Testimonials  

  • Plantar fasciitis can be excruciating and long lasting. At my wit's end from this recurrent problem which was affecting my life in so many ways I turned to Carol Howlett, bleating to her about my woes. I cannot thank her enough for her advice, exercises and the course of 5 Laser Treatments in particular, that made such amazing improvements to the pain which has now all but gone. I can walk for miles and easily manage any twinges with stretching exercises. "Laser" is painless. It took the 5 treatments I was given to sort out my considerable problems, but has worked. I can now stride out with my dog everyday and get on with my life without thinking about my feet for the first time in years. With sincere thanks, from a very satisfied client.

    Regular Care

  • After having had 2 hip replacements  I was left with a slight limp as one leg was shorter than the other. I had gait analysis at Howlett & Dickinson and a pair of orthotics were made to raise the short leg. They are great, I don't limp when I wear my orthotics and I feel much more stable. I now have 3 pairs for my shoes and trainers for the gym. Thank you Carol you have helped me tremendously and I fully recommend Howlett & Dickinson podiatrists.
