What is Chiropody?

Chiropody is the assessment of the foot and the treatment and prevention of diseases or disorders of the foot by therapeutic, orthotic and palliative means. Don't underestimate the importance of healthy feet! Foot deformities, infections and injuries not only limit your mobility, but also can detrimentally affect your knees, hips, and other parts of the body.

What does a Chiropodist Do?

Chiropodists specialize in the recognition, assessment, treatment, and ongoing care of the foot. An essential member of the health care team, the Chiropodist has many skills and techniques that help patients eliminate foot pain, gain mobility, and maintain healthy feet. Chiropodists treat:

Sports injuries
Common foot conditions such as corns, warts, ingrown toenails or calluses
Foot infections caused by medical conditions such as diabetes
Foot deformities and misalignments both in adults and children

Effective practice requires a high degree of manual dexterity, diagnostic skills, a caring and professional attitude and effective communication skills. A career in chiropody is both varied and challenging.
