Somehow podiatry came up ( I have no background in medicine) and I was wondering why in the world are feet doctors a specialty compared to a general surgeon or someone that might fix a broken arm or hand issues?

I’ll answer with my own personal experience: I’m a 41 year old man (not 71) and I was walking around with a cane due to knee and ankle pain. Podiatrist found I had simply been walking wrong for too long on flat feet. He created insoles specifically designed for my feet to straighten my gait and heal the damage. Two months later I’m now back to jogging on the treadmill. They’re a very important part of the medical community….
