Podiatrist or orthopedist?

I need to find follow up care for my broken ankle( its be 1 month). Should i get an appointment beside a podiatrist or orthopedist? whats the difference?

Answers:

Can anyone recommend a good chiropractor within Orlando area?

see an orthopedic doctor because they will treat problems above the foot, your ankle. A Podiatrist is licensed to treat individual problems of the foot.

Help! I need an answer rushed!?

podiatrist deals near with foot only, orthopedist deal with roughly all joint and bones. you can make an appointment near whichever one.

I'm 5' 7" and at the age of 24 my weight dropped to 3st. Does that engender me a size Zero?

podiatrists deal next to feet and ankles oNLY. and an orthopedic surgeon deal with All the bones. Go to an orthopedic surgeon and consequently go to a podiatristy as capably.
