Podiatry/Chiropody

Ibrahim Albarraqi BSc(Hons), MRCPod, HCPC Registered Podiatrist

Podiatry (also known as chiropody) is the diagnosis and treatment by podiatrists (chiropodists) of diseases and other disorders of the feet. Podiatrists are highly skilled health professionals who have been trained to prevent, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate abnormal conditions of the feet and lower limbs. They also prevent and correct deformity, keep people mobile and active, relieve pain and treat infections.

Podiatrists work to improve the mobility, independence and the quality of life for their patients by providing preventative care, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of problems affecting the feet, ankles and lower limbs.

"Would recommend to anyone!"

As a social scientist I was very cynical about what I thought were unproven chiropractic methods. Now I regard them as essential in my life. I would recommend the practice to anyone.

"I positively skipped out, pain free!"

I shuffled into Andrew’s Cardiff Chiropractic clinic barely able to move without pain and after a thorough consultation and treatment process, I positively skipped out, pain free and competed in a European championship event just two days later – Genius!!

"Cannot thank you enough!"

Prior to seeing Andrew I suffered from neck pain, back ache, pins and needles in my fingers, headaches and limited head movement, since my visits all these symptoms have disappeared thanks to Andrew I now feel like a new person. A massive thank you for sorting me out.

Andy is a true professional in health care. His approach is insightful and he works with total integrity. His treatments are definitely worth the 180 mile round trip!!! Thank you to Andy and his team at the Clinic.

"Would thoroughly recommend"

Andy very quickly established the cause of my problems and within a few sessions I was back to normal. In fact I felt a lot fitter and had regained full mobility. I would thoroughly recommend Andy to anyone in the same situation!
