What can a Chiropodist / Podiatrist do for me?

 

If you have painful feet, thickened or discoloured toenails, cracked skin, growths or any other foot-related problems you may want to see a Chiropodist / Podiatrist for advice and treatment.

 

Chiropodists / Podiatrists also supply orthotics (prescription insoles), padding and arch supports to relieve painful feet, knees, hips and back.

 

If your feet are generally in good condition, you might consider having a single session of Chiropody/ Podiatry to have the hard skin on your feet removed, toenails clipped, or just to check that you’re looking after your feet properly.

 

Your Chiropodist / Podiatrist can also help with more complex foot problems including preventing, diagnosing and treating injuries related to sports and/or exercise.
