PODTOX

specialist podiatry treatments

Heel pain / plantar fasciitis

If you are struggling with persistent heel pain, Coventry Foot Clinic can help you explore if Podtox injection therapy is right for you. Your qualified podiatrist will discuss your symptoms, answer your questions, and guide you through possible next steps for relief.

WHAT IS
PODtox®?

PODtox® is a treatment involving injections of botulin toxin, a naturally occurring protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. It is a safe treatment and can only be carried out and prescribed by trained medical practitioners.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

PODtox® blocks the transmission of chemical messages from the nerve to the muscle so it stays in a resting state for around 3 to 6 months. It does not reduce the function of the foot however. In some cases PODtox can also be administered to tight calf muscles which can further help improve plantar fasciitis symptoms.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Results tend to last 3 to 6 months. We find that often frequency of treatments can be extended after a few sessions. Should you choose not to maintain the results and halt further treatments, in time, your muscles and skin will return to their pre treatment state.

DOES IT
HURT?

As local anaesthetic is used through a very fine needle in most cases only minimal discomfort is found with some patients reporting it was pain free. You must not drive for 24 hours after treatment and will need to rest for 24 hours. Normal activity can then resume.

Ball of foot pain / Morton’s neuroma

Whilst there are lots of different causes of pain in the ball of the foot, a common problem is a Morton’s neuroma. If you suspect you might be suffering from this condition book in for an initial assessment and consultation to see if PODtox may be able to help you.

WHAT IS
PODtox®?

PODtox® involves the use of botulinum toxin, a purified protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This safe, regulated treatment may only be prescribed and administered by trained medical professionals.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

PODtox® blocks the transmission of chemical messages from the nerve to the muscle so it stays in a resting state for around 3 to 6 months. This can aid healing and it is believed can help to shrink the painful neuroma. This, however, does not reduce the function of the foot so it will continue to move normally.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Results tend to last 3 to 6 months. We find that often frequency of treatments can be extended after a few sessions, especially if healing and reduction of inflammation has occurred.

DOES IT
HURT?

A local anaesthetic is administered using a very fine needle, and most patients experience only minimal discomfort — many even describe the procedure as completely pain free. You should avoid driving and rest for 24 hours following treatment, after which normal activities can be resumed.

SWEATY FEET

Regain confidence and comfort with a discreet approach to foot odour, athletes foot and excessive sweating. PODtox® addresses these common concerns supporting your overall foot health and leaving you feeling fresher every day. You will no longer need to keep applying home remedies and results can last anything from 3 to 6 months, sometimes longer after a few sessions.

WHAT IS
PODtox®?

PODtox® is a treatment that uses small injections of botulinum toxin — a naturally occurring protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is a safe and effective procedure that can only be prescribed and administered by trained medical professionals.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

PODtox® blocks the transmission of chemical messages from the nerve to the sweat glands so they stay in a resting state for around 3 to 6 months.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Results tend to last 3 to 6 months. We find that often frequency of treatments can be extended after a few sessions as the sweat glands can start to degenerate.

DOES IT
HURT?

This treatment is performed under a local anaesthetic (small injection to numb the sole of the foot) so you will not feel the small injections of PODtox®. Some people need the whole sole of the foot treating, others just the area around the toes. You must not drive for 24 hours after treatment and will also need to rest for 24 hours. Normal activity can then resume.

Book now for an initial consultation where your condition will be assessed, any questions will be answered and a treatment plan designed just for you.
