About Dr. Margaret Shields, DPM

As a podiatrist, Dr. Margaret Shields, DPM is skilled in treating problems of the lower legs or feet. Podiatrists are trained to treat foot injuries and complications resulting from other issues such as diabetes. She works on resetting broken bones, surgeries and prescribing medication. While podiatrists do not attend conventional medical school, they are still considered as doctors. Podiatrists work in sync with other healthcare professionals in most cases.

Podiatrists start their evaluation of patients with a detailed analysis of the patient's medical history. Information about medications and prior surgeries are also factored in before the treatment begins. Patients may have to demonstrate their walking style and functionality of their joints, to help the podiatrist in assessing the problem. The treatments are usually administered in the clinic itself. Additionally, physical therapy or orthotics may also be prescribed to expedite healing. Common issues encountered by podiatrists include: Arthritis: Primary causes are inflammation and wear and tear of the joints. Podiatrists treat this with drugs, physical therapies and/or special supportive shoes. Nail disorders: Commonly occurs due to ingrown toenail or fungus.
