Podiatry for Wald

Why people from Wald come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Podiatry begins where cosmetic foot care has to stop. That is why patients from Wald do not receive a wellness treatment from us, but a professional assessment with a treatment plan, progress checks and written documentation.

Wald is around 42 kilometres away. People who make this journey usually come with a specific need: a nail brace that actually fits, a well-made nail prosthesis, or documented treatment that their GP will accept.

Getting here: B 12 / St 2014 connects Wald with Memmingen. For the 42 kilometres, allow 54 minutes to be safe, a little more during rush hour. Parking spaces are available right at the practice.

The first appointment begins with an assessment: skin, nails, circulation, sensitivity and foot posture are all documented. Only then does treatment start. For patients from Wald this means a slightly longer first session, but afterwards you know exactly where you stand.

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

  • ingrown or curled toenails that hurt with every step
  • painful corns, calluses and cracked heels (fissures)
  • circulatory problems, rheumatism or neuropathy
  • plantar warts on the sole of the foot
  • burning or numb feet that disturb sleep at night

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Wald

For people with diabetes from Wald, a regular check-up appointment is the most effective way to prevent an ulcer. We check sensitivity, circulation, nail folds and pressure zones, treat with minimal risk of injury, and report back to the prescribing practice.

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

After every treatment, each instrument set goes through a multi-stage reprocessing procedure ending in sterilisation in an autoclave. Only this way can we rule out germs, fungal spores or viruses passing from one foot to the next.

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

Frequently asked questions from Wald

Answers at a glance

Wie weit ist es von Wald nach Memmingen?

Die Strecke beträgt rund 42 Kilometer und führt über B 12 / St 2014. Rechnen Sie mit etwa 49 Minuten Fahrzeit, im Berufsverkehr etwas mehr.

Gibt es in Wald eine podologische Praxis mit Kassenzulassung?

In Wald selbst ist uns keine podologische Praxis mit Kassenzulassung bekannt. Kosmetische Fußpflege darf am erkrankten Fuß nicht arbeiten. Unsere Praxis in Memmingen erreichen Sie aus dem Landkreis Ostallgäu in etwa 49 Minuten.

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 Wald, 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.

What does treatment cost without a prescription?

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.

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

Yes, we come to you. For patients from Wald 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.
