Podiatrists are foot specialists whose expertise is in the field of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of foot disorders. By consulting a podiatrist you are showing a strong commitment to maximising you foot health and future mobility. Podiatrists undergo additional extensive advanced university training in the medical treatment of the foot and associated structures. As specialists, they devote their time energy and skill to helping people who suffer from foot disorders.
Your feet are vital to your independence, overall health, mobility and an important aspect of your general health care. Why should your feet be different! Any foot condition should first be discussed with your podiatrist, We are an integral part of your healthcare team. They are professional individuals who have trained and specialise in the treatment of foot conditions and associated biomechanical dysfunction. Are all Podiatrists the same?
Look for the letters S.R.Ch. M.Ch.S. or B.Sc. following your Podiatrist's name. B.Sc. is an extra qualification. Only State Registered chiropodists/podiatrists may work within the N.H.S. and have undertaken and passed a 3/4 year degree level course at a recognised university. [Any other qualification has probably been undertaken by correspondence or part time attendance.] Only after this full time university study can they obtain State Registration and membership of the Society Of Chiropodists and Podiatrists and operate, but within strict guide lines. Please phone or email to discuss if you have any queries regarding the above. You naturally assume your dentist and doctor are qualified why not your podiatrist! Powered by Create |
