FAQs
There is no significant difference between a chiropodist & a podiatrist.
There are many potential causes of foot problems which include:
- Standing on your feet for prolonged periods
- Aging
- Injury or trauma
- Overuse
- Extra body weight (greater loading due to an increase in body mass)
- Wearing shoes that don't fit properly
- Other conditions such as Diabetes or Arthritis
You should consider seeing a podiatrist if you have foot, ankle, or lower limb issues.
“I always went home with a bandage on my left foot and usually felt my treatment. But I did not have any pain at all from you! I am following your advice exactly as you suggested and have had not trouble at all.”
