Podiatry for Pleß

Why people from Pleß come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Between cosmetic foot care and podiatry lies a three-year professional training with a state examination. For people from Pleß this matters most when conditions such as diabetes, rheumatism or neuropathy are involved and every imprecise cut can have consequences.

Between Pleß and Memmingen lies a drive of around 30 minutes. The trip pays off above all for treatments that take time and skill: nail braces, nail reconstruction after nail loss, or silicone orthoses against pressure points.

How to find us: starting from Pleß via St 2015, a total of 26 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 Pleß 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions from Pleß

Wie weit ist es von Pleß nach Memmingen?

Will you bill my health insurer even though I live in Pleß?

Yes. Our health insurance accreditation applies nationwide, so your place of residence makes no difference. What matters is the doctor's prescription, for example for diabetic foot syndrome or neuropathy. In that case you only pay the statutory co-payment.

Do you also treat people who have difficulty walking?

Yes. The practice is accessible at ground level and parking is right outside. If you are driven by family members from Pleß, we schedule the appointment so there is no long wait.

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.

Do you offer home visits for patients from Pleß?

Yes. Home visits are a fixed part of our service, including in Pleß and the surrounding area. The process matches an appointment at the practice: assessment, nail and callus treatment, care for pressure points, and a final consultation for family members or carers. With a doctor's prescription we bill the home visit directly with your health insurer; self-pay patients incur a small travel fee.
