— Harley Street Patient

“I was so fortunate to have a world-class surgeon who was able to adapt when the situation required. So my treatment had to change, but he had both the materials and expertise to do this on the spot.”

— Matrix Clinic Patient

“I’m only one day postop, so results tbc, but Dr Cichero has been great. He was very thorough and clear about issues/options during my first appointment, and the same again around the surgery. He is very friendly and confident, honest about risks and with a reassuring manner that gives you confidence you’re in good hands.”

Foot and Ankle Surgery

Gait Analysis & Orthotics

Undertaking a gait analysis followed by a biomechanical assessment can identify whether the structure or function of the lower leg is contributing to a specific foot or lower leg problem. Orthotics are custom devices placed inside shoes to support or correct foot and lower leg issues. They can help prevent the need for surgery or be used alongside surgical treatment to improve outcomes.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in damaged soft tissues. It promotes blood flow, tissue regeneration, and helps restore function in conditions like tendon and ligament injuries.
Injection Therapy

Injection therapy is a treatment where medications are injected directly into damaged tissues or joints to reduce pain and inflammation, promoting healing and improved function. It is commonly used for conditions like arthritis and tendon injuries to provide targeted relief and support recovery.
Sports Injuries

Our extensive experience in treating foot and ankle sports injuries ensures you get expert care tailored to your needs. We focus on helping you recover quickly and safely, so you can return to the activities you enjoy most with confidence and comfort.
