My name is Gill Newhouse and I am a registered Podiatrist (podiatry, chiropody, chiropodist) covering the Lancashire area in particular the Garstang, Over Wyre and surrounding areas.Welcome to my new website.
If you are unable to visit me in my Garstang or Knott End clinic, let me know and I will arrange to visit you at home.
Podiatry covers far more than just the routine cutting of nails and day to day care. Every HPC Registered Podiatrist is medically trained in their speciality and is experienced in all aspects of care from the knee downwards, from simple nail care, verrucae, corns and bunions to diabetic ulcers and gangrene.
At every visit, even if it is needed just because you are unable to cut your toe nails, a HPC Registered Podiatrist will always check the circulation, skin tone and texture and many other signs of general health. A HPC Registered Podiatrist is trained and licensed to diagnose all.
