What is Podiatry?
Podiatry is a crucial field of allied health that centres around the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower limbs.

Podiatrists work with patients of all ages, from children to the elderly, and provide care for individuals with a wide range of medical conditions, such as diabetes, sports injuries, and arthritis. They play an important role in helping people maintain their mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. By providing tailored care, advice, and treatment, podiatrists can help prevent further complications and improve the overall health and well-being of their patients.
