Podiatrist or Chiropodist?

Technically there is no difference between a Podiatrist and a Chiropodist. Podiatrists assess, diagnose, and treat conditions related to the foot and lower limb. As of 1993, Chiropody changed its name to Podiatry, as it is the internationally recognised name for a foot specialist, and also more appropriate as podiatry reflects the advancements of treatment and regulatory changes within the profession and encompasses pharmacology, biomechanics, gait analysis, orthotic prescription and nail surgery.  Our professional body has recently changed its name from the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists to the College of Podiatry reflecting the change.

My plantar fasciitis is considerably improved. Thank you so much for your help. I have already recommended you to lots of my friends.

Mr A.

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful attention that you gave to my husband. We made an appointment for him to see the doctor showing a copy of your referral. He definitely has a heart condition; he is on blood thinner medication and awaiting an ECG. We would never had known except for your diligence.

My corn has not hurt at all since my last appointment. You are the best chiropodist I’ve ever been to.
