What is the Primary Focus of Podiatry and its
Advantages to Athletes?
Medicine has many branches which primary goal is
for treatment in different types of diseases and
deformities of man and even in animals, as well.
But, there is a study that focuses on the
diagnosis and its medical treatment of different
kinds of disorders in the lower extremities
specifically the foot. This study has started
in the United States of America in the twentieth
century and has propagated in different states
and in Australia. Its primary concern is the
treatment of foot disorders such as, in the
ankles, toes and the legs. It includes the human
anatomy training, the physiology and in surgery,
as well. This study is called Podiatry. The
practitioners of the study have invested their
time, money and effort to be skilled and
efficient in the field of medical study. The
medical doctors are at large at the present times
because of the need of the kind of service to the
people especially the athletes now days. The
specialist is exposed to different kinds of
patients having various deformities and problems
in their lower extremities for many years as
their training in the field of service. The
podiatric physician or the Podiatrist has to
finish his studies and has enough practice and
exposure to patients with foot problem for many
years. Some of the patients having problems in
their foot have been under treatment to some
medical practitioner. However, there is a
specialist who will take care of them with the
right medical approach needed by the
patient. With the aid of medical sciences and
innovation on devices needed for the patient
especially if their foot problem needs to be
corrected with a special device as treatment.
Most patients who have been a victim of foot
deformities and diseases are athletes because of
the kind of practices that they are doing every
day in their lives. With just extreme application
of weight and pressure on the legs and foot, this
will cause deformities and problems in the
future. However, the study is now becoming at
large because of the complications that is going
through the patient especially when they have
complications in their health status such as,
people with diabetes, arthritis, heart problems,
vascular, neurological problems that complicates
to the foot problem of the patient and sometimes
causes a delay of the recovery of the main
problem of the foot. With the advanced studies
made by the Podiatric doctor, chances of recovery
of the patient maybe fast and that they can go
back to their normal life as athlete or even they
can go back working in the field just like
before. Different countries have various
approaches in foot problems with the practices
that they are applying to their patient. Some
patients are healed through a chiropractic
practices. Some needs podiatric physician for
their foot surgery in severe cases. With the
advancement of medical studies, there are devices
that were made for correction of foot problems in
the current age. With this medical approach,
patients foot problems can be corrected earlier
or in the early onset of the deformity and not
waiting that it will become severe in the future.
