Here’s a closer look at what podiatrists do:
Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Care: Podiatrists provide comprehensive care for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including but not limited to bunions, heel pain, ingrown toenails, plantar fasciitis, and foot ulcers. They are skilled in managing both acute injuries and chronic conditions affecting the lower extremities.

Pediatric Foot Care: Children with foot problems, such as flat feet, toe walking, or in-toeing, can benefit from early intervention by a podiatrist. They assess and treat these conditions, ensuring proper foot development and function as the child grows.
Surgical Interventions: When necessary, podiatrists perform surgeries to correct foot and ankle problems. This can include procedures for hammertoes, bunion removal, and reconstruction of the foot and ankle due to deformities or injuries.
Custom Orthotics and Supportive Devices: They prescribe custom orthotics and other supportive devices to correct biomechanical issues, alleviate pain, and improve the function of the foot and ankle. These custom-fitted devices can make a significant difference in a patient’s mobility and comfort.
Preventive Foot Health Education: Podiatrists also provide valuable education on foot care practices, helping patients maintain healthy feet. This includes advice on proper footwear, foot hygiene, and strategies to prevent common foot ailments.
