Crikey more confused now than before!!!!
I think a chiropodist is more for getting corns out, really hard skin off, dealing with ingrown toenails etc... deeper problems with the feet. A pedicure is much gentler, same as a manicure, perhaps with exfoliator and cream, old varnish off, new varnish on. In fact a chiropodist doesn't have a tray with nail varnishes on, he is probably more on the surgical side...
