Your care at South London Foot Clinic

Needling techniques used as part of a broader MSK plan

Our podiatrists use dry needling and, where appropriate, electroacupuncture to help selected muscle and myofascial pain presentations in the foot, ankle, and lower limb.

What to expect at your appointment

We explain what these techniques can and cannot do, screen for contraindications, and combine them with exercises, load management, and hands-on care where needed.

Why patients choose our podiatry team

  • Clear screening before needling is used
  • Plain-language explanation of sensations and after-effects
  • Integrated with exercise and rehabilitation rather than used in isolation
  • Follow-up based on response and function

“She explained how the corn formed and explained what she would do to remove it. She worked quickly causing minimal discomfort, applied an antiseptic and bandaged the area when she had finished.”
