What is Podiatry
Podiatry is a branch of medicine focused on the health of the feet, ankles, and lower extremities. Podiatrists are medical professionals who diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions affecting these areas. Common podiatric conditions include:
Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot, causing heel pain.
Bunions: A bony bump on the joint at the base of the big toe.
Heel Spurs: Calcium deposits causing a bony protrusion on the underside of the heel bone.
Ingrown Toenails: A condition where the toenail grows into the skin, causing pain and sometimes infection.
Athlete’s Foot: A fungal infection that causes itching, burning, and cracked skin between the toes.
Diabetic Foot Care: Specialized care for feet affected by diabetes, which can lead to serious complications if not managed properly.
