Frequently Asked Questions

Let's Answer Your Podiatry Questions!

A chiropodist/podiatrist is a healthcare professional specialising in the diagnosis, prevention, management, and treatment of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. In the UK, these terms are often used interchangeably. To qualify, practitioners complete a three to four-year full-time degree in podiatric medicine, including at least 1,000 hours of supervised clinical practice. Podiatrists are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), ensuring they meet strict professional standards. They treat a wide range of issues, from routine foot care like nail cutting and corn removal to complex problems such as foot pain, injuries, mobility issues and diabetic foot complications.

Whether you need help with everyday foot care or more specialised treatment, a chiropodist/podiatrist is the trusted professional to support your foot health.

There is no difference, chiropodist and podiatrist are interchangeable titles. While podiatrist is the more commonly used term internationally, both are protected titles in the UK regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). The term chiropody is older and is gradually being phased out in favour of podiatry. Regardless of the title, both refer to fully qualified professionals trained to diagnose and treat foot, ankle, and lower limb conditions.

When you arrive at My Foot Medic, your podiatrist will start by discussing your concerns and any relevant health information to understand your needs. The consultation takes place in a comfortable podiatry chair, where your practitioner will carry out a personalised assessment.

Depending on your condition, a variety of diagnostic tools and tests may be used to identify the root of the problem. Your podiatrist will explain all suitable treatment options clearly and discuss them with you before beginning any care, nothing will be done without your consent.

In many cases, treatment can start during your first appointment, but this depends on your individual situation. Throughout your visit, we aim to ensure you feel comfortable, informed, and supported on your journey to better health.

Please see our booking page for pricing and availability.

Follow-Up Appointment: Up to 30 minutes

During your visit, your podiatrist will assess your concern, explain their findings, and discuss treatment options with you. With your consent, treatment can often begin during the first appointment, but this depends on your individual situation.
