Podiatry is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions related to the foot, ankle, and lower leg. Podiatrists  are specialized healthcare professionals who treat issues like bunions, ingrown toenails, heel pain, and complications from diabetes. They provide non-invasive care, orthotics, and, for trained specialists, surgical interventions. 

Key Aspects of Podiatry:

• Role: Podiatrists assess, diagnose, and treat injuries, infections, and structural problems in the lower limbs.
• Conditions Treated: Common conditions include arthritis, plantar fasciitis, corns, calluses, fungal nails, and sports injuries.
• Specialized Care: They are critical in managing high-risk foot conditions caused by systemic diseases like diabetes, helping to prevent ulcers and amputation.
• Treatments: Services include, but are not limited to, routine nail care, prescribing custom orthotics (shoe inserts), performing minor surgeries, and wound care.
• Qualifications: In the US, a podiatrist is a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) who has completed a 3-year residency program. 
  

When to See a Podiatrist:

• Persistent pain in the feet or ankles.
• Changes in toenails or skin on the feet.
• Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations (especially with diabetes).
• Difficulty walking or mobility issues.
