The term Chiropody is an old-fashioned term which historically referred to the treatment of skin and nail conditions of the feet. Over the past 30 years the scope of practice of practitioners has expanded to include: Management of lower limb pains, gait analysis, nail surgery, diabetic foot heath as well as general foot care. In view of this extended more specialist remit, the profession has adopted the modern term Podiatry, which is recognised within healthcare around the developed world.
