Podiatry & Chiropody - not just nails!

Podiatrists are specialist practitioners engaged in the study, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the foot and ankle. The term podiatry came into use in the early 20th century in the United States and is now used worldwide, although in some English-speaking countries, the older title of chiropodist may be still be used.  It is important to realise that the level and scope of the practice of podiatry varies amongst countries, AND AMONGST PRACTITIONERS.
