Podiatry for Illertissen

Why people from Illertissen come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Between cosmetic foot care and podiatry lies a three-year professional training with a state examination. For people from Illertissen this matters most when conditions such as diabetes, rheumatism or neuropathy are involved and every imprecise cut can have consequences.

From Illertissen it is 20 kilometres via B 19. Patients usually travel this distance regularly when there is an ongoing diagnosis behind it: diabetes, rheumatism, neuropathy or recurring ingrown toenails.

Directions: from Illertissen, follow B 19 towards Memmingen. After around 20 kilometres you reach the city area; the practice is at Kempterstrasse 25 with parking spaces right next to the building. Allow about 23 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 Illertissen 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 Illertissen and the surrounding area come to us:

  • thickened, discoloured nails or nails changed by fungus
  • nail changes caused by psoriasis or rheumatism

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Illertissen

For diabetic foot syndrome, complex podiatric treatment is a prescribable medical treatment. Your GP or diabetologist in Illertissen or Landkreis Neu-Ulm 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.

Do you offer home visits for patients from Illertissen?

Yes. Home visits are a fixed part of our service, including in Illertissen and the surrounding area. The process matches an appointment at the practice: assessment, nail and callus treatment, care for pressure points, and a final consultation for family members or carers. With a doctor's prescription we bill the home visit directly with your health insurer; self-pay patients incur a small travel fee.
