In its broadest sense, the practice of Podiatric Medicine also encompasses orthopedics, surgery and dermatology. The term is often used, however, to delineate those services which, do not usually involve orthopedic or surgical intervention. Although, surgery is available when indicated. In a general podiatric practice, these types of services are regularly provided.
Examples are:

Bacterial and fungal infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissues
Fungus infected toenails
Injections or oral medications for conditions of the nerves, ligaments, tendons or fascia
Injections or oral medicines for painful arthritic joints or strained ligaments
Debridement of foot ulcerations
Skin rashes and growths
Corns, calluses and abnormal toenails
Treatment of plantar warts (verruca)
Local manifestation of systemic disease (e.g. gout, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis)
Conservative and Surgical treatment of Bunions and Hammer toes.
Orthotics (custom made shoe inserts) as well as custom foot and ankle braces can be made to treat many common foot conditions.

Diagnostic laboratory tests or imaging may be performed to help establish a diagnosis, or monitor the course of a disease. Foot and ankle x-rays and diagnostic ultrasound available on premises. When necessary, referral is made to an appropriate medial specialist or physiotherapist.
