Podiatry for Westerheim

Why people from Westerheim come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

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

Anyone travelling from Landkreis Unterallgäu tends to combine the appointment with other errands in Memmingen. That is why we prefer to schedule treatments for patients from Westerheim in the morning or late afternoon, outside the busiest traffic times on Kreisstraße MN 8.

How to find us: starting from Westerheim via Kreisstraße MN 8, a total of 17 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 Westerheim 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.

Diabetic foot

Prescription and insurance cover, even from Westerheim

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 Westerheim 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.

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.

Can I use the cryotherapy chamber alongside my foot care appointment?

Yes, the Memmingen cryotherapy chamber is at the same address on Kempterstrasse 25. Many patients from Westerheim combine both, for example for rheumatism, chronic pain or inflammation.

Do you also come to my home in Westerheim for foot care?

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