A podiatrist specializes in treating conditions that affect the feet
or ankles. Podiatry can include medical and surgical forms of
treatment depending on the nature of the condition. Conditions
commonly treated by a podiatrist include
- corns,
- callouses,
- bunions,
- nail problems,
- flat feet,
- arch pain,
- heel pain,
- fractures,
- skin problems,
- "athlete's foot,"
- sports related injuries.
Many people with diabetes have foot, ankle, and lower leg problems, as
well as others with circulation problems. Podiatrists at Jefferson
Regional Medical Center can help these patients develop a plan to take
care of their feet and ankles. A podiatrist also sees patients through
our Wound Care
Center.
