The profession of podiatry has developed from its origins in chiropody to become a medical speciality dealing with assessment, diagnosis and treatment of the lower limb and foot.
If you are diabetic, have poor circulation or arthritis and you suffer from foot pain, calluses, corns or thickened toe nails, regular visits to the podiatrists are the best option. Not only will this keep your feet more comfortable, but it is the best way to prevent minor foot problems becoming worse.
Podiatrists work with people of all ages but have a particularly important role in helping older people stay mobile and therefore independent.
