Understanding the Role of a Chiropod in Foot Health Care
A chiropod (also known as a podiatrist) is a healthcare professional who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the feet and ankles. Chiropods are trained to treat a wide range of conditions, including bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciitis, ingrown toenails, and foot injuries. They may also provide advice on footwear and orthotics to help prevent foot problems. In some countries, chiropods may also be referred to as podiatrists or foot specialists.
