Podiatry (US English), or chiropody (British English), is the field of medicine devoted to the study and treatment of disorders of the foot and ankle (translated literally, chiropody refers to medicine of the "hand and foot", but the term no longer has this meaning). For information about podiatry as a profession, see podiatrist.
