Podiatry for Waal
Why people from Waal come to a podiatrist in Memmingen
Podiatry begins where cosmetic foot care has to stop. That is why patients from Waal do not receive a wellness treatment from us, but a professional assessment with a treatment plan, progress checks and written documentation.
For the longer journey from Landkreis Ostallgäu we deliberately plan generous treatment windows. Assessment, treatment, care and planning of the next steps should all be completed in a single appointment, so you do not need to drive via B 12 a second time.
How to find us: starting from Waal via B 12, a total of 42 kilometres to Kempterstrasse 25 in Memmingen. If you travel by public transport, the practice is only a few minutes from Memmingen train station.
An appointment lasts 45 to 60 minutes. We work with sterile instruments; every set arrives freshly processed from its own sealed "one patient, one set" box. Patients travelling from Waal receive a short guide for care at home at the end of the session.
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 Waal
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 Ostallgäu prescribe complex podiatric treatment as a health insurance benefit, for patients from Waal 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 Waal?

As a private or self-pay patient, the first appointment with a full assessment costs 75 euros, and the standard complex podiatric treatment starts at 69 euros from then on. You will find every price on our prices page.
How often should I come from Waal for treatment?
For unremarkable feet, appointments every eight to ten weeks are sufficient. For diabetes, nail brace therapy or heavy callus formation we recommend every four to six weeks. We arrange the next appointment right at the end of the current one.
Do you offer home visits for patients from Waal?
Yes. Home visits are a fixed part of our service, including in Waal 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.
