What is podiatry?

Podiatry is a branch of medicine dedicated to treating disorders of the foot, ankle, and structures of your leg. At Orthopedic Foot & Ankle, Dr. Samant provides cutting-edge tools and advanced technology to give you relief for any foot condition causing discomfort and loss of mobility.

Not only can she treat injuries, but she also has the expertise to offer ongoing treatment for your feet if you have health issues, such as diabetes.

What conditions does podiatry treat?

Podiatrists treat problems with your foot and lower leg, such as:

Fractures
Skin and nail diseases
Ingrown toenails
Arthritis
Congenital deformities
Tumors, ulcers, and cysts
Corns and calluses
Heel spurs

How can podiatry help me?

Your feet serve as shock absorbers every time you put weight on them. If you experience persistent pain in your feet, ankles, or both, your podiatrist can treat your issue.

Also, if you want to prepare for a physical activity that requires extra stress on your legs and feet, your podiatrist can examine the current condition of your feet, provide education on how to support them, and even treat any issues using steroid injections or surgery.

When should I schedule a podiatry appointment?

See your podiatrist if you experience any of the following:

Foot pain
Heel pain
Thick or discolored toenails
Growths
Cracks in your skin
Peeling on your soles

During your evaluation, Dr. Samant learns about your medical history, finds out what medications you’re taking, and learns about any previous surgeries. She also checks your feet’s range of motion, how your shoes fit, and closely examines your feet for issues.
