Suffering from a Verrucae?
A verrucae is a viral infection infecting the skin cells on the soles of the feet called the Human Papilloma Virus. The virus is usually caught in areas that are warm and moist such as swimming pools, changing rooms and communal showers.
The slightly abrasive non slip tiles in these environments hold the verrucae virus and when walked on feet can pick up verrucae cells particularly if the skin on the foot is cut or scratched allowing the viral cells to enter the skin. People of all ages can catch a verrucae.
The appearance of a verrucae varies, they can be flat or raised, normal skin colour or slightly yellow due to the build up of hard skin. The may or may not contain small black dots which are small blood vessels drawn up to the surface of the skin.
Reasons to treat a verrucae
Verrucae are harmless. However, they can spread and in some cases be painful as hard skin forms. People may want to treat them because they find them unsightly, are concerned they will spread or just don’t like the thought of having a virus on their foot.
A podiatrist is helpful when home treatment or over the counter products aren’t working, or the verrucae is painful, when there are several, or you have a medical condition that prevents you using over the counter products.
Our RANGE OF VERRUCAe TREATMENTS
The hard skin would be removed painlessly to increase comfort and help treatments work more effectively.
There are several options. These will all be discussed on your visit the treatment is decided based on what is right for you. Factors considered are; the site of the verrucae, mobility, medical history to name a few.
All of the treatments involve stimulating the immune system, which can take several months to fight the virus. As a result, our treatments have varying review times and healing rates.

ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture involves stimulating sensory nerves under the skin and in the muscles of the body.
This results in the body producing natural substances, such as pain-relieving endorphins, and an increase in blood to the area, encouraging healing.
Carried out correctly, acupuncture is completely safe.
All of our therapists are AACP registered, and we use single use needles provided by the AACP.
A range of soft tissue techniques, stretching and mobilisations to reduce tension and tightness in the muscles.
The benefits of a sports massage are numerous: improved flexibility, reduced risk of injury, injury recovery, and a boosted circulatory system.
Sports massage is fantastic for both event preparation and event recovery. We have helped many clients before and after marathons, power lifting competitions, football matches, and to stay loose in general.
