The foundation for your balance and comfort
Podiatry is the health field specialised in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the feet — which often impact the entire body.
The word originates from Greek: “podo” (foot) and “logos” (study), meaning “study and treatment of the feet.” The professional responsible for this area is the Podiatrist, properly qualified to care for your foot health with precision, knowledge, and personalised attention.
When surgery is necessary, trust an experienced team!
Podiatric Surgery is a specialised area focused on treating foot pathologies through surgical techniques, requiring in-depth knowledge of foot anatomy, biomechanics, and function.
Before any intervention, a thorough biomechanical assessment is essential to ensure an accurate diagnosis and the selection of the most appropriate technique.
At PodoSaúde, we have highly specialised professionals in foot surgery who use the most advanced techniques, performed on an outpatient basis — without the need for hospitalisation — promoting a more comfortable and efficient recovery.
The right care, at the right time, with the right team!
For patients with diabetes, podiatric care is essential. Diabetes affects circulation, sensation, and metabolism, making the feet particularly vulnerable.
Even a small wound can quickly develop into a serious and difficult-to-treat condition. Therefore, prevention and regular care by a podiatrist are essential to avoid complications.
Because feet deserve care at every stage of life!
As we age, our feet become even more important: they ensure mobility, balance, and independence. However, natural ageing brings changes that directly affect foot health — often worsened by wearing inappropriate footwear.
Geriatric podiatry focuses on the prevention and treatment of these changes, contributing to the well-being and quality of life of the elderly population.
Tell us about your job, and we’ll help you choose the right footwear!
Every profession places specific demands on the body — particularly on the feet. That’s why Occupational Podiatry focuses on analysing work conditions on an individual basis.
We assess factors such as the number of hours spent standing, the type of flooring, and whether the footwear used is appropriate for the job performed. The goal? To prevent discomfort, injuries, and promote well-being in the workplace.
Foot care starts from a young age!
Pediatric Podiatry is the branch of podiatry dedicated to children’s foot health. During the early years of life, the foot is a developing structure — composed mainly of cartilage until around 8 months and only reaching full maturity at about 12 years old.
The goal of these consultations is to early detect any changes or imbalances in growth, ensuring healthy development and preventing future problems.
Advice on the most suitable footwear for each stage of childhood is also an essential part of the consultation, often being enough to correct certain situations.
Prevent injuries in your sports practice!
In sports, the foot performs several essential functions — support, locomotion, impact, and even attack, as in martial arts. Sporting practice involves repetitive movements, varying loads, and instability, which increases the risk of injuries.
Sports Podiatry evaluates the technical movements of each sport to identify imbalances, correct abnormalities, and prevent injuries, promoting safer and more efficient performance.
