I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one offering sole treatment?' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'suspect hip doctor is' is the wordplay.
'suspect' indicates anagramming the letters (a suspicious or unusual spelling).
'hip'+'doctor'+'is'='hipdoctoris'
'hipdoctoris' with letters rearranged gives 'CHIROPODIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chiropodist that I've seen before include "Treater of feet" , "corn cutter" , "Foot-doctor" , "Treater of minor foot ailments" , "One who treats feet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
