Pediatric Sports Services in Walnut Creek and Brentwood, CA

Podiatrists are doctors who specialize in treating problems that affect the feet or lower legs. Podiatrists can treat injuries as well as complications from any ongoing health issues you may have, such as diabetes. You might hear them referred to as a podiatric physician or a doctor of podiatric medicine, whichever you hear they all mean the same thing.

While podiatrists do not attend a traditional medical school, they have their own specialized school and professional associations.

Podiatrists have the ability to do surgery, reset broken bones, prescribe medications as well as order lab tests or x-rays. Podiatrists work closely with other specialists when a problem affects your feet or lower legs.
