| | Podiatry/Podiatric Medicine is the treatment of Foot and Ankle disorders The average individual takes 5,000 to 18,000 steps per day. This low-grade but repetitive motion can place stress on the foot, legs, pelvis and spine predisposing to pain, deformity and loss of function. Podiatrists treat conditions of the foot and ankle ranging from conservative treatment of corns, calluses and veruccas through to more mechanical realignment with the use of orthotics and exercises to more radical surgical treatment (ie. ingrown toe nails).
