Your Questions, Answered
What’s the difference between a Podiatrist (Chiropodist) and Foot Health Practitioner?
Foot Health Practitioners are healthcare professionals who have been trained to provide routine foot care services, and offer expert advice on foot hygiene, maintenance and preventing issues – whereas Podiatrists can treat more complex issues of the hip down, including biomechanics, nail surgery and others on the list above. Our team work together closely, and when needed our Foot Health Practitioners can refer you to our Podiatry service. If in doubt about the service you should book for, please contact us.
What happens on your first visit?
Full details of your medical history, treatment history and current/previous conditions will be taken at your first visit. Podiatrists and Foot Health Practitioners are bound by a strict code of ethics, so any details which you disclose will be kept in the strictest confidence.
How many visits will I need?
Treatment is based on the individual needs of each patient, therefore advice will be given at the first appointment. Many patients enjoy regular visits in order to maintain foot health and prevent problems.
Remember, your feet must carry you for a lifetime. Take care of them today by booking Podiatry in Hackney.
