Podiatrist or Chiropodist. Who do I need to see?

Not sure whether you should be seeing a podiatrist or chiropodist?

What is the difference! 

In recent years, there are no Chiropody courses available as the name was changed to “Podiatry”.

Podiatrists spend 3-4 years at university and specialise in all treatments related to feet, including lower leg pain, foot pain and gait analysis. 

Here are some of the common conditions that we treat:

Thickened nails

Fungal nails                                                                                       

Ingrown nails
