The foundation of clinical podiatry. A comprehensive session where I examine nails, corns, calluses and the skin in pressure areas. No water, no cosmetics, using sterilised instruments.
Chiropody is the essential podiatric treatment: a comprehensive clinical session where I assess and treat whatever your feet need at that moment. Thickened or poorly cut nails, calluses in pressure points, hard skin that hurts when walking, helomas (corns), cracked heels, professional moisturising. All in a single visit, using sterilised instruments, without water or cosmetics.
It is important to understand that chiropody is not a pedicure. A pedicure is cosmetic and is carried out in beauty salons. Chiropody is a regulated healthcare procedure, performed by a registered podiatrist (No. 838 463 821 COPCV), where the aim is not visual but functional: that the foot does not hurt and that the nails are healthy.
In my practice, I see people who have avoided this care for years due to a lack of knowledge or because of pain. After a first, properly performed chiropody session, most return every 6–8 weeks with a feeling they describe as ‘walking again’.
There’s no need to wait until you have a major problem. If you recognise any of these situations, it’s time to book an appointment:
If you’re unsure whether your case is for a podiatrist or another professional, message me on WhatsApp with a photo and I’ll advise you with no obligation.

A properly performed chiropody treatment lasts 6 to 8 weeks for most patients. To prolong the results and reduce the frequency of your visits:

No. A pedicure is carried out in beauty salons and is a cosmetic procedure. Chiropody is a medical procedure performed by a registered chiropodist, without water, using sterilised instruments and based on clinical judgement. It’s what you need if your nails or skin are causing you pain, not if you simply want to have your nails painted.
No. A properly performed chiropody treatment is painless, even on very sensitive skin. If you have a particularly painful area, I’ll let you know before touching it and we’ll work carefully.
Most patients return every 6–8 weeks. For diabetics, pregnant women or people who have difficulty reaching their feet, I schedule appointments every 4 weeks. The frequency is tailored to your feet, not the other way round.
Yes, and it is highly recommended. Diabetic feet are one of the areas that benefit most from regular check-ups. I carry out a basic vascular and neurological examination at every visit and will let you know if I detect any changes.
We see patients at the Almenara Medical Centre, which is covered by private health insurers. Ask your insurer whether chiropody is included in your policy, or contact us directly and we’ll confirm it for you.
One session and you’ll walk differently.
