Podiatrists (also called chiropodists) help patients reduce or eliminate foot pain, gain mobility, and maintain healthy feet. They treat sports injuries, common foot conditions such as corns, warts, ingrown toenails or calluses, foot infections caused by medical conditions such as diabetes, and foot deformities and misalignments. Podiatrists are also experts in the management of foot problems. They are concerned with the examination, diagnosis, and prevention of foot disorders by mechanical, surgical, and other means of treatment. [NOC 3123]
