Your feet experience a lot of force every day. Perhaps you wear shoes that do not fit quite right or do not support your feet well. All of these things can lead to pain, injuries, and disorders of the foot. Our foot doctor in Bronzeville offers diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of foot injuries and diseases that affect the foot.
You might be surprised to learn that the shoes you wear have a big impact on your foot health. Shoes with pointed toes may cause problems such as bunions, neuromas or hammer toe. Shoes that do not support the arch of your foot may cause or exacerbate plantar fasciitis. We can diagnose these conditions, treat them and give you recommendations on proper footwear to prevent your symptoms from recurring or getting worse.
Many people experience injuries of the foot. Maybe you tripped and fell over a curb or something on the floor. Maybe playing sports resulted in a hard landing on your foot. Our doctors also care for foot injuries. Some foot problems have no known cause. You may experience avascular necrosis of a bone in your foot or a stress fracture of one of your heel bones. We offer care for these issues, too.
People with diabetes and other circulatory disorders are at an increased risk of foot problems. If you have diabetes, it is important to have regular checkups with our foot doctor. These checkups could prevent you from developing serious complications and identify problems before they get worse.
