About podiatrist / chiropodist services
This is not salon work: diabetic foot care, ingrown toenails, verrucae and biomechanical problems all belong here. NHS podiatry is available for high-risk patients, particularly people with diabetes, and a private appointment is worth having for nail surgery or orthotics rather than a nail bar.
