What is Chiropody?
Chiropodists are primary health care providers. We treat people of all ages and activity levels. A referral or previous diagnosis is not required to visit a Chiropodist. We offer general and preventative foot care for a wide range of foot conditions. We treat at all the levels of the foot, from surface skin infections to bone and joint pain. Your first visit will include a full history and foot exam which will allow us to develop a comprehensive management plan to meet your foot care needs. Chiropody services may be covered by your third party insurance, check with your plan administrator for more details.
