Podiatry is the word used to describe the branch of medicine concerned with the lower limb, particularly the foot and ankle.

Podiatrists are able to diagnose, treat and prevent foot problems using chemical physical, mechanical and surgical therapies.

State registered podiatrists have to complete a three or four year full time undergraduate course, which leads to a BSc (Honours) degree in podiatry.

They receive core medical training by studying anatomy , physiology , pharmacology, general medicine and microbiology. They then go on to more advanced and specialised training in the examination, diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the feet.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CHIROPODIST AND A PODIATRIST?

There is no difference. A podiatrist is the internationally recognized name for foot specialists.
