Our Chiropodists

 The practice of chiropody is the assessment of the foot and the treatment and prevention of diseases, disorders or dysfunctions of the foot by therapeutic, orthotic or palliative means. As trained medical professionals, chiropodists are able to prescribe custom foot orthotics, provide routine foot care, and perform soft tissue procedures. See our services for a complete list of conditions a chiropodist can assist with.
