MAINLY podiatrists!: Podiatrists are specifically trained in the medical and surgical treatment of foot and ankle diseases. If you have a foot injury, then by all means see a podiatrist and get it treated properly. It may be determined that there is no need for interventional treatment, but it's best to find out for sure.
