FAQs
Q: What Is the Difference Between Chiropody and Podiatry?
A: Chiropody and podiatry both focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of foot and lower limb conditions. While “chiropody” is the traditional term often used in the UK, “podiatry” has become more widely recognised internationally and encompasses a broader range of advanced medical treatments.
Q: Do I need a referral to see a chiropodist or podiatrist?
A: No, you don’t need a referral. You can book an appointment directly with us for any foot-related concerns, whether it’s routine care like nail cutting or treatment for a specific condition such as heel pain or ingrown toenails. However, if you’re referred by a GP or specialist, we’re happy to work alongside them to ensure you receive the best care.
Q: How often should I visit a chiropodist or podiatrist?
A: The frequency of visits depends on your individual needs. For routine foot care, such as nail trimming or corn removal, many people benefit from appointments every 6-8 weeks. If you have a specific condition, such as diabetes, heel pain, or require orthotics, we’ll recommend a tailored treatment plan with appropriate follow-up intervals. Regular check-ups help maintain optimal foot health and prevent future issues.
