Podiatrists and the Anatomy of the Feet

Monday, 18 November 2019 00:00

If you are seeking a doctor who specializes in the anatomy of the foot, you will be looking for the services of a podiatrist. This type of doctor can treat a variety of foot conditions, consisting of ingrown toenails, pain in the heel and arch areas, and medical conditions that often include arthritis and diabetes. Podiatrists can own a private practice, or may be employed in a hospital. Research has indicated it may be beneficial to wear the shoes that are normally worn for everyday activities when you initially visit a podiatrist. This may be helpful in determining the cause of your specific foot condition. If your feet feel tired, or you are experiencing any type of foot pain, it is advised that you consult with a podiatrist as quickly as possible so the correct diagnosis can be performed and the proper treatment can begin. 

If you are experiencing pain in the feet or ankles, don’t join the stubborn majority refusing treatment. Feel free to contact Howard Kimmel, DPM from Buckeye Foot Care. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.

What Is a Podiatrist?

Someone would seek the care of a podiatrist if they have suffered a foot injury or have common foot ailments such as heal spurs, bunions, arch problems, deformities, ingrown toenails, corns, foot and ankle problems, etc.

Podiatric Treatment

A podiatrist will treat the problematic areas of the feet, ankle or lower leg by prescribing the following:

  • Physical therapy
  • Drugs
  • Orthotic inserts or soles
  • Surgery on lower extremity fractures

A common podiatric procedure a podiatrist will use is a scanner or force plate which will allow the podiatrist to know the designs of orthotics. Patients are then told to follow a series of tasks to complete the treatment. The computer will scan the foot a see which areas show weight distribution and pressure points. The podiatrist will read the analysis and then determine which treatment plans are available.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact one of our offices located in Beachwood, Brook Park, and Willoughby, OH . We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot and ankle needs.
