Podiatry
Rashid Hospitalis one of only a few healthcare providers with a dedicated Department of Podiatry in the UAE. Our specialized Podiatrist has been trained to prevent, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate abnormal conditions of the feet and lower limbs.

Our Podiatry services include footwear advice and adaptation to meet each patient's specific lifestyle, assessment and treatment of skin, nail and soft tissue problems, wound care and treatment of local infections of the feet and lower limbs, neurological foot issues, as well as, treatment of rheumatoid foot and osteoarthritis. We thoroughly assess, diagnose and treat the feet of children, adults, geriatrics, diabetics and athletes.
What we do
At Rashid Hospitalwe have one of the few Podiatry clinics in the UAE where we design and manufacture custom foot orthotics (foot supports such as shoe insoles) in-house. These supports can often be successfully used to treat foot or back pain. Orthotic devices are designed to suit your specific foot and ailment. They are also designed to fit different types of shoes to suit your specific lifestyle – for instance, women may have several orthotics for the use in sports shoes, work shoes, as well as, high heels.
With the latest in state of the art technology our Podiatrist also produces small correct devices such as digital splints, as well as, protective toe and finger nails.
