Podiatry / Chiropody Eastbourne
What is a podiatrist or chiropodist?
A podiatrist or chiropodist is someone trained to diagnose and provide treatment for conditions of the lower limb, specifically on the feet.
Apart from the common issues like corns and callus or nail disorders, a number of disorders such as diabetes can affect your feet and there might also be a case of functional and or structural disorders that the podiatrist has the knowledge to help with.
Is there a difference between a podiatrist and a chiropodist?
Podiatrist and chiropodist are really the same profession and qualification. However…
“Chiropody” and “Chiropodist” are the older names for this foot-care profession. Although some might use also use these terms to talk about treating particular foot problems, such as hard skin or nail care.
Whereas “podiatry” and “podiatrist” are the more modern and international terms, and some use these terms to describe more advanced medical foot care, such as wound care or biomechanical or musculoskeletal (MSK) assessment.
