Podiatry for Buchenberg

Why people from Buchenberg come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

In Landkreis Oberallgäu you will find plenty of cosmetic foot care providers, but a podiatry practice with health insurance accreditation is rare. That difference decides who is even allowed to work on an affected foot: podiatry is a prescribable medical treatment, cosmetic foot care is not.

Between Buchenberg and Memmingen there is a well-developed connection via Kreisstraße OA 9. For patients travelling further, we schedule appointments so you are not left waiting in the waiting room because of a delay.

How to find us: starting from Buchenberg via Kreisstraße OA 9, a total of 36 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 Buchenberg 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.

What is the difference between podiatry and cosmetic foot care?

Podiatry is medical foot care provided by state-certified specialists and is a prescribable medical treatment. It is allowed to work on a diseased foot, for example in cases of diabetes, circulatory problems, nail fungus or ingrown nails. Cosmetic foot care is purely pampering for a healthy foot.

What does treatment cost without a prescription?

As a private or self-pay patient, the first appointment with a full assessment costs 75 euros, and the standard complex podiatric treatment starts at 69 euros from then on. You will find every price on our prices page.

Can I use the cryotherapy chamber alongside my foot care appointment?

Yes, the Memmingen cryotherapy chamber is at the same address on Kempterstrasse 25. Many patients from Buchenberg combine both, for example for rheumatism, chronic pain or inflammation.

Do you also come to my home in Buchenberg for foot care?

Yes. Alongside appointments at the practice, we offer mobile foot care as a home visit, including in Buchenberg. If you are no longer very mobile, are recovering at home after surgery, or receive care, you get the full podiatric treatment in your own living room, with the same equipment and hygiene standards as in the practice. You can find more on our mobile foot care page or by calling 089 15880714.
