Podiatry is a medical specialty focused on caring for the feet, ankles, and lower legs. Doctors in this field are called podiatrists (DPMs). They have special training and certifications to treat these areas.
Podiatrists must pass several exams and are trained to provide both surgical and non-surgical treatments. They can diagnose and treat problems with the skin, muscles, tissues, and bones in the lower leg.
Our goal is to help you heal as quickly as possible and get the best long-term results. We use advanced medical treatments and rehabilitation techniques to support your recovery.
You should see a podiatrist if you have pain in your lower leg, foot, or ankle that makes it hard to do your normal daily activities. You may want to contact a podiatrist if you have:
- Pain in your foot or ankle
- A condition that may require foot surgery
- possible fracture (broken bone), sprain, or strain
- A foot problem related to diabetes
- A bunion, ingrown toenail, or bothersome callus
If you are dealing with foot or ankle pain or an injury, a skilled Saint Alphonsus podiatrist can diagnose the problem, provide treatment, and help you recover.
