What kind of treatments do you provide?
The podiatrists here will make recommendations on the best treatment strategies based on your unique case, the severity of it, and your goals. Conservative treatments that do not consist of surgical intervention will always be preferred but may be recommended by your podiatrist if your injury or damage to your feet and ankles is severe enough. In this case, it may be determined that surgery is the only option to fix the problem.
Podiatrists should not only be thought of as providers that you need to see when you are having a problem with your foot or ankle. It is a good idea to get regular checkups of the health of your feet to guarantee optimal functioning.
