Chiropody & Podiatry

All Registered Podiatrists complete a degree in Podiatric Medicine. All foot and ankle conditions are treated, including simple skin and nail problems

In addition to regular foot care services, our team also specialises in ingrowing toenail surgery under local anaesthetic. This provides a cure to persistent painful and infected ingrown nails. This minor surgical procedure is comfortable and well tolerated by the patient. We also provide biomechanical evaluation, gait analysis and orthotic prescription.

Many musculoskeletal problems can be caused by dysfunction of the foot and ankle. Identifying these and correcting the way in which the foot and ankle work during walking and running can minimise the stress placed on the body. This is usually achieved by placing a specially manufactured orthotic, a functional foot insert into the shoes. We specialise in the care of ‘at risk feet’.

Injection & Shockwave Therapy

Injection Therapy

Part of our unique offering at Oakfield Physiotherapy, Injection Therapy is the use of anti-inflammatory agents which are administered into joints and soft tissues for pain relief and reduction of swelling. It has been an accepted part of the practice of Physiotherapists trained in the technique since 1997

Theoretically, any joint can be injected but common injures treated with this are approach are osteoarthritis, tendonitis, e.g in the shoulder, knee or elbow, fasciitis (inflammation of connective tissue) and joint swelling. Our skilled practicioners will advise you if this course of treatment is suitable for you...

Shockwave Therapy

At Oakfield Physiotherapy we are one of the few Physiotherapy Clinics locally to actually have a Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) unit on site

Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment, and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy treatment is a highly effective treatment available for patients with:

Plantar Fasciitis

Shoulder pain

Tennis elbow

Achilles Tendonopathy

Trochanteric bursitis (Lateral hip pain)

This can be a very successful second line treatment for patients who fail to respond to appropriate physiotherapy or other conservative treatments.

Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment, and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon. This increases the blood flow within the affected area, stimulating cell regeneration and healing, and decreasing local factors which can cause pain.
