Podiatry for Lachen

Why people from Lachen come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Podiatry begins where cosmetic foot care has to stop. That is why patients from Lachen do not receive a wellness treatment from us, but a professional assessment with a treatment plan, progress checks and written documentation.

With 9 kilometres to travel, we often see several people from the same household in Lachen on the same day, for example a couple with back-to-back appointments. That saves a second trip and makes aftercare at home much simpler.

Route: via Kreisstraße MN 3 it is 9 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 Lachen 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 Lachen and the surrounding area come to us:

  • 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
  • painful corns, calluses and cracked heels (fissures)
  • pain under the forefoot from long periods of standing at work
  • recurring blisters and pressure points from work or sports shoes

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Lachen

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

Frequently asked questions from Lachen

Answers at a glance

Wie weit ist es von Lachen nach Memmingen?

Die Strecke beträgt etwa 9 Kilometer und ist über die Kreisstraße MN 3 in rund 10 Minuten zu bewältigen. Je nach Verkehrslage kann die Fahrzeit leicht variieren.

Gibt es eine gute Anbindung nach Memmingen ohne Auto?

Von Lachen aus bestehen je nach Lage Bus- oder Bahnverbindungen in Richtung Memmingen. Die Fahrzeit mit dem PKW über die Kreisstraße MN 3 liegt bei etwa 10 Minuten.

How often should I come from Lachen 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 there a podiatrist with health insurance accreditation in Lachen?

We are not aware of any podiatry practice with statutory health insurance accreditation in Lachen itself. Cosmetic foot care is not permitted to work on an already affected foot; that requires a state-certified podiatrist. Our practice in Memmingen is around 10 minutes away from Lachen.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring your doctor's prescription if you have one, a list of your medications, and your diabetes passport if you have diabetes. If you wear insoles or orthopaedic shoes, please bring those along as well.

Do you offer home visits for patients from Lachen?

Yes. Home visits are a fixed part of our service, including in Lachen 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.
