Podiatry for Waldkirch

Why people from Waldkirch come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Many patients from Waldkirch 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.

Patients from Waldkirch often tell us they had spent a long time searching for a practice that could bill on the basis of a doctor's prescription. That is exactly the difference: podiatry is a prescribable medical treatment, cosmetic foot care is not.

How to find us: starting from Waldkirch via Kreisstraße GZ 3, a total of 24 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 Waldkirch 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 Waldkirch and the surrounding area come to us:

  • circulatory problems, rheumatism or neuropathy
  • pressure points caused by misalignments such as bunions or hammer toes
  • plantar warts on the sole of the foot
  • reduced mobility or eyesight, when caring for your own feet is no longer safe
  • burning or numb feet that disturb sleep at night
  • recurring blisters and pressure points from work or sports shoes
  • nail loss after an injury or bruising under the nail
  • dry, flaking skin with deep cracks on the heel

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Waldkirch

If your doctor has issued a prescription, we bill your health insurer directly. Patients from Waldkirch then only pay the statutory co-payment. Without a prescription, treatment is always available as a self-pay service at transparent prices.

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.
