What is Chiropody?
Chiropody (also known as podiatry) is the specialised healthcare profession focused on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of foot and lower limb conditions. Our chiropodist helps prevent, relieve, and manage a wide range of foot problems — from everyday
discomfort to more persistent issues — so you can stay active, comfortable, and on your feet.
At Bodyfix Clinic in Stoneleigh, Epsom, our qualified chiropodist provides gentle, thorough care in a relaxed clinic setting. We start with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle, followed by a careful examination of your feet (including skin, nails and circulation.
