Dr. Mark S. Davis Footcare Services    Podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower leg. A podiatrist holds a doctor of podiatric medicine (D.P.M.) degree, which is a 4-year degree received from one of seven podiatric medical schools in the United States. These schools offer courses similar to the ones given at medical schools, where graduates earn M.D.s to become medical doctors. Podiatrists need to have expertise in orthopedics, radiography, sports medicine, dermatology, and surgery. Some of the conditions that podiatrists treat are ankle injuries, bunions, calluses, neuromas,heel pain conditions, toenail infections, warts, running injuries, and toe deformities. They are often the first health professionals to diagnose vascular problems that have previously gone unrecognized. Podiatrists also contribute significantly to the areas of diabetic foot care and wound healing. Individual states regulate on what parts of the body a podiatrist can work. All states allow podiatrists to work on the foot. Most states allow them to work on the ankle and mid-calf. Some states allow podiatrists to work on the entire leg.
