Podiatry is a specialty focused on the investigation, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of foot health. It also deals with its repercussions on the human body. It is important to consult a podiatrist whenever you notice any pathological changes, so that you can prevent the condition from worsening and apply the most appropriate treatment.

Some of the pathologies that can be treated through podiatry are:

  • Dermatopodology (changes to the skin and nails);
  • Orthopedics (Silicone Orthotics and Plantar Orthotics/Personalized Insoles);
  • Biomechanics (static and dynamic study of the foot);
  • Children’s Podiatry (treating children’s feet);
  • Sports Podiatry (functional study of the sportsman’s foot);
  • Podiatry and foot at risk (diabetic foot; rheumatic foot);
  • Geriatric Podiatry (intervention in the feet of the elderly);
  • Preventive Podiatry (prevention in various areas: sports, Diabetes Mellitus, Rheumatism).
