Podiatry for Lauben

Why people from Lauben 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.

In Lauben and the surrounding villages you will find cosmetic foot care studios, but no podiatry practice with statutory health insurance accreditation. The route via B 18 takes around 7 minutes, which is a very manageable distance for treatment that is allowed to work on an already affected foot.

Route: via B 18 it is 6 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 Lauben 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.

Reasons for treatment

When podiatric treatment makes sense

The most common reasons patients from Lauben and the surrounding area come to us:

  • painful corns, calluses and cracked heels (fissures)
  • recurring blisters and pressure points from work or sports shoes
  • thickened, discoloured nails or nails changed by fungus
  • 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

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Lauben

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