What Podiatrists Do?
- Diagnosis and Assessment: Podiatrists conduct thorough physical examinations and use diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds, to accurately identify conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs. This enables them to develop effective treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
- Non-Surgical Treatments: Podiatrists offer a variety of non-surgical treatments, including custom orthotics, physical therapy, medication, and lifestyle advice, to manage conditions such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, and arthritis.
- Surgical Interventions: When necessary, podiatrists perform specialized surgeries to correct deformities, repair injuries, and address chronic conditions that cannot be managed through conservative treatments. These procedures include bunionectomy, hammertoe correction, and tendon repair.
- Wound Care: Podiatrists provide expert care for wounds, particularly in patients with diabetes who are at risk for foot ulcers. They use advanced techniques and dressings to promote healing and prevent complications.
- Preventive Care: Regular check-ups and preventive care are essential for maintaining foot health. Podiatrists offer advice on proper footwear, foot hygiene, and exercises to prevent common foot problems.
