Podiatry for Legau

Why people from Legau come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Many patients from Legau 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.

Patients from Legau often tell us they had spent a long time searching for a practice that could bill on the basis of a doctor's prescription. That is exactly the difference: podiatry is a prescribable medical treatment, cosmetic foot care is not.

Directions: from Legau, follow St 2009 towards Memmingen. After around 16 kilometres you reach the city area; the practice is at Kempterstrasse 25 with parking spaces right next to the building. Allow about 18 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 Legau 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 Legau and the surrounding area come to us:

  • pressure points caused by misalignments such as bunions or hammer toes
  • reduced mobility or eyesight, when caring for your own feet is no longer safe
  • recurring blisters and pressure points from work or sports shoes
  • dry, flaking skin with deep cracks on the heel
  • pain under the forefoot from long periods of standing at work
  • ingrown or curled toenails that hurt with every step
  • painful corns, calluses and cracked heels (fissures)
  • circulatory problems, rheumatism or neuropathy

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Legau

For diabetic foot syndrome, complex podiatric treatment is a prescribable medical treatment. Your GP or diabetologist in Legau or Landkreis Unterallgäu 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.
