Could you give me reasons on how podiatrist/chiropodist help people in the society?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Podiatrist: Chiropodist is a term than has not been used in the us for over 50 years. We do a great deal of good helping patients with a myriad of foot and ankle problems whether they be surgical or non surgical means. We have significant training and we are an integral part of wound care teams as well as the medical community.
