Chiropody consists of the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of pathologies affecting both the skin and nails of the feet. These conditions cover a broad spectrum, from simple calluses, fungal infections, and papillomas (warts) to more painful nail disorders such as ingrown or thickened nails.

This type of treatment is performed immediately, either without anesthesia or under local anesthesia when necessary, and typically provides immediate relief to the patient, while also helping to prevent future complications in both the short and long term.
