In Thailand the term podiatrist refers to allied health professionals who specialize in the
treatment of the lower extremity, particularly the foot. Podiatrists in Thailand are
specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of foot pathology, but not through surgical
means. In some circumstances these practitioners will further specialise and, following
further training, perform reconstructive foot and ankle surgery.

Welcome by Podiatry Thailand
What is Podiatry, Podologie, Podology or Chiropody
A chiropodist, podiatrist or Podoloog is a foot specialist who treats people suffering from
lower limb or common foot problems . Although many people get confused in
understanding the difference between a chiropodist, podiatrist and a Podoloog, to be
honest there is no difference between them. This is because podiatry is the new name
given to them in 1993. They are considered as footspecialist and they have acquired the
same qualifications and experience.
Foot problems such as fungal or ingrown toenails
The role of these foot specialist is to advise you and your family on how to take care of
your feet and the type of shoes that you need to wear. Podiatrists can also treat and
alleviate day-to-day foot problems. Podiatrists can also help to ease the pain of people
who have diabetic foot ulcers and diabetic foot.
We don't cure ingrown toenails, warts, corns, nail fungus and skin idisorders.
How does a Podiatrist treat you
If you are suffering from any kind of minor or serious foot issues then you can pay a
visit to a podiatry clinic. They can help you by professionally removing calluses and
hard skin from your feet. Furthermore, they can also clip your toenails if you have
fungal or nail infection and give you professional advice on the best ways in which you
can take care of your feet properly.
A podiatric might also advise you to wear specific shoes or
orthotics and arch support inserts to help you with your
condition.
In case your feet are flat or there are high arches in your feet then a podiatrist can
provide you with a customised support that is suitable for your feet so that you feel
more comfortable in walking. Orthotics is custom-made insoles that are used to
minimise the symptoms that result from biomechanical problems. These insoles are
usually provided to control excessive pronation called fallen arches and flat feet but
they can also prove to be useful for many other conditions.
The emphasis of most podiatrists is on prevention rather
than surgery as being the best form of medicine.
Therefore, in order to address the foot pain they emphasise more on the patient
taking care of their feet by wearing proper footwear and using orthotic inserts.
Podiatrists also deal with biomechanics; they do this by treating problems that arise
from the way your muscles function and joints are aligned. So, if you are having any
such symptoms then you should definitely plan on visiting one of our clinics. This is
because if the condition accelerates then the pain from poor alignment can have a
serious effect on not only your knees but lower back and hips.s.
So, if you are suffering from any of these foot conditions or
other foot related injuries why not book in for an
appointment with one of our fully trained and friendly
podiatrists today.
