Ingrown Toenail
Ingrown toenails are more common than you think. While they can be treated at home, it’s always great to seek professional help, especially if it keeps coming back. If you’re feeling tenderness, redness, swelling, or pain in any of your toes, it might be time to see a specialist. Our professionals can get you the care you need to ensure your ingrown toenail doesn’t come back.
Numb Feeling in Your Feet
Do you have a numbness or tingling feeling in your feet? What about burning pain or having a hard time standing for long periods of time? This could be caused by a neuroma. This might sound scary but it’s not. A neuroma is an irritation or inflammation of a nerve in your foot. This irritation causes swelling which makes you feel that burning and tingling feeling.
You Have Chronic Pain in Your Feet
Have you had pain in your feet for months or even years that hasn’t gone away? It might be time to come in to talk with one of our foot doctors. They can give you the care you need and find answers and solutions that work best for you. No one should be living with constant pain.
You’re on Your Feet All Day
Whether you’re a nurse, teacher, doctor, construction worker, or any other physically demanding job, you’re probably on your feet a lot. If that includes you, it’s important to wear proper shoes that give you the support you need. Our doctors can help you get custom made orthotics and consult you on appropriate shoes for your profession.
Swelling of Your Foot or Ankle
If you recently tripped, rolled your ankle, or were involved in any other accident that caused your foot or ankle to swell, it’s important to get it treated by a doctor that specializes in sports- related injuries. Here at Foot and Ankle, we will take care of you through protective footwear, corticosteroid injections, and stretching exercises to get you back to your best.
