What is Podiatry?
Podiatry is the medical care of the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. It focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating conditions that affect how you stand, walk, and move. Foot biomechanics play a key role in overall health, as poor alignment can contribute to pain in the knees, hips, and back.
At our clinic, podiatry services are designed not only to treat current issues but also to prevent future injuries and improve everyday mobility.
