Palm Coast Podiatry

Information may not be reliable

Podiatry is the health profession that deals with the examination, diagnosis and treatment of conditions and functions of the human foot by medical and surgical methods.

Because many diseases are often first observed by symptoms in the feet, a podiatrist is frequently called upon to point out such disorders as diabetes mellitus, arthritis and circulatory problems. With increasing numbers of people taking part in exercise, sports medicine is now a big part of podiatry.

Podiatric training requirements are similar to those for medical school. Podiatrists complete a basic college curriculum before entering a four-year college of podiatric medicine. Science courses in the first two years focus on the anatomy and physiology of the lower extremity; the last two years focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of foot, ankle, and related disorders. Most podiatrists go on to post-graduate residencies.
