General Podiatric Foot Assessment
General Podiatric Foot Assessment
A Podiatric foot assessment is a comprehensive examination performed by a podiatrist to evaluate the overall health, function, and condition of the feet, as the feet relate to the whole body. It helps detect issues early, prevent complications, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed.
The Foot Assessment as performed by a Podiatrist includes: a medical history review, a visual and physical exam of the feet, a neurological and vascular assessment of the feet/legs, and a gait/biomechanical assessment of the lower extremities
This assessment is especially important for diabetics, athletes, and individuals with chronic foot pain to prevent long-term complications.
