Alternative Therapy

Chiropodists find their skills in demand by nursing homes, home care services, and free standing clinics. As a chiropodist, you will work with all age groups and with all types of people.

This course will train you in all the non-surgical therapeutic aspects of chiropody from treatment of nail and skin conditions to treatment of common foot ailments. With this course, you can study at your own pace and gain sufficient skills and insight  in what it would take to open your own practice once you have obtained a practicum. This course will also provide you with a firm foundation to help you decide if you wish to pursue studies in surgical chiropody.
