What is Podiatry?
Committed to the health of your feet, podiatric medicine focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing foot and ankle problems, such as plantar fasciitis. Your podiatric physician (podiatrist) is highly trained through years of study and clinical practice, including a bachelor's degree program and four years of podiatric medical school. In addition, podiatric physicians often have from one to three years of residency training to study foot care and surgery in greater depth. Once in practice, podiatric physicians continue to stay informed about the latest research and developments in the field.
In treating your feet, your podiatric physician may also work with your other health care providers to give you appropriate and comprehensive care.
