When conservative treatments aren’t enough, surgery may be necessary. Our skilled podiatric surgeon performs a wide range of surgeries, including bunion removal, corrective surgeries for foot deformities, and repair of fractures or tendons.
Why Foot Care is Crucial for Your Health
Your feet bear the weight of your entire body and are involved in nearly every activity you do. Neglecting foot health can lead to issues that affect your mobility and quality of life. Routine check-ups and addressing foot problems early can prevent more serious complications down the line.
Some common signs you should see a podiatrist include:
