Foot pain? Nagging foot condition that won’t go away? Does it hurt when you walk?
Being foot doctors for so long we have seen many patients come through our door.
…but most of them admit to waiting too long to come and see us.
And if you are suffering from any type of foot and/or ankle problem, I’m going to tell you right now: You’re better off seeing a foot specialist as soon as possible…even if you think it’s minor.
I’ll explain.
As a quick refresher, the reason why most people don’t go to the doctor right away is that they either think that the problem will go away on its own, or they think that the treatment will be painful.
Most people brush it off and hope that it will go away. They hope that it will magically disappear and not get worse. They make excuses like “I don’t have time”, or “I’ll wait until next month” putting it off, longer and longer.
The big problem with this is that most conditions will not “heal” themselves and a lot of conditions of the foot and ankle get can worse when not treated properly.
Just think of how inconvenient it would be to have to alter your daily routine by having to stay off your feet for an extended period of time.
Most of the time this can be avoided or the amount of time off your feet greatly reduced by seeing your foot doctor right away and getting treated by a professional.
Take a look at our testimonials page, once there you can see that many of our patients say that the treatment they received was much less invasive than they thought and they wished they would have come in sooner.
We are not alarmist when we see our patients and we always explore every possible option before resorting to surgery.
Also, with the advancements in technology in foot and ankle care there are now many new procedures that we have access to, to provide you as an option.
We see many patients that come to use after either trying to treat the condition(s) themselves with over the counter drug store products, or going to outpatient health clinics and getting examined by general doctors (non-foot specialists).
Time after time we see misdiagnosed conditions by non-foot specialist doctors which cause them to prescribe the incorrect treatment(s). This can have an adverse effect on your foot health and prolong your recovery period.
It is very important that anytime you have any problem(s) with your feet or ankles to see a qualified foot doctor immediately.
This will ensure that you get the proper diagnosis and treatment plan for your specific condition(s).
This will not only save you time, stress, and aggravation, but many of our patients have been surprised how much less invasive or painful the treatment for their condition was.
