Industry Threats & Opportunities

  • Healthcare insurance providers recognized how vital preventive podiatry care is to lower diabetic patients’ healthcare costs
  • Many of those seeking foot care visit a general physician rather than, or prior to, a podiatrist
  • The industry will continue to move toward larger, group podiatry practices

    • Industry Analysis & Industry Trends

    Over the past five years, the Podiatrists industry stepped in the right direction thanks to the aging population and the rising prevalence of diabetes, which has caused more individuals to require foot care. Many healthcare insurance providers have recognized how vital preventive podiatry care is to lower diabetic patients' healthcare costs. While Americans have typically overlooked feet as an essential component in health and well-being, this trend is expected to change over the next five years in line with more healthcare providers stressing preventive care, including podiatry.
