WHAT IS PODIATRY & WHEN SHOULD I SEE A PODIATRIST?

Podiatry (also known as chiropody) is the diagnosis and treatment by podiatrists of diseases and disorders of the feet.

 

Podiatrists are highly skilled health professionals who have been trained to prevent, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate abnormal conditions of the feet and lower limbs. They also prevent and correct deformity, keep people mobile and active, relieve pain and treat infections.

If your feet hurt, something is wrong. In this case, we recommend that you visit a podiatrist who will advise you on the best course of treatment. You can also prevent foot problems before they occur by visiting a local podiatrist for advice on how to keep your feet healthy and in top condition.
