What Is A Podiatrist?

A podiatrist is a medical specialist dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of all conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and lower limb. From common concerns like heel pain and ingrown toenails to complex issues such as fractures, deformities, and diabetic foot complications, podiatrists provide comprehensive care for patients of all ages. As trained foot and ankle surgeons , podiatrists are qualified to perform both conservative treatments and advanced surgical procedures to restore function, relieve pain, and improve mobility. In addition, all of our podiatrists are wound care specialists for the lower extremity, offering advanced, comprehensive care for chronic and complex wounds. Whether you're dealing with a sports injury, a chronic condition, or need corrective surgery, a podiatrist is your trusted expert in total foot, ankle, and lower limb health.
