How we can help you.

What is a Musculoskeletal Specialist podiatrist?

Musculoskeletal (MSK) podiatry is concerned with the preservation, restoration and development of foot function and associated structures. The term Musculoskeletal denotes the relationship of the muscles and skeleton, and a specialist will look at how how problems with these structures can contribute to injury and pain.

An MSK specialist podiatrist will use their knowledge of foot and lower limb function to treat lower limb injury, and pain which is affecting your daily life and goals. The specialist has a range of skills and approaches to aiding your recovery and allowing you to reach your goals. From video gait analysis, in depth MSK/neurodynamic examination, orthotics, footwear advice and tailored strength and conditioning programmes, your specific injuries will be addressed in the best way possible for you.

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.
