Professional foot care for all ages

What Can We Do For You?

Problematic nails, such as those that are thick, ingrown, or damaged, can be both debilitating and unsightly. These issues often lead to infections in the surrounding skin and nails caused by bacteria or fungus. Prompt treatment is essential to restore nail health and prevent complications.

At Acorn Sports Podiatry, our HCPC-registered podiatrists are experienced in treating a wide range of problematic nail conditions. Often, a one-off treatment is sufficient, but for persistent issues, we offer alternative treatment plans, including nail surgery under local anaesthetic for permanent resolution.

Expert Podiatrists Ready to Help

If you're experiencing nail problems, we recommend booking a consultation. Our podiatrist will explain the treatment process and answer any questions. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent continued pain and recurrence.
