Podiatry
 
The podiatric profession is a medical specialty that is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human foot disorders and sport injuries through medical and surgical means. The podiatrist may diagnose and treat foot problems, help care for the unique problems of the diabetic foot, perform surgery, prescribe and administer drugs, and mold, fit and dispense foot orthotics (orthopedic devices that fit around the foot or insert into the shoe to relieve pressure, chronic foot pain or help stabilize the bony structure or musculature of the foot.). Most podiatry services, other than routine foot care, are covered by insurance and Medicare and Medicaid.

Specialties Include:

• Any and all foot problems
