Frequently Asked Questions

Arrow

What is a podiatrist?

A podiatrist is a medical professional specializing in the   diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower legs. Also known as Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPMs), podiatrists provide care for injuries, chronic conditions, and preventative foot health. The DPM is also well versed in recognizing the manifestations of systemic disease as it pertains to the lower extremity. Podiatric physicians can often help to find a systemic issue much earlier than other physicians simply with a foot exam.
Arrow

When should I see a podiatrist?

You should see a podiatrist if you experience persistent foot or ankle pain, numbness, swelling, ingrown toenails, diabetic foot concerns, or difficulty walking. Early intervention can prevent more serious complications.

 

Arrow

Why does my foot or leg hurt after I walk?

Foot and leg pain after walking could be caused by a variety of issues, including overuse, improper footwear, muscle strain, arch weakness or underlying conditions like plantar fasciitis or arthritis. If the pain persists, it’s best to see a specialist for an evaluation.
Arrow

How are foot pain and back pain related?

Foot pain is often caused by structural or soft tissue issues in the foot itself, such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, or arthritis. However, some foot pain can stem from hip or back problems, particularly nerve issues like sciatica. A podiatrist can help determine the true source of your pain.
Arrow

What causes heel pain?

Heel pain is most commonly due to plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, nerve entrapment or heel spurs. It’s important to get an evaluation to determine the cause and the best treatment options.
Arrow

How do I know if my ankle sprain is serious?

If you have difficulty bearing weight, significant swelling, bruising, or difficulty walking, you should see a podiatrist to rule out a fracture or severe ligament damage.

Arrow

Are diabetic shoes covered by Medicare?

Yes, Medicare typically covers one pair of diabetic shoes per year with certain clinical findings and if prescribed by a doctor Custom orthotics may also be covered.

Arrow

What can cause numb feet?

Numb feet can be caused by neuropathy, circulatory issues, or nerve compression. If you experience localized, intermittent or persistent numbness, a podiatrist can determine the cause and recommend treatment.

 

Arrow

Do you treat athletic injuries?

Yes, podiatrists treat a variety of sports-related injuries, including ankle sprains, stress fractures, tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis. Pickleball players, for example, often experience foot and ankle strain due to quick lateral movements. Proper footwear, stretching, and early intervention can help prevent chronic issues.

 

Arrow

What are shin splints and how are they treated?

Shin splints occur when repetitive stress on the shinbone and surrounding muscles causes inflammation. This condition is common in runners and athletes who suddenly increase their activity levels. Treatment includes rest, ice, compression, stretching, and sometimes orthotic support to reduce strain on the lower leg.

 

Arrow

Is having a flat foot normal?

Flat feet can be normal for many individuals and may not cause any symptoms. However, if you experience pain, instability, or difficulty walking, it could indicate underlying structural issues. Custom orthotics, physical therapy, or medical intervention may be necessary for proper foot support.

 

Arrow

I have really high arches—is that normal?

High arches can be a natural foot structure, but they may also lead to problems such as instability, pain, or an increased risk of stress fractures. If you experience discomfort or frequent foot injuries, a podiatrist can recommend treatments like supportive footwear, orthotics, or targeted therapy.

 

Arrow

Do you treat children?

Yes, we provide foot and ankle care for patients of all ages, including children. Common pediatric foot conditions include flat feet, toe walking, pigeon toes, heel pain, and sports injuries. Early intervention can help prevent long-term complications.

 

Arrow

Do all diabetics develop foot ulcers?

Not all diabetics will develop ulcers, but those with poor circulation, neuropathy, or high blood sugar levels are at increased risk. Regular foot exams with treatment by a podiatric physician and proper footwear are essential for prevention.

 

Arrow

When should an ingrown toenail be seen by a professional?

If an ingrown toenail is causing pain, redness, swelling, or signs of infection, you should seek professional care. Diabetic patients and patients with immunological deficiencies should be especially cautious, as untreated infections can lead to serious complications.

 

Arrow

What is a medical pedicure?

A medical pedicure is a foot care treatment performed by a healthcare professional, typically a podiatrist or trained specialist, rather than a nail salon technician. It focuses on hygiene, nail health, and treating issues like fungal infections, ingrown toenails, calluses, and corns. Unlike cosmetic pedicures, medical pedicures prioritize foot health and are especially beneficial for individuals with diabetes, circulatory issues, or other conditions that require specialized foot care. Anyone who is potentially compromised should consult a podiatric physician for advice and treatment.

 

Arrow

At what age should I start seeing a podiatrist?

There is no age requirement to see a podiatrist—foot and ankle care is important at every stage of life. We treat patients of all ages, including children with developmental foot concerns, adults with acute injuries, and seniors managing chronic conditions such as arthritis and diabetes. Whether you’re experiencing pain, mobility issues, or need preventive care, our specialists are here to help.
