Podiatry for Schelklingen

Why people from Schelklingen 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 Schelklingen this matters most when conditions such as diabetes, rheumatism or neuropathy are involved and every imprecise cut can have consequences.

A 49-minute drive is not something you would take for cosmetic pampering, but it makes sense for medical treatment. On an insensitive diabetic foot, the quality of the work decides whether a pressure point turns into a wound.

Route: via B 492 it is 43 kilometres to Memmingen. Access to the practice at Kempterstrasse 25 is step-free, and parking is available directly in front, which helps if walking already hurts.

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 Schelklingen 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.

Reasons for treatment

When podiatric treatment makes sense

The most common reasons patients from Schelklingen and the surrounding area come to us:

  • recurring blisters and pressure points from work or sports shoes
  • thickened, discoloured nails or nails changed by fungus
  • burning or numb feet that disturb sleep at night
  • ingrown or curled toenails that hurt with every step
  • reduced mobility or eyesight, when caring for your own feet is no longer safe
  • nail changes caused by psoriasis or rheumatism
  • plantar warts on the sole of the foot
  • pain under the forefoot from long periods of standing at work

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Schelklingen

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 Alb-Donau-Kreis prescribe complex podiatric treatment as a health insurance benefit, for patients from Schelklingen 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

We work on the principle of "one patient, one set": a sealed box of freshly sterilised instruments is opened for every treatment. Cleaning, disinfection, packaging and sterilisation are all logged and traceable.

You can read more about our hygiene concept on the Hygiene page.

Is mobile foot care available in Schelklingen if I cannot get to the practice?

Yes, we come to you. For patients from Schelklingen who cannot travel to Kempterstrasse because of care needs, limited mobility or a lack of transport, we treat you on site at home, in assisted living or in a care facility. We bring the instruments, suction equipment and sterile materials with us.
