Practitioners frequently refer patients to Podiatrists if they feel their problem relates to poor biomechanical function of the foot. Podiatrists can prescribe a range of orthotic devices for shoes that can aid a patient’s recovery from a local foot problem or a foot issue that has consequences of knee, hip or low back pain.

 

In addition they are trained in surgical procedures such as nail removal or injection prescription for painful arthritic joints.
