What is Chiropody?
State registered chiropodists are the foot-health professionals. They have undertaken a three-year
full time course. They can treat many conditions, for example:
- rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
- peripheral vascular disease
- diabetes mellitus
- in-growing toenails
- rams horn nails
- backache and walking difficulties
- verrucae
- corns and bunions
- hammer toes
More advanced procedures undertaken include total and partial nail avulsions, biochemical
assessment and the supply of orthotics. Since the 1970's state registered chiropodists have
been allowed to administer local anaesthetics.
