License Description Podiatrists diagnose diseases and disorders of the feet by using X-rays or pathological tests. To treat diseases and disorders, they perform surgery; fit corrective devices; and prescribe drugs, physical therapy, and proper shoes. Common conditions treated include corns, bunions, calluses, deformed toes, and arch disabilities. They refer patients to physicians when they detect medical disorders affecting parts of the body other than the feet. Podiatrists may specialize in surgery, orthopedics (bone, muscle and joint disorders), podopediatrics (foot ailments of children), and podogeriatrics (foot ailments of the elderly).
