Can a podiatrist prescribe medication?

Yes, but a podiatrist's scope of practice is defined state by state. In most, if not all states, podiatrists cannot prescribe medication for systemic diseases (insulin for diabetes, beta blockers for hypertension, etc) because their scope of practice is limited to local manifestations of systemic diseases. The one exception is during residency, when they train under medical doctors (MD's) and they have the same scope of practice as who they train under, so they can prescribe whatever the MD is able to prescribe.


What pain medicine does a podiatrist prescribe?

A podiatrist may prescribe various pain medications depending on the condition being treated. Common options include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen for inflammation and pain relief. In more severe cases, they might prescribe stronger medications, such as corticosteroids or opioids, but typically aim to manage pain with the least invasive options first. Additionally, they may recommend topical analgesics or physical therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
