What patients say about their care

★★★★★

“I just wanted to send my thanks to Mr Cichero and yourself for such a successful outcome with my toe fusion. Thanks to Mr Cichero for his expert surgical skills and to you for your impressive organisational skills. We are currently touring Northern Spain in our campervan and have just spent a week walking in the Picos. I have had no pain in my toe joint despite the rough rocky terrain. What an amazing result!”

“Because of painful arthritis and foot deformity, I lost the ability to walk cross country courses so could no longer help my equestrian students. After four successful corrective operations I am now able to do everything I could do 20 years ago and am virtually pain free thanks to Mr Yates. I cannot recommend him more highly.”

Undertaking a gait analysis followed by a biomechanical assessment can identify whether the structure or function of the lower leg is contributing to a specific foot or lower leg problem. Orthotics are custom devices placed inside shoes to support or correct foot and lower leg issues. They can help prevent the need for surgery or be used alongside surgical treatment to improve outcomes. Find out more →

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in damaged soft tissues. It promotes blood flow, tissue regeneration, and helps restore function in conditions like tendon and ligament injuries. Find out more →

Injection therapy is a treatment where medications are injected directly into damaged tissues or joints to reduce pain and inflammation, promoting healing and improved function. It is commonly used for conditions like arthritis and tendon injuries to provide targeted relief and support recovery. Find out more →
