Routine podiatry, still often called chiropody, keeps your feet healthy and comfortable. At our Cardiff city-centre clinic, an HCPC-registered podiatrist treats corns, hard skin and problem nails, checks your overall foot health and gives you advice to look after your feet between visits. Our appointments are up to 30 minutes, so there is time to deal with everything properly.

Routine podiatry is everyday foot care from a qualified professional: treating the skin and nail problems that are hard to manage yourself, along with a check of your general foot health.
Podiatry and chiropody mean the same thing. Chiropody is the older name, and many people still look for a chiropodist. Anyone practising as a podiatrist or chiropodist in the UK must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
Routine podiatry is not only for older patients. We see people of all ages, from children with problem nails to people who spend long days on their feet at work.
It is worth booking an appointment if hard skin or corns are becoming painful, if your nails are thick, discoloured or difficult to cut, or if a nail is starting to dig in. Regular care is especially important if you have diabetes or poor circulation.
Many patients come back regularly, as ongoing treatment stops corns and hard skin building up again. We will suggest how often to visit based on your feet.
Every appointment is up to 30 minutes, where many clinics offer 20, so you have extra treatment time with your podiatrist.
If you prefer to book over the phone, please call 02920 644900. Please be aware deposits are taken at the time of booking.
