Podiatry for Osterberg

Why people from Osterberg come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

In Landkreis Neu-Ulm 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.

From Osterberg it is 18 kilometres via Illertalstraße. Patients usually travel this distance regularly when there is an ongoing diagnosis behind it: diabetes, rheumatism, neuropathy or recurring ingrown toenails.

How to find us: starting from Osterberg via Illertalstraße, a total of 18 kilometres to Kempterstrasse 25 in Memmingen. If you travel by public transport, the practice is only a few minutes from Memmingen train station.

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 Osterberg 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.

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Osterberg

Nerve damage removes the foot's early warning signal, pain. A small pressure point can then go unnoticed until it has already become a wound. That is why doctors in Landkreis Neu-Ulm prescribe complex podiatric treatment as a health insurance benefit, for patients from Osterberg just as much as from Memmingen itself.

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.

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.

Yes. Alongside appointments at the practice, we offer mobile foot care as a home visit, including in Osterberg. 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.
