What is Podiatry?

Podiatry is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating conditions of the foot, ankle, and lower extremities.

Podiatrists are experts in addressing foot pain, injuries, deformities, and conditions like arthritis, diabetes-related foot complications, and more. 

The health of your feet is critical to your mobility and overall well-being, and podiatrists play a key role in maintaining that health. They can provide non-surgical and surgical treatments to resolve problems and prevent future complications.

Who Needs Podiatry?

Podiatry is essential for anyone experiencing foot pain, discomfort, or injury and those with chronic conditions that affect foot health, such as diabetes. Many ignore foot-related issues until they worsen, but early treatment can prevent long-term damage. 

Whether dealing with a minor issue or a more serious condition, podiatry can help improve your quality of life. You may need podiatry services if you experience:

  • Persistent foot or ankle pain
  • Ingrown toenails or bunions
  • Heel pain or plantar fasciitis
  • Diabetic foot complications (e.g., ulcers, infections)
  • Foot or ankle injuries, including sprains and fractures
  • Corns, calluses, or warts
  • Arthritis or joint pain in the feet
  • Numbness or tingling in the feet
  • Difficulty walking or maintaining balance

What Conditions Are Treated with Podiatry?

Podiatry covers a wide range of conditions that affect the feet and lower extremities. Early intervention can help relieve pain, improve function, and prevent complications. At Southern Inyo Hospital, our podiatrists are equipped to diagnose and treat various foot and ankle issues, including: 

  • Foot deformities
  • Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Bunions and hammertoes
  • Diabetic foot ulcers and neuropathy
  • Flat feet or high arches
  • Corns, calluses, and warts
  • Ingrown toenails
  • Foot and ankle sprains or fractures
  • Athlete’s foot and fungal infections
  • Arthritis and joint pain

How Does Podiatry Work? 

Podiatry care begins with a thorough assessment of your foot health, including a review of your symptoms, medical history, and any underlying conditions that may impact your feet.

During your consultation, a podiatrist may perform diagnostic tests like X-rays, ultrasounds, or gait analysis to determine the cause of your foot issues. 

Treatment plans are personalized for each patient and may include non-invasive therapies such as custom orthotics, physical therapy, medications, or surgical interventions if necessary. Podiatrists also provide guidance on foot care, footwear, and preventive measures to help patients maintain healthy feet.
