I have given up on chiropodists here and now go every two weeks to a good beauticians. CHEAPER and in my opinion are doing a better job. Hubby goes as well. You can even get you nails painted!! me not my hubby although I think a delicate shade of pink might suit him

I had a severe problem before moving out here and the surgeon wanted to remove half my heel tissue () but I have persevered here and problem now sorted!!

Once you persuade him to have the first he`ll be asking for more.....

Chiropodist don't exist here like UK, you need to find a beautician that does more than just a pedicure, beware there are "foot" doctors Clinica do Pé but their not a chiropodist or do pedicures and treat foot ailments rather than chiropody.

You might have more luck in the Algarve, a business opportunity for someone if they could get licensed.

Even in the UK I ended up goingto a beautician I could trust. The chiropodist caused more trouble than she cured!!!!

Unlucky but that's what I found here with the "foot" doctors, luckily I've got one here now, found her by asking in the pharmacy, best Portuguese translation I've found is PEDICURA QUIROPODISTA
