A member asked:
Is orthopedics the same as podiatrist? can i get the same kind of service for my foot (bone/heel alignment)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either: You should see a podiatrist if you have foot or ankle problems. Both podiatrists and orthopedists take care of problems dealing with the bones. The difference between the two is that the orthopedic surgeon treats all the bones of the human body and the podiatrist specializes in the bones of the foot and ankle.
