What is Podiatry?

Podiatry is a medical treatment, not a cosmetic service. After treatment, however, the feet will often look so much better, and feel more comfortable.

What is the difference between a Chiropodist and a Podiatrist?

Chiropody/chiropodist have been titles used chiefly in the UK while podiatry/podiatrist are used in the rest of the English speaking world. Increasingly, the term podiatrist is being used in Britain. 

Since July 2005, both terms have become protected which means that the titles can only be used by practitioners who are registered with the Health Professions Council.

What Qualifications will my Podiatrist have?
