What is the difference between Chiropody and podiadtry ?
A. None. The name was changed to podiatry in 1993 as it’s the international recognised name for a foot specialist and also as it’s slightly more appropriate; ‘podiatry’ refers just to feet while ‘chiropody’ refers to both feet and hands. It is not just the name that has changed though. Podiatry is a constantly evolving profession, the extensive training given to students over the 3 or 4 years of their full time course and the continuing education after graduation enable Podiatrists to treat a vast array of foot and lower limb problems.
