Podiatry for Elchingen
Why people from Elchingen come to a podiatrist in Memmingen
Many patients from Elchingen 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.
Elchingen is around 39 kilometres away. People who make this journey usually come with a specific need: a nail brace that actually fits, a well-made nail prosthesis, or documented treatment that their GP will accept.
Route: via A 7 it is 39 kilometres to Memmingen. Access to the practice at Kempterstrasse 25 is step-free, and parking is available directly in front, which helps if walking already hurts.
An appointment lasts 45 to 60 minutes. We work with sterile instruments; every set arrives freshly processed from its own sealed "one patient, one set" box. Patients travelling from Elchingen receive a short guide for care at home at the end of the session.
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 Elchingen and the surrounding area come to us:
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
- nail changes caused by psoriasis or rheumatism
- nail loss after an injury or bruising under the nail
- plantar warts on the sole of the foot

Diabetic foot
Prescription and insurance cover, even from Elchingen
Nerve damage removes the foot's early warning signal, pain. A small pressure point can then go unnoticed until it has already become a wound. That is why doctors in Landkreis Neu-Ulm prescribe complex podiatric treatment as a health insurance benefit, for patients from Elchingen just as much as from Memmingen itself.
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.

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.

How often should I come from Elchingen for treatment?
For unremarkable feet, appointments every eight to ten weeks are sufficient. For diabetes, nail brace therapy or heavy callus formation we recommend every four to six weeks. We arrange the next appointment right at the end of the current one.
Is mobile foot care available in Elchingen if I cannot get to the practice?
Yes, we come to you. For patients from Elchingen who cannot travel to Kempterstrasse because of care needs, limited mobility or a lack of transport, we treat you on site at home, in assisted living or in a care facility. We bring the instruments, suction equipment and sterile materials with us.
