Chiropody Service – The ARC

Chiropody Service

Professional foot care in a comfortable, welcoming environment — subsidised for our members and their families.

Chiropody at The ARC

At The ARC, we believe that every aspect of our members' health and wellbeing matters — including their foot health. That's why we're proud to offer a regular, subsidised Chiropody Service, bringing a qualified local chiropodist directly to our centre.

Good foot health is essential to comfort, mobility and quality of life — especially for adults with additional support needs who may find it more difficult to access routine podiatry care through mainstream services. Our Chiropody Service removes those barriers, providing expert treatment in a safe, familiar and relaxed setting.

Whether you're a member, a parent or a carer, our service is open to you — and all treatments are offered at a subsidised rate to make professional foot care as accessible as possible.

What the Service Offers

🦶

Routine Foot Care & Nail Cutting

Our visiting chiropodist provides professional nail cutting and general foot maintenance — treatments that are simple but can make a significant difference to daily comfort and mobility, particularly for those who struggle to manage foot care independently.

🩺

Assessment & Podiatry Advice

Each visit includes a full assessment of the feet and lower limbs, with professional advice tailored to the individual. Common issues such as corns, calluses, verrucas, ingrown toenails and skin conditions can all be assessed and treated as appropriate.

💷

Subsidised Treatments

All treatments provided through The ARC's Chiropody Service are offered at a subsidised rate, making professional foot care accessible for members and their families. Full pricing details are available on request — please contact Vikki Flynn for more information.

📅

Bi-Monthly Appointments

Our chiropodist visits The ARC on a bi-monthly basis, providing a regular and reliable appointment schedule. This frequency ensures that foot health can be properly maintained and monitored over time, with continuity of care from the same trusted practitioner.

🏠

A Familiar, Comfortable Setting

Appointments take place right here at The ARC — an environment our members know and trust. For many individuals, receiving healthcare in a familiar, supportive setting removes a significant amount of anxiety and makes the experience far more comfortable than visiting an unfamiliar clinic.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

👋

A Warm Welcome

You'll be greeted by our team on arrival and guided through to the treatment area. We'll make sure you and your family member feel relaxed and comfortable before the appointment begins. There's no rush — we work at the pace that suits you.

📋

Initial Assessment

Your chiropodist will start with a brief consultation to understand any concerns, medical history relevant to foot health, and what treatments are needed. This ensures that every appointment is fully tailored to the individual's needs.

Treatment & Aftercare Advice

Following the assessment, treatment will be carried out professionally and gently. Your chiropodist will also provide aftercare advice and recommendations for home foot care between appointments, helping to maintain good foot health day to day.
