Podiatry, or podiatric medicine, involves the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders in the foot, ankle, or leg. DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine offers extensive podiatry treatments to patients of all ages dealing with a range of medical conditions. Some diseases and disorders patients can obtain treatment for include:
Due to the stress and weight regularly put on the feet and ankles from daily activities like walking, fractures, and sprains are common. Patients who have endured a fracture or sprain in their foot or ankle may experience severe pain and a significant loss of mobility. Fractures and sprains are also frequently the results of sports-related injuries.
DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine helps correct these medical concerns with effective treatments and educates patients on how these types of injuries can be avoided.
Diabetes is a serious medical concern that affects millions of people in the United States. The condition can damage the nerves in the feet or legs, as well as restrict blood flow to the lower extremities. If not properly managed, diabetes may result in needing a foot amputated.
Patients with diabetes should get their feet examined regularly. The podiatry physicians at DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine will thoroughly inspect a patient’s feet, check for any suspicious sores or calluses, and determine the best course of action.
The feet are a very complex body part, consisting of 33 joints in each foot. Arthritis is a result of inflammation, swelling, and wear and tear on these joints. The effects can be limited mobility and diminished quality of life.
Considering the severity of a patient’s arthritis, DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine will recommend a treatment plan that aligns with the client’s wants and needs. Treatment plans may involve more invasive procedures or conservative methods, such as physical therapy, prescription medications, or special shoe inserts.
