YES! the Foot Doctor

does more then just feet.

Also known as a podiatrist, a highly trained specialist who treats issues that pertain to the leg, ankle and foot. At some point in their lifetimes, most Americans will experience foot pain, which can be the result of a wide range of injuries and conditions, from improper footwear, to traumatic injuries or chronic inflammation. As we get older , certain issues arise that may need the attention of a good foot doctor to deal with things such as diabetes foot problems.
The foot is a complex structure, containing 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, and 19 muscles. Due to its unique anatomy, the foot is susceptible to a wide range of injuries and conditions, and can be the source of significant, often debilitating, pain. When issues arise pertaining to the ankle or foot, it's a good idea to see a doctor that is familiar with the specific needs of treating the foot.
A podiatrist is a medical specialist that has specific training.  With their extensive knowledge of the whole human body, you can be confident that their diagnoses and treatments will take your existing medical conditions into account and won’t conflict with any other treatment you’re receiving. Some conditions treated by a foot doctor are bunions, gaglions and plantar faciitis.
