(UK, Canada) A practitioner of chiropody.
- chiropodist64%
The British and Canadian professional title for a foot-care specialist — what Americans call a podiatrist. A chiropodist treats conditions of the feet, ankles, and lower limbs, including corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, and diabetic foot complications. While 'podiatrist' has become increasingly common in the UK, 'chiropodist' remains the traditional and still widely recognized term among older generations and in NHS contexts. The distinction is essentially regional vocabulary, not a difference in scope of practice.
