What Is Podiatry?
Podiatry is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower extremities. A podiatrist is a doctor trained to address various issues, from minor concerns such as corns and calluses to more complex conditions like fractures and diabetic foot complications. Proper foot health is essential for maintaining balance, mobility, and overall well-being, making podiatric care an integral part of your healthcare routine.
Conditions We Treat
Our podiatrists provide comprehensive care for a variety of foot and ankle conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain

Our team can make a treatment plan just for you, whether you’re an athlete who wants to improve your ability or a person suffering from severe foot pain.
Are Podiatrists Safe and Effective?
Podiatrists are doctors with a lot of training focusing on caring for feet and ankles. They treat your problem safely and effectively using methods that have been shown to work in the past. You can avoid the risks that come with self-treatment and over-the-counter medicines that might not get to the root of your pain if you see a qualified doctor.
Instead of masking the problem, podiatric care tries to find and fix the root cause, not just the symptoms. Through a thorough and individualized approach, our podiatrists work to restore function, ease pain, and prevent problems from happening in the future.
Podiatric Treatments We Offer
Our podiatry team offers a variety of treatments to address foot and ankle concerns, including:
- Custom orthotics and footwear recommendations
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Minimally invasive procedures
- Wound care for diabetic foot ulcers
- Cortisone injections for pain relief
- Surgical interventions when necessary
We aim to provide non-surgical treatment options whenever possible, helping patients recover with minimal downtime and discomfort.
What to Expect at Your Podiatry Appointment
When you come in for your first podiatry appointment, our doctors will perform a full exam to assess the health of your feet. This includes a thorough review of your medical history, a physical check, and, if necessary, diagnostic images. Based on what we learn about your issues and goals, we will create a treatment plan just for you.
Based on the patient’s situation, changes to their lifestyle, orthotics, physical therapy, or other treatments may be suggested. We promise to help you through every step of the process so that you can heal properly and keep your feet healthy in the long run.
