Podiatrists diagnose and treat a wide variety of diseases and disorders of the feet. A patient may be referred to a podiatrist for medical treatment or surgery if they suffer from conditions that affect the feet, such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, foot malformations, calluses, corns, bunions, hammer toes, ulcers and wounds, arch support problems, foot or ankle trauma, or running injuries including heel pain, Achilles tendonitis and tarsal tunnel syndrome.
They also take impressions of the feet to make orthotic devices to treat specific foot or walking problems.
