What is Podiatry?
Podiatry is the treatment of the foot and lower limb and is derived from Greek 'pod' meaning feet, and 'iatros' meaning physician.
A podiatrist can be helpful in the postural alignment of the knee, hip and back. A podiatrist is the only medical specialist educated, trained, licensed, and certified for exclusive treatment of the foot and ankle. Podiatrists also play a critical role in the care, treatment and management of the diabetic, the older person and those with circulation impairment.

Chiropody is the maintenance of routine foot care.
Eileen is qualified to treat and manage any foot disorder you may have.
