At the footcare clinic, we often get asked about the difference between a podiatrist and a chiropodist. The truth is, they are essentially the same. Both terms refer to healthcare professionals who specialise in treating foot and lower limb conditions. In the UK, "podiatrist" has become the more commonly used term, but rest assured,

whether you see “chiropodist" or "podiatrist,” you're in safe hands with our team.

At the Footcare clinic, our podiatrists treat a wide range of foot and lower limb issues. These include conditions like bunions, heel pain, ingrown toenails, and verrucas. We also offer specialised services such as custom orthotics to support foot function and prevent further complications. If you’re experiencing discomfort in your feet, we encourage you to visit us for a thorough assessment.

If you're experiencing persistent foot pain, discomfort while walking, or changes in the appearance of your feet, it may be time to visit the Footcare clinic. Common signs include swelling, numbness, or difficulty wearing shoes due to changes in foot shape. It's better to address these issues early before they worsen, and our podiatrists are here to provide the right treatment and advice.

You don't need a referral to visit the footcare clinic. Whether you're dealing with a chronic issue or just need a routine check-up, you can contact us directly to book an appointment. We pride ourselves on making foot care accessible to everyone, so please don't hesitate to reach out whenever you need us.

During your first visit to the Footcare clinic, our podiatrists will take a detailed medical history and assess your feet. This may include checking your circulation, nerve function, and gait (how you walk). After a thorough examination, we will discuss a tailored treatment plan to address any concerns you may have. Our goal is to help you maintain healthy, pain-free feet.
