What is the difference between Podiatry and Chiropody?

This is a question Podiatrists get asked all the time, and the answer is they are essentially the same thing.

The name Chiropodist is gradually being phased out in the UK because it is anatomically incorrect. The prefix ‘Chiro’ is actually Greek for hands!

The term Podiatry/Podiatrist replaced Chiropody/chiropodist back in the late 1980’s early 1990’s when the qualification was changed from a diploma course to the BSC (Hons) course of Podiatric medicine that is required today to practice as a podiatrist.

The original Diploma course would encompass the traditional role of corns, callus, toe nail and wound care normally associated with chiropody.

The inception of the BSC (Hons) course hailed the beginning of the profession entering new areas alongside its traditional role, such as Podiatric surgery, Musculoskeletal specialism, Prescription only medicine, Steroid injection, ultrasound imaging and much more.
