Foot & Ankle Treatment FAQs

healthy foot and ankle

Signs that require prompt evaluation include swelling, redness, open sores, infections, worsening pain, numbness, or changes in toenails. Patients with diabetes should seek care early, as even minor foot issues can progress quickly.

Your first visit includes a thorough medical history review, physical examination, and, if needed, imaging or diagnostic tests. Your podiatrist will explain the diagnosis and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your condition and lifestyle.
