CHIROPODY

"Chiropody is the assessment of the foot and the treatment and prevention of disease or disorders of the foot by therapeutic, surgical, orthotic, and palliative means." 

 

Chiropodists are primary healthcare providers that treat people of all ages and activity levels. A referral or previous diagnosis of foot pain is not required to visit a chiropodist. Chiropodists offer general and preventative foot care for a wide range of foot and toe conditions. Are you suffering from plantar fasciitis, heel pain, flat feet or diabetic foot issues? We treat at all the levels of the foot, from surface skin infections, ingrown toe nails to bone and joint pain. We also can provide custom orthotics. 

 

Your first chiropody visit will include a full history and foot exam which will allow your chiropodist to develop a comprehensive management plan to meet your foot care needs.

Chiropody services may be covered by your third party insurance, so check with your plan administrator for more details.
