A podiatrist is a medical professional who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions related to the feet, ankles, and lower extremities. Also known as doctors of podiatric medicine (DPM), podiatrists undergo specific education and training to address a wide range of foot and ankle issues.
Podiatrists are trained to treat both acute and chronic foot and ankle conditions, ranging from common problems like ingrown toenails and fungal infections to more complex issues such as fractures, sprains, and deformities. They may also provide care for conditions related to systemic diseases like diabetes, which can have significant effects on foot health.
The scope of practice for podiatrists includes:
It's important to note that podiatrists work closely with other healthcare professionals, including orthopedic surgeons, primary care physicians, and physical therapists, to ensure comprehensive and coordinated care for patients with foot and ankle issues. Regular foot check-ups with a podiatrist can be especially important for individuals with diabetes or other conditions that may impact foot health.
