  2. Introduction Podiatry is a medical field that deals with the study, diagnosis, medication, and surgery of disorders concerning the lower extremity of the human body, such as feet and ankles. Podiatric medicine was first practiced as a specialty term in the United States in the early twentieth century and gradually found usage worldwide, especially in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. Podiatry Milwaukee is synonymous with its older term chiropody, a similar health practice used in many countries with a high English-speaking population.

  3. So when and how did Podiatry begin? The professional care of feet dates back to ancient Egyptian civilization about 4400 years ago. The use of the original scalpels is accredited to Hippocrates, who recognized the need to mechanically remove or reduce hardened skin called corns and calluses from feet soles as a general care procedure. He also sought to find the cause behind their formation – often an improper balancing of body weight or an improper structure of the legs. In the early nineteenth century, the mention of professional chiropody was found in the historical records of royal households. The late 1800s witnessed the establishment of the first society of chiropodists in New York, which is functional till the present day.
