What Is Podiatry? //

Podiatry is the medical specialty which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of foot-related disorders and conditions including sports injuries, diabetic complications, pediatric and geriatric foot problems, ingrown toenails, corns, bunions, and heel spurs. A podiatrist is fully trained in medicine and surgery to diagnose and treat your conditions. They are uniquely qualified among medical professionals with exceptional expertise and education. Dr. Steven J. Altman of the Foothills Podiatry Group is a highly qualified, board certified podiatrist. His office is located at 218 W. Main Street, Suite 103 in the historic Old Town Tustin district.

Supporting the entire weight of the human body, your feet are routinely subjected to constant physical punishment, but they are often never considered an integral part of the overall health picture. Proper foot care is just as essential to your total well-being as a healthy diet and regular exercise. Dr. Altman can counsel you on which podiatric treatments may be necessary and which would be most appropriate for your particular problem. Treatment modalities may include medication and traditional or laser surgery as well as orthotics, which are prescription corrective devices individually molded to the foot and worn inside the shoe. Specialized care for diabetic foot problems is also available.

If you have been referred to a podiatrist or have been neglecting your foot care, take time to consult with Dr. Steven J. Altman.
