Podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower leg.
Podiatrists have expertise in orthopedics, radiography, sports medicine, dermatology, and surgery. Some conditions that podiatrists treat are ankle injuries, bunions, calluses, neuromas, running injuries, and toe deformities. Podiatrists also contribute significantly to the areas of diabetic foot care, arthritic foot care, and wound healing.
