conditions - Feet/Ankles

Podiatry is the treatment of the foot and lower limb and is derived from Greek 'pod' meaning feet, and 'iatros' meaning physician.

A podiatrist can be helpful in the postural alignment of the knee, hip and back. A podiatrist is the only medical specialist educated, trained, licensed, and certified for exclusive treatment of the foot and ankle. Podiatrists also play a critical role in the care, treatment and management of the diabetic, the older person and those with circulation impairment. Chiropody is the maintenance of routine foot care.
