WHAT DOES A PODIATRIST DO?
DIFFERENT AILMENTS PODIATRISTS CAN HELP WITH
If you find yourself suffering from foot pain, a podiatrist will almost always be able to help. These doctors can diagnose, treat, and find the best method to ensure you make a full recovery. Though it’d be impossible to list all the ailments podiatrists address, here are just a few. FRACTURES When you’ve fractured your ankle or foot, it’s important to treat it right away. Don’t convince yourself that a fractured toe isn’t as bad as a broken toe. After giving your foot a thorough examination, a podiatrist can determine the extent of your injury. Then they will help formulate a recovery plan for you to follow that will help you go back to living life normally. INGROWN NAIL While ingrown toenails are remarkably common, it doesn’t mean they should be overlooked. This painful issue can occur from shoe pressure, improperly trimming your nails, or can even be hereditary. If you have an ingrown nail and your toe becomes abnormally red, or if there’s any drainage occurring, you should see a podiatrist as soon as you can. People with diabetes or poor circulation should seek out a podiatrist immediately, as ingrown nails can become complex and dangerous if either of these conditions apply to you. HEEL PAIN Heel pain differs from person to person and can be caused by multiple circumstances. A few common causes of heel pain are heel spurs,
plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinitis. While some personal care can help with heel pain, it’s important to seek out a podiatrist as quickly as you can, especially if the pain refuses to leave or if symptoms worsen. DIABETES Diabetes can damage the eyes, heart, kidney, nerves, and feet if you don’t keep an eye on your health. It’s important to speak to your doctor about any changes that occur or strangeness that you encounter. When looking after your feet, you should be as open with your podiatrist as possible and immediately communicate any problems that arise. Regular visits can save you a lot of pain and struggle moving forward, and in extreme circumstances, it may even prevent the need for amputation.
