A smarter way to tackle stubborn verrucae
Verrucae can be painful, persistent, and downright annoying when they keep catching under your foot. We use the Swift machine at The Footcare Clinic in Macclesfield to treat affected tissue with targeted microwave energy through a special probe applied to the skin. That means you're not just covering the problem up with another home remedy that sits on the surface. We've seen how over-the-counter treatments can drag on for weeks while walking still feels uncomfortable.
If verrucae are affecting the way you walk or stand, biomechanics and gait analysis can help assess any additional strain they're placing on your feet. With qualified podiatrists carrying out your care, you get a treatment plan that makes sense for the type and position of the verruca. The Footcare Clinic has been helping people in Macclesfield since 1988, and this treatment gives you a modern option when you want to move things along properly.

Having had problems with my feet for years, I visited The Footcare Clinic and was so pleased to see, after one visit, a complete transformation. I have now had 2 further treatments and I feel like I have a new set of feet! Nick, from Macclesfield.
Why home treatments often fall short
Home treatments can seem handy, but they often rely on repeated applications and plenty of patience. Verrucae sit within the skin, which is why surface-level products don't always get to the tissue causing the problem. Our Swift treatment uses microwave energy in a controlled way, giving us a different route to managing stubborn cases.
We can also treat warts and verrucae on hands as well as feet, which makes this useful for more than one type of skin concern. If you're unsure whether your symptoms are caused by a verruca or something else, general podiatry is a good place to start. If you've been stuck in a cycle of patches, creams, and crossed fingers, this is a more direct conversation to have.
