Hi !
Podiatry or "Podiatric Medicine" is a field of healthcare devoted to the study and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and sometimes knee, leg and hip (collectively known as the lower extremity). The terms podiatry and chiropody are not interchangeable, with the word chiropody being most used in the UK, and podiatry in the US.

It has to do with problems occurring with your feet. An example would be, I saw one when I had bunions.
