FOOT PROBLEMS
Our feet are a unique creation of nature, despite their small size, they are able to withstand the weight of the entire body. The most common foot problems are orthopedic, which are associated with an incorrect or too heavy load. Skin diseases, especially fungal infections, as well as damage caused by systemic disorders, such as diabetes or rheumatism, are frequent. Very often, foot problems are complex, and to solve them, you may need the help of different specialists.
Podoloogi üks peamisi ülesandeid on jalaprobleemide ja -haiguste põhjuste väljaselgitamine ja profülaktika.
Hariduse tase ja maht on riigiti erinev, aga kõikjal, kus sellel elukutsel on ametlik staatus, on see meditsiini eriala ja sellest tulenevalt on podoloogid kantud meditsiinitöötajate registrisse.
