Podiatry is a field that focuses on treating our feet and ankles, with podiatrists having expertise in surgery, medical diagnoses, and crafting custom orthotics to correct our foot problems. Podiatrists are able to treat broken bones, fractures, sprains, nerve issues, and disorders of the feet. Our feet are the foundations of our body as “we have 26 bones in each foot, plus lots of ligaments, tendons and muscles to control them.” Our feet are also connected to our lower back. Visiting your podiatrists regularly ensures that your feet stay healthy.
If you are experiencing pain in the feet or ankles, don’t join the stubborn majority refusing treatment. Feel free to consult with Dr. Harris L. Klear from Burlington County Podiatry Associates. Our doctor will answer any of your foot- and ankle-related questions.

Podiatric Treatment
A podiatrist will treat the problematic areas of the feet, ankle or lower leg by prescribing the following:
A common podiatric procedure a podiatrist will use is a scanner or force plate which will allow the podiatrist to know the designs of orthotics. Patients are then told to follow a series of tasks to complete the treatment. The computer will scan the foot a see which areas show weight distribution and pressure points. The podiatrist will read the analysis and then determine which treatment plans are available.
