Podiatry

WHAT IS PODIATRY?

Podiatry is a medical specialty concerned with the treatment of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower extremities, which may also include the legs. Training to become a podiatric doctor includes the study of anatomy, pharmacology, general medicine & surgery, physiology, and other medical fields. Podiatry can extend into various fields of medicine, including sports medicine, geriatrics, pediatrics, and biomechanics.

Kernodle Clinic’s Podiatric specialists are committed to providing quality service that meets our patients’ individual needs.

Services are provided at both our Burlington and Mebane locations, and surgeries are performed at both Alamance Regional Medical Center and Mebane Surgical Center for the convenience of our patients.
