Podiatry at Lancaster General Health

The podiatry team helps patients put their best foot forward, offering treatments for bunions, heel pain, toenail problems, diabetes-related issues, and other foot and ankle injuries and conditions.

Your feet are your springboard for life. But the stress of carrying you around also puts the muscles, bones and joints of your feet at higher risk than most body parts for injury and problems that develop from wear and tear, neglect, and disease. The doctors and staff at LG Health Physicians Podiatry use the latest technology and equipment to diagnose, treat and prevent foot and ankle conditions.
