Frequently Asked Questions About Foot and Ankle Conditions

What are the most common foot problems podiatrists treat?

Some of the most common problems we treat include plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, bunions, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, plantar warts, neuromas, ankle sprains, arthritis, and neuropathy.

When should I see a podiatrist instead of waiting for pain to go away?

See a podiatrist if your pain lasts more than a few days, worsens with activity, causes swelling or bruising, makes it difficult to walk, or is accompanied by numbness, tingling, or signs of infection.

Can foot pain be a sign of another health problem?

Yes. Foot symptoms can be linked to conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, circulation problems, and nerve damage. A podiatrist can help identify these connections and coordinate care when needed.

How do podiatrists diagnose foot and ankle conditions?

Diagnosis typically includes a review of your symptoms and medical history, a physical exam, and imaging such as digital x-rays or diagnostic ultrasound, both of which are available in our office.

Are most foot conditions treated without surgery?

Yes. The majority of foot and ankle conditions respond well to conservative treatments such as orthotics, laser therapy, injections, footwear changes, and physical therapy.

Do you treat foot problems in children and athletes?

Yes. Our podiatrists treat patients of all ages and activity levels, from children and weekend athletes to seniors who want to stay active and independent.

How can I prevent foot problems?

Wearing supportive, well-fitting shoes, maintaining a healthy weight, stretching regularly, keeping your feet clean and dry, and scheduling regular foot exams, especially if you have diabetes, can help prevent many common foot problems.
