Podiatry for Balzhausen

Why people from Balzhausen come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Many patients from Balzhausen come to us after a cosmetic treatment did not help. A diseased foot needs medical foot care: sterile instruments, a trained eye, and treatment that a GP can prescribe and follow.

Patients from Balzhausen often tell us they had spent a long time searching for a practice that could bill on the basis of a doctor's prescription. That is exactly the difference: podiatry is a prescribable medical treatment, cosmetic foot care is not.

How to find us: starting from Balzhausen via St 2025, a total of 28 kilometres to Kempterstrasse 25 in Memmingen. If you travel by public transport, the practice is only a few minutes from Memmingen train station.

If a doctor's prescription is available, we bill your health insurer directly and you only pay the statutory co-payment. Without a prescription you pay privately, which is always possible from Balzhausen too, with transparent prices you can check in advance.

The practice is run by Helga Maria Freitag, a state-certified podiatrist and, since March 2026, also a sectoral alternative practitioner for podiatry with almost 40 years of experience caring for people at home. This dual qualification means for you that findings are not just treated but properly assessed, and where necessary we refer you to the right specialist.

Reasons for treatment

When podiatric treatment makes sense

The most common reasons patients from Balzhausen and the surrounding area come to us:

  • thickened, discoloured nails or nails changed by fungus
  • foot care during chemotherapy or while taking blood thinners
  • burning or numb feet that disturb sleep at night
  • circulatory problems, rheumatism or neuropathy
  • ingrown or curled toenails that hurt with every step
  • dry, flaking skin with deep cracks on the heel
  • reduced mobility or eyesight, when caring for your own feet is no longer safe
  • diabetes mellitus with reduced sensation in the feet

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Balzhausen

If your doctor has issued a prescription, we bill your health insurer directly. Patients from Balzhausen then only pay the statutory co-payment. Without a prescription, treatment is always available as a self-pay service at transparent prices.

We work with a reduced risk of injury, check skin, nail folds and pressure points at every appointment, and report any concerns back to the referring practice without delay.

Hygiene

A sterile instrument set for every patient

With nail fungus in particular, thorough reprocessing is essential, as spores survive simple disinfection. That is why every instrument is cleaned, thermally disinfected and sterilised after each appointment before it is used again.

You can read more about our hygiene concept on the Hygiene page.
