Chiropody/podiatry

Chiropody, commonly known as podiatry, is a branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the feet, ankles, and lower legs. Podiatrists are healthcare professionals who assess and manage various issues, including injuries, infections, nail disorders, and foot pain. They also provide care for chronic conditions like diabetes that can affect foot health. Treatment methods can include prescribing orthotics, performing surgery, and advising on skin and nail care. Ultimately, chiropody aims to improve mobility, relieve pain, and enhance the overall quality of life for patients.
