What Is a Podiatrist? Understanding Foot and Ankle Care

Many people only think about their feet when something starts to hurt. However, our feet support our bodies every day, helping us stand, walk, exercise and carry out our daily activities.

A podiatrist is a healthcare professional who specialises in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions affecting the feet and related structures of the lower limbs, within their professional scope of practice.

What can a podiatrist help with?

• Corns, calluses and cracked heels.
• Ingrown toenails and nail problems.
• Fungal nail infections and athlete’s foot.
• Foot, heel and ankle pain.
• Plantar fasciitis and other musculoskeletal conditions.
• Foot assessments for people living with diabetes.
• Orthotics and footwear advice.
• Children’s foot assessments and walking concerns.
• Gait and walking assessments.
• Plantar wart management.

When should you visit a podiatrist?

You should consider consulting a podiatrist if you experience persistent foot pain, discomfort when walking, recurring corns or calluses, changes in your toenails or difficulty finding comfortable footwear.

People living with diabetes or conditions affecting circulation or sensation may also benefit from regular professional foot assessments.

You do not need to wait until a problem becomes painful before seeking advice. Early assessment may help identify concerns and guide appropriate care.

Your feet deserve professional care

At WS Podiatry, our approach focuses on individual attention, patient education and personalised foot care. We aim to help you feel comfortable asking questions and understanding the options available for your foot health.
