Podiatry for Westerheim (Alb)

Why people from Westerheim (Alb) come to a podiatrist in Memmingen

Many patients from Westerheim (Alb) 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.

Between Westerheim (Alb) and Memmingen there is a well-developed connection via B 466. For patients travelling further, we schedule appointments so you are not left waiting in the waiting room because of a delay.

How to find us: starting from Westerheim (Alb) via B 466, a total of 49 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 (Alb) 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 (Alb)

If your doctor has issued a prescription, we bill your health insurer directly. Patients from Westerheim (Alb) 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.

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 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 Westerheim (Alb), we schedule the appointment so there is no long wait.

Will you bill my health insurer even though I live in Westerheim (Alb)?

Yes. Our health insurance accreditation applies nationwide, so your place of residence makes no difference. What matters is the doctor's prescription, for example for diabetic foot syndrome or neuropathy. In that case you only pay the statutory co-payment.

Do you offer home visits for patients from Westerheim (Alb)?

Yes. Home visits are a fixed part of our service, including in Westerheim (Alb) 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.
