In the UK much debate exists on the extent of podiatrists rehearsing a medical procedure and the English muscular affiliation and the English muscular foot and lower leg society created a position proclamation on the significance of preparing and continuous guideline of podiatrists rehearsing podiatric forefoot medical procedure after certificate and prescribed that this ought to be to the very standard as that of restoratively qualified injury and muscular specialists working on the foot and lower leg. Foot and lower leg specialists are prepared to treat all issues of the foot and lower leg, both careful and non-careful. The surgeons have also been trained to comprehend the intricate connections that exist between conditions and deformities of the spine, hip, knee, and foot. As a result, the surgeon will typically encounter cases ranging from trauma (such as malleolar fractures, calcaneus fractures, navicular and midfoot injuries, and metatarsal and phalangeal fractures). The hindfoot (tarsals), midfoot (metatarsals) and forefoot (phalanges) joints all play a significant role in arthritis care, which is mostly surgical. Adult acquired flatfoot, nonneuromuscular foot deformity, diabetic foot disorders, hallux valgus, and several common pediatric foot and ankle conditions (such as clubfoot, flat feet, tarsal coalitions, etc.) are examples of congenital and acquired deformities.

For proper diagnosis and treatment of plantar heel fasciitis-related heel pain, nerve disorders like tarsal tunnel syndrome, and foot and ankle tumors, patients may also be referred to a foot and ankle surgeon. In the field of foot and ankle care, amputation and ankle arthroscopy the use of a laparoscope in surgical procedures have emerged as prominent tools. Additionally, more and more applications for laser surgery are being discovered in the treatment of foot and ankle disorders, such as the treatment of soft tissue lesions and bunions. A patient may likewise be alluded to a foot and lower leg specialist for the careful attention of nail issues and phalangeal disfigurements like bunions and bunionettes. The vast majority of conditions affecting the feet and ankles do not necessitate surgery. For instance, a change in shoe or shoe box may be sufficient to treat several phalangeal conditions that can be traced back to the type of foot box in a shoe. Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDS) can be used to control or slow down inflammatory processes like rheumatoid arthritis. Orthotics are devices that are applied externally and are used to change the structural or functional characteristics of the neuromusculoskeletal system, specifically for the foot and ankle. They can be put in shoes as inserts to move parts of the foot to make the foot more balanced, comfortable, or therapeutic. The gastrocnemius muscle, which pulls on the heel and then pulls on the plantar fascia, altering the foot's structure and shape, can also be strengthened through physical therapy to alleviate symptoms.
