Podiatry for Giengen an der Brenz

Why people from Giengen an der Brenz come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Anyone in Giengen an der Brenz searching for medical foot care quickly comes across cosmetic care studios. For diabetes, circulatory problems, nail fungus or ingrown toenails, however, you need a state-certified podiatrist who is qualified to assess, treat and document the condition.

For the longer journey from Landkreis Heidenheim we deliberately plan generous treatment windows. Assessment, treatment, care and planning of the next steps should all be completed in a single appointment, so you do not need to drive via B 19 a second time.

Route: via B 19 it is 48 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.

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 Giengen an der Brenz 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.

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.
