What is Podiatry?
Podiatry (Chiropody) is a health profession which deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders relating to the feet and lower limbs.
Podiatrists treat people with a range of foot conditions, in all age groups from the very young to the elderly. Podiatrists perform general maintenance of the feet, as well as treating foot pain, injuries and recurring problems associated with walking and sports.
Podiatrists also care for the feet of people with conditions that put them at high risk of developing lower limb complications, such as those with diabetes, neurological disorders and poor circulation. To see some of the common conditions treated, please see Treatments.
