What is the difference between a podiatrist and a chiropodist?

This is a common source of confusion, but simply put, chiropodists and podiatrists are both foot doctors. The term Chiropodist is usually considered the “old term” for Podiatrist.

What personal information is stored with Acorn Sports Podiatry?

I have a problem with my online registration and booking appointment. How can I get help?

Please call us on 02921 999 300.

How often should I see a podiatrist?

Treat your feet as you do your teeth, a yearly check-up is healthy, but if you have pain then seek treatment. A frightening number of people think foot pain is normal! It isn’t! If your feet hurt, seek advice.

Can I receive treatment if I also see an NHS podiatrist?

Yes. Many of our patients receive treatment on the NHS and see us in between appointments.

Can I get a chiropodist/podiatrist to visit my home?

Yes, we offer home visits at a convenient time to yourself. To arrange a home visit please get in touch.

I hate showing anyone my feet, what shall I do?

We have seen many different types of feet over the year and yours will not be the worst we have seen. We work with complete confidence and total confidentiality so there is no need to worry about showing us your feet.
