WHAT IS PODIATRY?
Podiatry is a new field of medicine dealing with specialist foot care. The podiatrist examines, diagnoses and carries out specific treatments associated with pathological changes in the feet. He has knowledge of dermatology, orthopaedics, diabetes, angiology and anatomy. Combining this knowledge and practical skills, he acquires qualifications for foot care in people with diabetes, psoriasis, patients with ingrowing toenails and cracked heels. His awareness of occupational health and safety in the salon means that he can provide customers the best care.
