee, hip or lower back. They can advise you on exercises to help alleviate these issues along with issuing orthotics made in our specialist laboratory.
Podiatry & Chiropody Devices
Orthotics & Insoles
These are often used for treatment of musculoskeletal pain to adjust foot shape (flat feet) and function. These come in various forms and our podiatrists have searched the market for the best devices to meet your needs and footwear. They will advise you on which device would best suit your needs. The devices are either off-the-shelf (made to a generic shape) or custom made (as all feet are different) to an individually tailored prescription.
Differences between Podiatry & Chiropody:
In reality there are very little differences between podiatrists and chiropodists. The UK changed the name of the profession from Chiropodist to Podiatrist to fall in line with the rest of the world. The name ‘Pod’ originates from the Greek word for ‘foot’.
The change was also to protect the professional titles to only enable degree-trained people to use this term. This means all Podiatrist & Chiropodists are fully insured and regulated.
