Frequently Ask Questions
What is the difference between a chiropodist and a podiatrist?
In Ireland—and in many other parts of the world—the terms chiropodist and podiatrist are often used interchangeably. Both refer to healthcare professionals who specialise in diagnosing and treating conditions of the feet and lower limbs. However, the term podiatrist is now more commonly used and reflects the modern, university-level training that practitioners receive today.
At Waldron Podiatry, our team are fully qualified podiatrists, meaning we are trained to assess and manage a wide range of issues, from minor skin and nail complaints to more complex biomechanical conditions. This includes:
Common foot conditions like corns, calluses, and fungal infections
Foot pain, heel pain, and plantar fasciitis
Custom orthotics to correct alignment and support function
Diabetic foot care and wound prevention
While “chiropodist” was the more familiar term in the past, “podiatrist” represents the current professional title and encompasses a broader, more advanced scope of practice. No matter which term you use, you can rest assured that you’re in expert hands with our qualified team.
If you’re experiencing any foot-related issues or simply want advice on maintaining healthy feet, we invite you to book an appointment with our Dublin clinic today.

Do chiropodists treat toenail fungus?
Yes, chiropodists (or podiatrists) are fully trained to assess and treat toenail fungal infections, also known as onychomycosis. At Waldron Podiatry, our team uses up-to-date diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatments to help restore your nail health and prevent the infection from spreading.
Toenail fungus is a common condition that typically causes the nail to become discoloured, thickened, brittle, or crumbly. If left untreated, it can worsen over time and even lead to pain or secondary infections—particularly for individuals with diabetes or compromised immunity.
We offer tailored treatment options based on the severity of your condition, including:
Professional debridement (trimming and thinning of infected nails)
Topical antifungal applications
Advice on hygiene and prevention
Referral for oral medication if necessary
Fungal nail infections are often linked with other common foot issues like athlete’s foot, poor footwear, or excessive moisture. Our podiatrists can help address these contributing factors and recommend long-term prevention strategies.
If you’re unsure whether your nail problem is fungal or not, we recommend visiting our Common Foot Conditions page or contacting us directly. In many cases, a professional podiatric assessment can catch infections early and prevent the need for more invasive treatment later.
Is it worth seeing a chiropodist?
Yes — seeing a chiropodist (or podiatrist) is absolutely worth it, especially if you’re experiencing any kind of discomfort, pain, or concern with your feet, ankles, or lower limbs. At Waldron Podiatry, our expert team is trained to identify and treat a wide range of foot-related problems, from everyday issues like corns and calluses to more complex biomechanical conditions.
Your feet carry you every day, and even small problems can impact your comfort, mobility, or performance. A chiropodist can help with:
Preventing minor issues from becoming major ones
Managing long-term conditions like diabetes-related foot problems
Relieving persistent pain in the heels, arches, or toes
Correcting foot posture and gait with custom orthotics
Many patients also see a chiropodist for aesthetic and hygiene reasons. Conditions like fungal nail infections or ingrown toenails can be safely treated in a clinical setting, reducing the risk of further infection. If you’re dealing with nail problems, check out our Ingrown Toenail Treatment page for more information.
In short, early intervention by a chiropodist can save you time, discomfort, and money in the long run. Whether you’re an athlete, someone on your feet all day, or simply looking for a professional opinion, a visit to Waldron Podiatry is a smart step toward long-term foot health.
