  1. Conditions that are treated by a podiatrist or podiatric physician Specialist podiatric surgeons treat patients of all ages for a variety of foot problems, including: Factures and sprain: Fractures and sprains are common injuries. Podiatric surgery treats these frequent injuries to the foot and ankle daily. They also work in sports medicine, treating players' foot ailments and advising them on how to avoid them. Bunions and Hammertoes: These are issues with your feet' bones. As a result of the bunion, the toe bends toward the other toes. Hammertoes is the toe is bent at the middle joint, like a hammer in this position. Nail disorders: A fungus infection in your nail or an ingrown toenail are examples of these problems. When a corner or side of a nail grows into your toe instead of straight out, you have this condition. Arthritis: Inflammation, swelling, and wear, and strain on your joints cause this. There are 33 joints in each foot. A podiatrist may offer physical therapy, medicines, or inserts to help with your arthritis. If alternate therapies fail to help, surgery may be an option. Growing Pains: A podiatrist may be able to help if your child's feet point inward or appear flat, or if their toes don't line up properly. Exercises, insoles, or braces may be suggested. Alternatively, they may advise surgery. Heel Pain: Heel spurs, a calcium deposit at the bottom of the heel bone, are a major cause of heel pain. Plantar fasciitis is a condition in which the connective tissue band that runs around the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed. Overpronation,

Achilles tendinitis, which causes pain at the back of your heel where this tendon attaches, can also afflict sportsmen. Over-the-counter pain relievers are frequently used, and shoe inserts known as orthotics may also be used. Some folks will require surgery.
