The Benefits of Seeing a Foot Doctor

A foot doctor, also known as a podiatrist, is an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of foot, toe, and ankle conditions. A foot doctor can help you by treating a wide variety of injuries and conditions, including:

  • Toe conditions like hammertoes, fungal toenails, and ingrown toenails
  • Foot conditions like bunions, plantar fasciitis, and heel pain
  • Ankle conditions like lateral ankle instability, ankle sprains, and broken ankles

Our foot doctor can also help care for your feet if you suffer from a chronic disease affecting your feet. These are just a few of the ways your foot doctor can help if you have:

Diabetes - this serious disease affects blood flow, nerve sensation, and healing. These problems can cause soft tissue necrosis, lack of sensation in your feet and toes, and delayed or absent healing, which can result in a small blister turning into a painful diabetic ulcer. Your foot doctor can help monitor the health of your feet to prevent diabetes-related complications.

Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis - these serious chronic conditions can cause severe joint pain, joint stiffness, and loss of mobility. Our foot doctor can help reduce inflammation and pain related to arthritis.

Our foot doctor also can prescribe many different treatments, medications, and devices including custom orthotics, walking casts and other mobility aids, custom footwear, splints, and medications to reduce inflammation and pain. Our foot doctor can help you stay on your feet and live your best life.
