Podiatry for Ettringen

Why people from Ettringen come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

In Landkreis Unterallgäu 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 Ettringen and Memmingen lies a drive of around 29 minutes. The trip pays off above all for treatments that take time and skill: nail braces, nail reconstruction after nail loss, or silicone orthoses against pressure points.

Directions: from Ettringen, follow B 16 towards Memmingen. After around 25 kilometres you reach the city area; the practice is at Kempterstrasse 25 with parking spaces right next to the building. Allow about 29 minutes of pure driving time.

After treatment we discuss the right rhythm: eight to ten weeks is usually enough for unremarkable feet, while diabetes or an active nail brace calls for four to six weeks. The next appointment is booked straight away, so the trip from Ettringen stays easy to plan.

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 Ettringen and the surrounding area come to us:

  • burning or numb feet that disturb sleep at night
  • ingrown or curled toenails that hurt with every step
  • reduced mobility or eyesight, when caring for your own feet is no longer safe
  • nail changes caused by psoriasis or rheumatism
  • plantar warts on the sole of the foot
  • pain under the forefoot from long periods of standing at work
  • pressure points caused by misalignments such as bunions or hammer toes
  • foot care during chemotherapy or while taking blood thinners

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Ettringen

For diabetic foot syndrome, complex podiatric treatment is a prescribable medical treatment. Your GP or diabetologist in Ettringen or Landkreis Unterallgäu issues the prescription, and we handle treatment and documentation. You only pay the statutory co-payment, since our health insurance accreditation applies nationwide.

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

For us, hygiene is a process, not a promise. Our reprocessing follows the recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute; burrs and instruments are machine-cleaned, disinfected, packaged and sterilised in an autoclave after every treatment.

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