| Chiropody/Podiatry |
|
The term chiropody/chiropodist has been in use since the 18th century combining the Latin and Greek words for hand and foot. The title Podiatrist/ Podiatry was adopted in the USA in 1958 for all practitioners but not so in the UK. In 1993 the Society of Chiropodists added Podiatrists to there title and it is now used by most modern practitioners, it is expected the term chiropodist will fall from use eventually, however it is still causing confusion with the public.
In the McKerrow Practice the Podiatrists are all trained to degree level and we offer a range of treatments from routine care of callous, corns, ingrown toe nails and thickened toe nails to cryo therapy for verrucae, we also perform nail surgery and electro surgery (permanent removal of long standing corns or verrucae) where appropriate.
