Podiatry is a branch of medicine devoted to the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower leg.
Within the field of podiatry, practitioners can focus on many different specialty areas, including surgery, sports medicine, biomechanics, geriatrics, paediatrics, orthopaedics, or primary care. Podiatrists diagnose and treat abnormalities of the lower limb.
They give professional advice on the prevention of foot problems and on proper care of the foot. Patients will be of all ages from infants to the elderly. Prevention is another area of their specialty. There are many different health issues that a podiatrist attends to.
They aim to correct any issues such as deformities if possible and prevent certain conditions from worsening or occurring as well as attempt to aid individuals in maintaining as normal an amount of functioning and mobility as possible.

Picking the right shoes for your feet
Podiatrists can advise about how to choose the right shoes for your feet.
People who spend long periods of time on their feet, or those with arthritis, may have special footwear needs.
A good shoe should have:
- a firm heel counter that fits snugly around the back of the foot to avoid slipping during walking
- sufficient depth and width at the toes. There should always be a short space between the tip of the longest toe and the end of the shoe
- an upper made from a natural material, such as leather, that allows the foot to 'breathe'
- a sole made from a material like rubber. This provides good shock absorption and is less slippery than leather.
Podiatrists can prescribe inserts for shoes
Podiatrists sometimes prescribe foot orthoses or orthotics.
These are specially designed shoe inserts that help support the feet and correct any imbalances. There are a variety of foot orthoses that may be recommended, such as a universal type arch insert that provides some foot support, or an insert that is custom-made for your feet. These inserts help:
- reduce forces on your feet
- enable your feet to work in the most stable and efficient position for activity
- reduce pain in the feet and in joints like the knees and hips.
