Podology

Podology is a specialized branch of healthcare focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of foot and lower limb conditions. It involves assessing issues such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, and fungal infections, often addressing pain, deformities, and mobility concerns. Practitioners, known as podologists or podiatrists, use clinical techniques, custom orthotics, and appropriate therapies to improve foot health and overall mobility. This field aims to enhance quality of life by maintaining healthy feet, preventing complications, and managing existing conditions effectively.
