Podiatry is the healthcare profession specialising in the feet, toes and lower limbs. A podiatrist assesses and treats problems such as foot pain, nail concerns, skin conditions and issues affecting walking or physical activity.
Chiropody is the traditional term for professional foot care, while podiatry is the term more commonly used in the UK today. So, if you're searching for a chiropodist near me, chiropody near me or podiatrist near me, you're generally looking for the same type of professional foot care.

You don't need to know exactly what's causing your problem before making an appointment. Our podiatry service can help with:
You don't need to arrive knowing what's wrong or what treatment you need.
Tell us what's been happening, what you're concerned about and how it's affecting you.
We'll examine your feet and, where relevant, consider your walking pattern and lower-limb function.
We'll explain what we've found and what it means for you in clear, straightforward language.
If treatment is appropriate, we'll discuss the available options and explain what you can do next.
A foot problem can be easy to ignore until it starts affecting your everyday life. Consider seeking professional advice if you're:
Changing the way you walk because of foot discomfort
Avoiding activities because your feet hurt
Struggling with footwear because of a foot or nail problem
Dealing with a foot problem that keeps returning
Unsure whether a change in your feet needs attention
Concerned about your child's feet or walking
Finding that self-care isn't resolving the problem
You don't necessarily need ongoing treatment. Sometimes, understanding the problem and knowing what to do next is enough.
A foot problem can affect the way you walk, exercise and manage everyday activities. Where relevant, your assessment can consider your walking pattern, activity levels and lower-limb function, rather than focusing only on the area that hurts.
This helps provide advice that fits your individual situation.
