Podiatric medicine is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the human foot and ankle, and their governing and related structures, including the local manifestations of systemic conditions.

Fellows of the American College of Foot & Ankle Orthopedics & Medicine are board certified specialists in the biomechanical and medical aspects of contemporary podiatric practice. Common podiatric conditions include:

Injuries such as fractures, sprains, and torn ligaments.
Diseases to which the foot and ankle are particularly susceptible like arthritis and certain complications of diabetes.
Structural problems including flat feet, heel pain, bunions, hammertoes, and neuromas.
Nail and skin conditions such as ingrown toenails, fungal infections, hematomas, corns, calluses, warts, fungal infections, lesions, and ulcers.
Congenital conditions that often can be corrected with early diagnosis and treatment with prescription foot wear, orthotic devices, and physical therapy.
