Podiatric Interventions

The Role of your Podiatrist

The role of the podiatrist is to maintain the health of your feet and assess the etiology causing changes in the skin, such as corns and calluses. When appropriate, he will undertake an examination, after which he will be able to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Active Prevention Methods

Corns and calluses are sometimes the result of a major problem. As a precaution, the podiatrists performs a dermatological, neurological, or biomechanical evaluation. They can also undertake additional exams, like x-rays and an assessment of the patient’s gait. The data derived from these evaluations allow him to measure the health of your feet and give a precise thorough diagnosis.

Diabetic Foot Complications

To maintain their state of health, it is highly recommended that diabetics consult a podiatrist. The risks of corns and calluses for a diabetic can lead to amputation of the feet if severe complications occur.
