This blog discusses topics in health and wellbeing, along with our opinions.
Our feet carry us through life — more than 120,000 kilometres by the time we’re 50 — yet we often ignore them until they hurt. From painful nails to sports injuries or complex musculoskeletal conditions, your feet deserve expert care.
Clear hearing keeps you connected, confident and independent. At Niva Medical Clinic, Stanmore, our HCPC-registered, fully qualified and professionally regulated audiologists deliver compassionate, evidence-based care — from hearing tests and tinnitus support to advanced hearing aids and safe earwax removal.
At Niva Medical Clinic, we understand the critical importance of providing high-quality dermatology care within the local community. Under the guidance of Dr Varun Dravid, a highly skilled GP with Specialist Interest (GPwSI) in dermatology, we bring excellent dermatological services directly to patients. With a strong foundation in both dermatology and minor surgical procedures, Dr Dravid offers an integrated, compassionate approach to skin health that ensures patients receive the care they need, close to home.
In our rapidly evolving world, mental health awareness and consultation have become essential topics. Yet, despite advancements in awareness, the topic remains shrouded in complexity, often veiled by stigma and misunderstanding. At Niva Medical Clinic, we recognise the importance of mental health as a cornerstone of overall wellbeing. Our mission extends beyond merely offering professional mental health consultations; we are committed to fostering a culture where mental health is treated with the same respect and urgency as physical health.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects 1 in 4 adults in the UK – but many people don’t even realise they have it. That’s why it’s often called the “silent killer.” If left untreated, high blood pressure significantly increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, and dementia.
Diabetes and prediabetes are health conditions that affect how your body regulates blood sugar. At Niva Medical Clinic, based in Stanmore and serving Harrow, Edgware, Wembley, Bushey, Watford, and Northwood, we provide expert screening, diagnosis, and management, along with personalised lifestyle support.
