About Chiropody

Chiropodists are primary healthcare providers that treat people of all ages and activity levels. A referral is not required to visit a Chiropodist. Chiropody is the assessment of the foot and the treatment and prevention of disease or disorders of the foot by therapeutic, surgical, orthotic, and palliative means.
