Podiatry for Salgen

Why people from Salgen come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Anyone in Salgen searching for medical foot care quickly comes across cosmetic care studios. For diabetes, circulatory problems, nail fungus or ingrown toenails, however, you need a state-certified podiatrist who is qualified to assess, treat and document the condition.

The short distance of 12 kilometres makes regular treatment easy to fit into everyday life: appointment, treatment and drive home take about ninety minutes in total. For older patients from Salgen who rely on family members for a lift, that is often the deciding factor.

Directions: from Salgen, follow St 2013 towards Memmingen. After around 12 kilometres you reach the city area; the practice is at Kempterstrasse 25 with parking spaces right next to the building. Allow about 14 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 Salgen 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 Salgen

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