What is general podiatry?

Podiatry is the branch of healthcare devoted to the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower extremity. Podiatrists can treat injuries as well as complications from ongoing health issues like diabetes.

What is podiatric surgery?

Podiatric surgery is a specialty of podiatry dedicated to the surgical treatment of foot, ankle, and lower extremity pathology. Podiatric Surgeons treat advanced or complex conditions that can’t be managed using conservative methods. Podiatric Surgeons are specialist surgeons registered and regulated by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.
