Chiropodists deal with foot problems: They remove corns, treat and correct in-grown nails, make pressure-relief and protection bandages. Always they ascertain the cause of the ailments: does the client wear adequate shoes for his foot? Do flat-feet or fallen arches cause the pains or pressure spots? Chiropodists show their clients how they can counter their ailments. They also take casts for custom-made inlays and advise when selling products for treating the foot, health shoes and other means of orthopedic support. Chiropodists know the limits of their competence and
are keenly awate of their responsibility when it is necessary to refer their client to a medical specialist.
