  • Chiropody/podiatry is a gentle form of treatment. Although involving the use of some fearsome-looking instruments, such as nail-nippers and scalpels, it is, in fact, pain-free and very comforting.
  • What is the difference between a chiropodist and a podiatrist? Absolutely none. Podiatrist is simply the modern term for chiropodist. However, in order to use either of these titles the practitioner must be fully-qualified and registered with the Health Professions Council.This is a requirement for reinbursment of most private health shemes, such as BHSF, Health Shield, Healthsure, HSA and Medicash.
  • So what exactly is chiropody/podiatry? It is the palliative treatment of the feet, such as the removal of corns, callouses and ingrowing toe-nails. Other treatments include the reduction of thickened toe-nails; diagnosis & treatment of fungal infections and viral infections such as verrucae (warts). Treatments are also available for conditions such as fallen arches, heel pain and hammer toes by exercises and/or the fitting of custom-made orthotics, often alleviating the need for invasive surgery. Where surgery, or any other form of medical treatment is considered necessary, a referral to either to the GP or a specialist would be made.
  • The chiropodist/podiatrist is often the first person to recognise conditions such as diabetes and circulatory disorders and is fully qualified to treat the feet of patients with these conditions. As a diabetic, it is essential to have the feet thoroughly examined and treated on a regular basis. Chiropodists/Podiatrists are also trained to recognise skin disorders and to recommend a referral to a dermatologist if necessary.
  • The surgery at Wells Green is bright, clean and relaxing. Upon arrival a warm and soothing foot-spa is offered whilst a full medical history is taken. Most treatments end with either a soothing massage or comfort padding. The majority of patients depart saying they feel like they are “walking on air”.
  • The cost of an initial half-hour treatment is £27. If a further appointment is necessary the charge would be advised after the first treatment. The cost of orthotics, including biomechanical assessment would be advised at the time of treatment.
  • Toe Nail Trimming Service: If you find it difficult to cut your own toe nails, there is a nail-trimming service available from £20 (including foot spa and massage).
  • Normal waiting time for an appointment is a day to a week.
  • Parking for up to 3 vehicles is available directly in front of the surgery entrance.
  • Bus services from both Crewe & Nantwich run every 15 minutes with the stops just a minute or so walk from the surgery.

  • Patients are protected by Full public liability insurance cover.
