Podiatry
Podiatry
Podiatry/Chiropody resides in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of health problems affecting the foot and lower limbs.
A podiatrist's main aim is to improve mobility, independence and quality of life for their patients.
Our lifestyles, footwear and how active we are all influence our risk of foot problems; your general health may adversely affect your feet. Some common examples are diabetes, arthritis, poor circulation, stroke and osteoporosis. In fact, your podiatrist may be the first to recognise a serious health problem by examining your feet. Foot pain has a multitude of causes; a podiatrist can assess your problem and treat it appropriately.
