What Services Are Included in Traditional Podiatry Care?

Traditional Podiatry Care encompasses a variety of services aimed at diagnosing, treating and preventing foot and ankle conditions. Common services include routine foot examinations, nail care (such as trimming and treating ingrown toenails), and management of calluses and corns. Podiatrists also provide treatment for skin conditions like athlete's foot, warts, and fungal infections. For patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, traditional podiatry care includes regular monitoring and management of diabetic foot complications to prevent serious issues like ulcers and infections.

In addition to these routine services, traditional podiatry care often involves the treatment of structural problems like bunions, hammertoes, and flat feet. Podiatrists may use orthotic devices, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgical interventions to correct these issues and alleviate pain. They also provide guidance on proper footwear, foot hygiene, and lifestyle modifications to promote overall foot health and prevent future problems. Regular visits to a podiatrist for traditional care can help maintain healthy feet, prevent complications, and address any issues promptly.
