Diabetic Foot Screening
Mark Brennan Chiropody is a practice of excellence for Diabetic foot screening and Mark is the Advanced Specialist Podiatrist in Diabetes at Arrowe Park Hospital’s Diabetic Clinic – see further information on the About Us page.
If you have diabetes it is important that you have your feet checked by a Podiatrist on a regular basis. Patients with Diabetes should undergo Diabetic Foot Screening at least once a year, so that any complications of the diabetic foot can be picked up on as soon as possible.
Mark will be able to treat any routine foot problems which may have developed. He can give advice on the best foot care and footwear for the diabetic foot. NB. If you are a Diabetic patient with any problems or complications of the foot, you will be given a priority appointment to receive treatment same day.

Nail Surgery
If an in-growing toenail problem persists despite routine podiatry treatment, Nail Surgery may be advised. This simple procedure involves Local Anaesthetic, tourniquet, removal of offending nail section, then phenolisation to stop any re-growth. The results are excellent.
Post operatively patients are delighted that a reoccurring problem is resolved one and for all.

Local Anaesthetic
Both of our podiatrists are trained to give Local Anaesthetics, to be utilised as and when required dealing with various painful conditions. Particularly when carrying out Nail Surgery.

Biomechanics and Gait Analysis
Both of our podiatrists are trained to assess patients gait and diagnose the appropriate treatment to improve a patient’s gait cycle, which can involve the manufacture and provision of inlays/orthotics.
Inlays/orthotics can provide comfort to a foot with injury and may also support the foot as necessary reducing pronation, encouraging a more economical gait cycle.
