Treating a variety of foot conditions confidently, providing a thorough assessment and diagnosis, and having the ability to advise and deliver a high standard of service each time is of extreme importance.
There is no difference between a chiropodist and podiatrist. The term podiatrist is the internationally recognised word, where as the word chiropodist was primarily used in the UK, however this is now changing. Practitioners who call themselves chiropodists and podiatrists must be registered with the Health Professionals Council.
A podiatrist/chiropodist is a healthcare professional who specializes in the treatment, prevention, diagnosis and rehabilitation of foot problems and lower limb problems related to the foot.
Podiatrists can help to reduce pain, aid mobility, help foot function, improve tissue viability and generally make us feel better and more comfortable. A podiatrist can help anyone of any age from small children to the elderly with a range of treatments.
