The healing art of podiatry

Ever wondered how podiatry originated during ancient times? The history of podiatry dates back to the Egyptian Civilisation as evidenced by bas-relief carvings at the entrance to Ankmahor's tomb. These carvings depict work on hands and feet which dates from 2400 BC symbolizing the medical treatment of hands and feet in particular. No one is absolutely certain when podiatric medicine and surgery was started being practised as a separate area of medicine. Until the turn of the 20th century, chiropodists now known as podiatrists were separate from general medicine. A good podiatric resource should offer trustworthy, comprehensive information about the diagnosis and treatment of various foot problems.
