Frequently asked questions
1. What is the difference between Podiatry and Chiropody?
Chiropodists now tend to call themselves podiatrists as it reflects the full scope of practice now covered in their training.
2. How often do I need to come to see a Podiatrist?
If there are no pending problems then 3-6 monthly foot checks are adequate but regular 6 to 8 week appointments can be beneficial to some patients.
3. What are Orthotics and do they work?
They are specifically made casted devices to wear inside your shoe to control, realign or cushion any abnormalities. They are very effective so long as the prescription is accurate and the patient wears them in correctly and continues to wear them on a regular basis.
4. Is there an age limit (young/old) when one should see a Podiatrist?
Not at all. Children as young as 2 years of age come for biomechanical assessments and as old as 100 for routine foot care. Prevention is always better than cure.
Consultation fees:
Initial consultation 30 minutes - £40
