Podiatry
Tämän sivun sisältö
A podiatrist treats various foot problems. If you have a pre-existing health problem that can cause disease in your feet or legs, you can get a podiatrist’s treatment for it. The health problems can be, for example:
- diabetes
- rheumatoid arthritis
- psoriatic arthritis
- wounds on the feet caused by a neurological disease.
You need a referral from a doctor or a nurse for podiatry. Contact the social and health center in your area if you need podiatry treatment.
You can also take care of your feet yourself. You can find instructions for foot care, for example, on the Terveyskirjasto website.(siirryt toiseen palveluun)
