A podiatrist is a specialist in the care of feet and ankles.
They treat everything from common concerns like ingrown toenails or calluses to more complex conditions like diabetic foot care, which needs specialized attention to prevent complications.
The podiatrist examines your feet, how you walk, and, if you have diabetes, sensation and circulation in your feet.
Depending on your case, they may recommend imaging or lab tests to complete the diagnosis.
Based on the result, they'll explain treatment, which may include in-office care, insoles, medication, or, if needed, a minor procedure.
