Podiatry for Erkheim

Why people from Erkheim come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Many patients from Erkheim 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.

Many patients from Erkheim come in early in the morning before work, or straight after a doctor's appointment in Memmingen. The practice is on Kempterstrasse with parking right outside the door, so no extra travel time is needed.

How to find us: starting from Erkheim via B 18, a total of 14 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 Erkheim 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.

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Erkheim

If your doctor has issued a prescription, we bill your health insurer directly. Patients from Erkheim 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.

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 Erkheim combine both, for example for rheumatism, chronic pain or inflammation.

Is mobile foot care available in Erkheim if I cannot get to the practice?

Yes, we come to you. For patients from Erkheim 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.
