What is the difference between Chiropody and Podiatry?
In the UK, there is no real difference between the terms , chiropody / chiropodist and podiatry /podiatrist; chiropody is an older word which originates with Greek words for “hand” (chiro) and “foot” (pod). In 1993, The Society Of Chiropodists changed their name to incorporate the common use of the term, “Podiatry” and now operate as “Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists.”
Professional foot care dates back to ancient Egypt, 2400 BC where carvings depicting work on hands and feet were found in the entrance of Ankmahor’s tomb.
In 460 – c. 370 BC, the Greek physician, Hippocrates invented the first scalpels for the removal of hard skin, recognising the importance of reducing hard skin for the prevention of corns and calluses.
