Podiatric Medicine
Podiatric Medicine focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders and injuries related to the foot, ankle, and lower extremities. Podiatrists, also known as foot doctors, are medical professionals who specialize in the care of the feet and ankles, including conditions such as bunions, ingrown toenails, plantar fasciitis, and diabetic foot care. They may use medical, surgical, biomechanical, and physical therapy interventions to help patients maintain optimal foot health and mobility.
