chiropodist:
(also called ‘podiatrist’; plural: ‘chiropodists‘; pronunciation: the letters ‘chi’ rhyme with the letters ‘ki’ in “kick” or “kiss”, and less commonly, the letters ‘chi’ rhyme with the letters ‘shi’ in “ship”)
a qualified person who gives professional care and treatment to people’s feet, treating such simple complaints as corns;
a foot doctor,
a chiropodist at work
A chiropodist not only gives treatment for the leg and foot but also advises people of all ages on how to take care of their legs and feet.
A chiropodist treating children’s foot problems must be very patient as these toddlers cannot explain their problem clearly.
Chiropodists are mostly needed by sports persons and dancers who use their legs and feet more than anybody else.
