What is Podiatry?
Podiatry is the branch of medicine dedicated to the study, diagnosis, and medical and surgical treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower extremity. Podiatrists are trained to handle a variety of conditions that can affect these parts of the body, ranging from common ailments such as calluses and ingrown toenails, to more complex issues like fractures, infections, and conditions related to diabetes and vascular disease.
