Doctor of Podiatric Medicine is awarded after four years of didactic and clinical training in medicine, with increased emphasis on feet. A podiatric physician is trained not only to treat problems which arise in the feet, but also problems which manifest in the feet that are caused by other parts of the body. For example, diabetes (sugar) may result in an open sore on the foot. A leg much longer than the other may cause a bunion. Podiatrists are trained to treat all of the many different problems that arise in the feet. The treatment may take many forms, including surgery, x-rays, injections, medications, physical therapy, orthotic devices, and palliation.
