Podiatric Medicine is a branch of the medical sciences concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the human foot, ankle, and their governing and related structures.

A DPM specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of foot disorders, diseases and injuries. The human foot is a complex structure containing bones, muscles, nerves, ligaments and bold vessels and is designed for balance and mobility.

Because the foot has such a highly significant interrelationship with the rest of the body, it may be the first area to show signs of serious conditions such as diabetes and heart disease two diseases clearly documented as prevalent in the Savannah community.
