Podiatrists are doctors who specialize in preventing, diagnosing and treating foot- and ankle-related pain and disorders both medically and surgically. All podiatrists provide a vast range of foot health care from general care to treating infections, nail and skin disorders, sports injuries, fractures and bone deformities. Podiatrists also treat problems related to diabetes, arthritis, neurological disorders, and circulation, as well as structural imbalances causing back and knee pain. Many B.C. podiatrists are also experienced foot surgeons licensed by the British Columbia Association of Podiatrists to surgically correct bone deformities soft-tissue lesions, as well as disorders, diseases and injuries.
