Podiatry is a field in medical science that focuses on foot, ankles and lower extremity studies. It deals with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of medical and surgical conditions of the feet and lower extremity.
The medical specialist who diagnose and treats conditions affecting the foot, ankle and structures of the leg are called Doctor of Podiatric Medicine.
