Painful feetThere is an expression when your feet hurt, everything hurts. Well that’s because your feet are the foundation to your body and all the parts are interconnected. When your feet hurt, your quality of life can suffer. Pain, swelling, changes in the way your foot looks, sharp pain when you're standing or walking. These are just a few of the common symptoms of foot trouble and the need for orthotics. These symptoms may be caused by the way your foot moves or by the way your legs developed. You may have a medical condition, such as diabetes, that put your feet at risk for sores, infection or other serious health problems. Please contact your Healthcare professional if you have any of these symptoms.
Orthotics can help youWith years of medical training in foot care, your Podiatrist is an expert in diagnosing any problems that you may experience in your lower extremities. Just as contacts and glasses improve vision, orthotics improve foot movement.and function. These custom-made orthotics may relieve your symptoms by controlling the way your feet move or accommodate pressure points or bony prominences. Your Podiatrist may offer this treatment for you to relieve your painful foot ailments. Orthotics may also help compensate for problems in your hip or knee that cause incorrect foot movement. Orthotics can protect the tender areas of your foot from the wear and tear of constant use. By improving foot function and eliminating pathology in ones gait, foot problems that would eventually require surgical intervention may be delayed or even eliminated. Post-operatively, orthotics are often used to prevent a recurrence of a deformity or help maintain the surgical correction achieved. Visit Dr. Katzman's Orthotic's page for more information. Podiatrists may prescribe orthotic devices and medication and may perform inpatient or outpatient surgical procedures to treat foot, ankle, and lower leg conditions.
