Who Is a Podologist and What Services Do They Provide

A podologist (podiatrist) is a medical specialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases and pathologies of the feet, nails and lower limbs. Unlike cosmetic pedicure, medical podology addresses real clinical problems: ingrown nails, fungal infections, calluses and corns, heel cracks, and foot deformities.

Podology is a purely medical specialty, not an aesthetic one. The podologist assesses gait biomechanics, the risk of complications (especially in patients with diabetes and vascular disease), and prescribes individual treatment. At GENEVITY, podological services are provided using next-generation apparatus equipment, sterile single-use instruments, and evidence-based medical protocols. Every patient receives a full examination and treatment plan before any procedures begin.
