When to See a Podiatrist
Untreated gout flares cause permanent joint erosion. Balance Foot & Ankle checks uric acid levels, prescribes allopurinol or febuxostat for chronic prevention, and drains the joint for immediate flare relief. Don’t just ice and ibuprofen through attacks — get on a prevention protocol that stops them for good.
