Chiropody vs Podiatry

What is the difference between a chiropodist and a podiatrist? Technically there is no difference. It is just that historically the profession who had a diploma in disorders of the foot was called a chiropodist. 

As the profession progressed, education was extended to include training to degree level. We then started calling ourselves podiatrists

Most people are unaware of the different treatments we are qualified to provide.
