Just a note to say a big thank you to Mr Lokat at the Leicester Podiatry Clinic for getting rid of my horrible verrucaes!! I tried for several years with all kinds of treatments ranging from liquid nitrogen to banana skin and felt at a loss. The dry needling treatment under local anaesthesia got rid off them instantly and now I have a normal pain free foot. Thanks again.

I met Abid after suffering from corns that made even standing so painful. I was hesitant after hearing stories from friends who had seen chiropodists in the past and informed me that the treatment would be painful and I would not be able to walk afterwards. Abid explained the cause of the corns, reassured me and just after one treatment my feet felt wonderful.
