Chiropody and podiatry in Kent from a qualified and trusted local specialist

You may be looking for chiropody and podiatry in Kent and wondering if there is a difference between the two services. In short, podiatry is the new name for chiropody. Both podiatrists and chiropodists are foot doctors who can offer treatment for a range of conditions, as well as advice on how to look after your feet to avoid long term problems.

What Help Can You Expect From Chiropody and Podiatry Services?

It goes without saying, our mobility relies on our feet being in good condition, so problems in that area should never be ignored. This is even more important for the young, who are still growing; the elderly, who become more vulnerable to conditions over time; and those with diagnosed conditions like diabetes and arthritis.

As noted above, chiropodists and podiatrists look after the general health of feet, whether that is offering treatment for an existing condition or preventing problems further down the line. Conditions a podiatrist such as Pantiles Podiatry might deal with range from the everyday, such as corns, calluses and verrucas, to more specialised services, including surgery for ingrown toenails and biomechanical analysis for correcting the gait. Here at our clinic, we also offer:

• Bunion care
• Cracked heel treatments
• Plantar fasciitis treatment
• Toenail treatments
• Diabetic foot care
• Footwear advice

In essence, if you are experiencing any discomfort in your feet or with walking generally, it is always worth having it checked out by a professional podiatrist.
