Podiatry
Take a step in the right direction
Podiatry is the medical field that focuses on your feet and ankles. Podiatrists, also called foot doctors, help treat problems like foot pain, injuries, and conditions such as ingrown toenails or bunions. They make sure your feet are healthy so you can walk and run without pain. Healthy feet are essential for everyday activities like walking, running, and standing.
Podiatrists also catch signs of other health issues, like diabetes or poor circulation, by examining your feet. Taking care of your feet helps you stay active and improves your overall well-being.
