Podiatrists are healthcare professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders of the foot and lower leg.

Podiatry is a branch of medicine dedicated to the study, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and lower leg. The term "podiatry" emerged in the early 20th century in the United States.
