Podiatry
Podiatry primarily deals with the foot and the effects of the foot on the rest of the body. The foot was designed for purposes. We are all created to use the foot even then. This meant that we had to function on hard grounds and needed shoes to protect the foot from the ground and environment. It is this combination of footwear and hard surfaces that created most of the foot problems we see today. The tighter shoes deform the foot. Shoes may sometimes create moist environments that infections love and the hard surfaces that might cause absorption problems.
