Podiatry

WVU patients with problems of the foot and lower leg may now receive specialized help from a podiatrist. Our podiatrists are trained in both surgical and non-surgical podiatric medicine, and provide comprehensive treatment for a variety of foot and leg problems, including:

  • Ankle problems
  • Bunions and hammertoes
  • Neuromas and cysts
  • Flat feet/fallen arches
  • Bunions, corns, calluses, ingrown toenails
  • Heel pain and related problems
  • Wounds of the lower extremity

They also work with people with wounds to encourage proper wound care and to prevent complications that may occur if left untreated. They provide orthotics for mechanical problems, and, when necessary, performs foot amputations.
