What’s the difference between Podiatrists and Chiropodists?
Podiatry is the modern word for chiropody, so podiatrists are modern day chiropodists. Podistrists assess, diagnose and treat a variety of foot and lower leg conditions. These range from those that can be seen, such as corns, callous and ingrowing toe nails to problems deep within the foot such as plantar fasciitis, ‘dropped arches’ and heel pain.
