Podiatric medicine focuses on diagnosing and managing conditions of the foot, ankle, and lower extremity. This introductory book provides a foundational overview of common pathologies, biomechanics, and treatment strategies in podiatry. It bridges the gap between foot health and broader musculoskeletal concerns. Practical insights make it useful for both students and early-career clinicians. It serves as a stepping stone into the interdisciplinary care of lower limb disorders.
