Podiatry for Merklingen
Why people from Merklingen come to a podiatrist in Memmingen
Many patients from Merklingen 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 Merklingen often come to us on the recommendation of their GP or a diabetes outpatient clinic. Every treatment is documented so that findings and progress remain traceable for the doctors who continue their care.
Directions: from Merklingen, follow A 8 towards Memmingen. After around 47 kilometres you reach the city area; the practice is at Kempterstrasse 25 with parking spaces right next to the building. Allow about 54 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 Merklingen 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.

Diabetic foot
Prescription and insurance cover, even from Merklingen
For diabetic foot syndrome, complex podiatric treatment is a prescribable medical treatment. Your GP or diabetologist in Merklingen or Landkreis Alb-Donau-Kreis 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.

What is the difference between podiatry and cosmetic foot care?
Podiatry is medical foot care provided by state-certified specialists and is a prescribable medical treatment. It is allowed to work on a diseased foot, for example in cases of diabetes, circulatory problems, nail fungus or ingrown nails. Cosmetic foot care is purely pampering for a healthy foot.
What does treatment cost without a prescription?
As a private or self-pay patient, the first appointment with a full assessment costs 75 euros, and the standard complex podiatric treatment starts at 69 euros from then on. You will find every price on our prices page.
Do you also come to my home in Merklingen for foot care?
Yes. Alongside appointments at the practice, we offer mobile foot care as a home visit, including in Merklingen. If you are no longer very mobile, are recovering at home after surgery, or receive care, you get the full podiatric treatment in your own living room, with the same equipment and hygiene standards as in the practice. You can find more on our mobile foot care page or by calling 089 15880714.
