Podiatry for Lauterach

Why people from Lauterach come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Many patients from Lauterach come to us after a cosmetic treatment did not help. A diseased foot needs medical foot care: sterile instruments, a trained eye, and treatment that a GP can prescribe and follow.

A 44-minute drive is not something you would take for cosmetic pampering, but it makes sense for medical treatment. On an insensitive diabetic foot, the quality of the work decides whether a pressure point turns into a wound.

How to find us: starting from Lauterach via Kreisstraße AL 12, a total of 38 kilometres to Kempterstrasse 25 in Memmingen. If you travel by public transport, the practice is only a few minutes from Memmingen train station.

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 Lauterach 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.
