Long version

Podiatry is a specialised branch of medicine that focusses on the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle disorders. Your feet and lower limbs are integral to maintaining optimal health and mobility. We want to celebrate that during this year’s Foot Health Week, which is from 22 to 28 April. Podiatrists undergo extensive training to address a wide range of foot-related issues, including structural abnormalities, injuries, infections, and chronic conditions like arthritis and diabetes. By providing preventive care, treatment interventions, and patient education, podiatrists help their patients to take proactive steps towards foot health and their overall health. Recognising the importance of foot health not only enhances quality of life but also promotes an active and independent life for everyone, from infants and young people to the elderly.
