We are a team of Podiatrists with a blend of Special Interests. Many people ask us: what’s the difference between Chiropody and Podiatry? Basically, Podiatric Medicine (Podiatry) is a Graduate Profession. As the University degree training encompasses Minor Surgery, Lower Limb Biomechanics, Anaesthesia and Injection techniques, Dermatology, Wound care and more(!) it is a broader and deeper training than routine foot-care (often called ‘Chiropody’ in the UK). We proudly offer both Podiatry and Chiropody appointments as they complement each other perfectly. For example, your Podiatry assessment may show that you need orthotic insoles, specialist trainers or other hands-on treatment to relieve foot pain. However, before the application of orthotic insoles, it may be necessary to remove Hyperkeratoses (“corns” or “callouses”). In this instance, a Chiropody treatment can painlessly remove the Lesions by Scalpel, on both feet in one session. On other occasions, you may require nail care; either for the treatment of an ingrown nail or for discoloured nail analysis. In these cases, we may offer Podiatry to resolve these problems (which could include Minor Surgery with an Anaesthetic if indicated). Equally, we may resolve some issues with a more straightforward Chiropody appointment. Regular Chiropody sessions could then be ideal to assist you with your ongoing foot-care and nail trimming regime. To book your Chiropody or Podiatry appointment, please book online at...
