Podiatry for Sontheim

Why people from Sontheim come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Many patients from Sontheim 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.

The short distance of 15 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 Sontheim who rely on family members for a lift, that is often the deciding factor.

How to find us: starting from Sontheim via B 18, a total of 15 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 Sontheim 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 Sontheim and the surrounding area come to us:

  • painful corns, calluses and cracked heels (fissures)
  • plantar warts on the sole of the foot
  • nail loss after an injury or bruising under the nail
  • nail changes caused by psoriasis or rheumatism
  • diabetes mellitus with reduced sensation in the feet
  • reduced mobility or eyesight, when caring for your own feet is no longer safe
  • dry, flaking skin with deep cracks on the heel
  • ingrown or curled toenails that hurt with every step

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Sontheim

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 Unterallgäu prescribe complex podiatric treatment as a health insurance benefit, for patients from Sontheim 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.

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

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 Sontheim, 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 also come to my home in Sontheim for foot care?

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