What Is The Difference Between Podiatrist And Chiropodist?

Have you ever experienced foot pain and did a quick search like "Chiropodist near me"? You must have encountered another original term "Podiatrist" when skimming through the search results. Before we dig deep into what a chiropodist can do for a foot problem, let us clear this uncertainty about these two terms.

Is there a difference between a Podiatrist or Chiropodist?

Podiatrist and Chiropodist are interchangeable terms, and there is no technical difference between them.

Chiropodist and Chiropody are outmoded terms and were replaced by Podiatrist and Podiatry in the early 20th Century. The name is now extensively used in America, UK, Australia and other parts of the world. In recent times there is no difference between the qualification of a podiatrist and Chiropodist. Both are equally qualified and specialists in treating foot problems of diverse natures. Next time you're doing a search for Chiropodist near me and the terms Podiatrist appear, do not get doubtful as go ahead with the one you consider the best.

A chiropodist can be found everywhere in the United Kingdom. If you're looking for a Chiropodist Little Chalfont, Amersham, Chesham or Beaconsfield, Bucks foot clinic is a reputable clinic, offering its services in these areas.

What is Podiatry/ Chiropody?

Podiatry or Chiropody is a category of medicine that is focused on diagnosing and treating the ailments of the foot, ankles and the lower limbs. These professionals are educated and trained to provide medical as well as surgical treatments to people suffering from various types of foot problems including bunions, corns, fungus, ingrown toenails, athletes foot and many other ailments.

A Brief History of Chiropody:

Chiropody is an ancient science and has its roots in ancient Egypt. Modern-day Chiropody known as Podiatry developed when a society of Chiropodists was founded in New York in 1985. The society is still operating under a new name as the terms were updated in 1993. Now it is known as NYSPMA-New York State Podiatric Medical Association. A school was inaugurated in the year 1911. A society was founded in the London Foot hospital in 1912. A few years later in 1919, a school opened for people interested in making a career as Chiropodists.

Why was the term Chiropody changed to Podiatry?

If you are wondering why the term was changed suddenly? Although when both of them mean the same, there were two fundamental reasons.

In the mid 19th Century another branch of medicine, Chiropractic was making its space in the medicine world and often the term Chiropody was confused with Chiropractic. To get rid of this confusion, Chiropodist societies in the USA and UK decided to change the name to Podiatry.

A podiatrist is a blend of two Greek words Pod & Iatros, which means foot and healing, respectively. On the other hand, Chiropody is made of two words, Chiro meaning hand and Pod meaning foot. When compared, Podiatry more accurately describes the profession, and it was also a primary reason to update the term.

What are some common conditions a Podiatrist can treat?

A trained podiatrist or Chiropodist can diagnose and propose a treatment plan for various kinds of problem-related to the foot, ankle and lower limb. Some common conditions they treat include.

Verrucas/ Warts

Ingrown Nails.

Bunions.

Gouts

My Healthcare Clinic: Committed to Caring

Dr Akash Patel The award-winning MyHealthcare clinic near the Broadway provides high quality, affordable and accessible medical and dentistry treatment ‘We opened the first MyHealthcare Clinic in Wandsworth in 2014 and the second here in Fulham in 2018,’ says Dr Akash Patel. ‘Our philosophy has always been the same: to use state-of-the-art technology to provide the best private medical and dentistry care within a flexible appointment structure and at transparent, affordable prices. Also, we wanted to bring back the “traditional” friendly GP approach that enables patients to get to know their doctor or dentist.’ Akash is the Medical Director of the family-run business, which was named Best Private Healthcare Clinic in London at the 2019 Private Healthcare Awards. ‘Our prime focus is on the core GP and dentistry services that people need on a regular basis. We have seven experienced GPs and two practice nurses and my colleague Dr Theo Sioutis leads a team of eight dentists and three hygienists who cover all procedures from children’s dentistry and orthodontics to mouth reconstruction with implants.

Dr Theo Sioutis ‘On the GP side we offer general consultations, baby immunisations such as chicken pox which aren’t available on the NHS, health screening, travel vaccines and blood tests. If specific advice or treatment is required, we have in-house consultants in disciplines from dermatology and gynaecology to paediatrics and psychology. These specialists take regular appointments here and they are part of the MyHealthcare family.’ Akash trained at Imperial College, worked as a junior doctor at St Mary’s, Paddington and practiced as a GP in Brook Green. He is a firm believer in nurturing the doctor-patient relationship. ‘That’s why our appointments are for 20 minutes – that gives us time to understand each case. Patients know that they can always see me – they won’t have to start from scratch every time – and they have my contact details and are welcome to ask followup questions. That applies to every practitioner. ‘When it comes to appointments, we save enough slots in a day to accommodate patients who want to see someone there and then. We are open seven days a week (from 8am Monday to Friday and 10am Saturday and Sunday) with late evenings until 8pm Monday to Wednesday. It’s all about convenience.’ A key element of the MyHealthcare ethos is a commitment to providing medical care at a fair price. Hence, in addition to pay-as-you-need treatments, the company has developed an unrivalled variety of excellent value membership plans for GP and/or dental services and for individual, family and corporate patients. In particular, great emphasis is placed on looking after families: for example, if two adults take a combined membership for GP and dentistry, two children are entitled to free care up to the age of 18. ‘If there’s one phrase that sums up what we do, it is continuity of care,’ adds Akash. ‘We like to create a bond with each patient and that allows us to talk to them informally. Often those discussions can make all the difference in how we choose to care for our patients.’ New patient offer: Book a GP appointment for £45 (usual cost £75 Monday to Friday and £85 at weekends) or a dental appointment for £25 (usual cost £75). My Healthcare Clinic also offers: * Paediatrics * Gynaecology * Dermatology * Podiatry * Psychology * Mother and baby care (fertility testing, pregnancy scans, antenatal and post-natal care, immunisations and infant feeding) * Travel clinic * Diagnostics (blood tests, ultrasound, genetic testing, dental x-ray, iTero and CT) * Occupational Health * Sexual Health Clinic * Dental hygiene and cleaning * Orthodontics (including Invisalign) * Dental implants * Cosmetic dentistry My Healthcare Clinic 15 Vanston Place, Fulham SW6 1AY +442072824340 [email protected] https://myhealthcareclinic.com/ https://www.facebook.com/myHealthCareClinic/ https://twitter.com/hashtag/myhealthcareclinic https://www.instagram.com/mhcclinic/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/myhealthcare-clinic-ltd/about/
