Frequently Asked Questions
What causes foot pain?
Your feet and ankles might start hurting because of everyday accidents or when playing sports. Other reasons for the pain could be doing too much activity, not having the right kind of support for your feet, chronic illnesses such as diabetes or arthritis or being overweight. These things can make different parts of your foot hurt, like your heels, the arch (middle part), the ball of your foot or even the top part of your foot.
When should I make an appointment with the podiatrist?
No pain is normal. If it has been going on for longer than one week, you should have it evaluated and treated to avoid long-term problems.
Does the podiatrist work with patients dealing with more complex conditions?
On a daily basis, podiatrists treat foot and ankle conditions of patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, arthritis, obesity, heart disease and peripheral arterial disease. These illnesses can lead to serious foot and ankle problems. With proper treatment from a podiatrist, more serious complications may be avoided.
