What is the difference between a chiropodist and a podiatrist?

The terms “chiropodist” and “podiatrist” are often used interchangeably in the UK and refer to the same profession. Both treat foot and lower limb issues. In many countries, including the US, “podiatrist” is the more commonly used term.

How can I prevent corns and calluses?

To prevent corns and calluses, wear well-fitted shoes that provide adequate support, avoid high heels, and keep your feet moisturized to prevent dry skin. Regularly trimming your toenails and cushioning pressure points on your feet with pads can also help.

How are ingrown toenails treated?

Mild ingrown toenails can often be treated by soaking the foot in warm water and wearing comfortable shoes. However, severe or persistent cases may require professional treatment, such as the removal of part or all of the nail to prevent further issues.

Initial Consultation: The first visit usually involves a full assessment of your foot health and typically costs between £40 and £70.
Follow-Up Appointments: Routine treatments such as nail care, corn/callus removal, and general foot care usually cost between £30 and £50 per session.
Specialized Treatments: More complex treatments like ingrown toenail surgery, biomechanical assessments, or orthotic fittings can range from £60 to £200 or more, depending on the service.
Home Visits: If you require a chiropodist to visit your home, the cost may be higher, typically ranging from £50 to £100 per visit.

Prices may vary depending on the region, with services in larger cities such as London tending to be more expensive. Always check with the clinic in advance for specific pricing.
