What is a Foot Health Practitioner?
A Foot Health Practitioner is a specialised professional dedicated to maintaining and improving foot health. From diagnosing, treating, and preventing various foot-related conditions, I understand that healthy feet are essential for overall well-being, as they support our daily activities and mobility.
Here at Reflexationz, I offer comprehensive foot care tailored to your individual needs, ensuring you can step confidently into each day.
Toenail Reconstruction
This is amazing treatment where I create you a toenail from scratch. I use your real nail as a base to build a bespoke nail for you to match your other nails. It lasts 4-6 weeks (clients often find it lasts 4+ months if looked after). It can be painted afterwards using normal or gel nail Polish - very popular in the Summer and gives you back your confidence!
Ingrown Toenails
A common condition where the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain and infection.
Fungal Infections
Treatment for athlete’s foot and nail fungus (please see Lacuna Method section below).
Diabetic Foot Care
I am trained to provide foot care for individuals with diabetes. This includes neurovascular foot checks to monitor circulation and nerve health using a Doppler machine and monofilament.
Verrucas
I treat both children (6+) and adults by applying a nitri-acid solution that works to pull the root to the surface. These can be stubborn to treat with over-the-counter products and often need my professional help.
Lacuna Method
Simple, Effective Treatment for Fungal Nails
Fungal Nail Infections
Fungal Nail Infections are caused by the dermatophyte fungi that naturally live on our skin. When trauma to the nail occurs, i.e. micro trauma from footwear, the fungi can invade under the nail plate. In the moist warm environment of socks and shoes the fungi thrive, causing damage, thickening and discolouration to the nail. This most commonly affects the big toes; however, all nails are vulnerable.
Treatment is notoriously difficult as the nail plate acts as a barrier, shielding the area.
How do I know if I have Fungal Nails
You may have noticed changes in texture, quality and colour of your nails. Sometimes it is noticed after nail varnish or gels have been removed. Typical first signs are a yellowing or brown discolouration. Nails may become thick, crumbly or brittle. Nails can become distorted, misshapen and may lift from the nail bed losing their healthy shine.
What is the Lacuna Method ™?
The Lacuna Method is a treatment for fungal nails which involves drilling multiple micro holes through the nail plate, this allows an antifungal solution such as Lamisil at 1% Terbinofine Hydrochloride Spray to be transported to the area of infection (the nail bed) directly. I will the advise you on the frequency and duration of the application of the spray.
As the nail is ‘dead’ the holes remain and will grow out naturally. Review appointments are recommended on average every 6 weeks, however, this may vary and I will advise you of this.
This is a relatively new treatment and although short term studies have been very encouraging, no treatment an be guaranteed to be 100% successful.
How can Lacuna Method help me?
Fungal Nail Infection (Onychomycosis) is the most difficult of the superficial fungal infections to treat, as most topical agents are ineffective at penetrating the nail plate to reach the active infection on the nail bed (the skin under the nail). By making micro holes in the nail plate with the innovative and specially designed micro burrs, I (your foot specialist) will then apply an anti-fungal agent, such as Lamisil spray directly into the nail bed. This will spread under the nail as you walk. With daily application of the anti-fungal agent, the fungus is stopped from spreading and the damaged nail grows out. As the nail is dead, you cannot feel the holes being made.
