FAQ
Frequently asked questions
When should I see a podiatrist for foot pain?
If foot pain lasts more than a few days, worsens with activity, or affects your ability to walk comfortably, it is best to see a podiatrist. Early treatment can prevent many foot conditions from becoming more serious.
Do I need custom orthotics or over-the-counter inserts?
Over-the-counter inserts may help mild discomfort, but custom orthotics are designed specifically for your foot structure and biomechanics. A podiatrist can determine which option is best for your condition.
What causes heel pain?
The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, which occurs when the band of tissue supporting the arch becomes inflamed. Proper diagnosis is important because several conditions can cause similar symptoms.
Can bunions be treated without surgery?
Many bunions can be managed with conservative treatments such as orthotics, shoe modifications, and padding. When pain becomes severe or deformity worsens, bunion surgery may be recommended.
Do diabetics need regular podiatry visits?
Yes. Patients with diabetes are at increased risk for infections, ulcers, and circulation problems. Regular visits with a podiatrist help prevent serious complications and maintain foot health.
