Professional statement
Foot health begins by treating the foot's many joints, tendons, bones, muscle, and skin to bring them into balance. A healthy foot will work and play without pain or infection. The best foot care gives relief and restores function by considering the activities and medical conditions of the patient. For example, a patient may have a painful corn or callus that does not respond to over the counter remedies. It could be due to the positioning and shape of the bones. The footgear for the patient's job may make the condition worse, and the patient may have a medical condition like diabetes. The "hand" of podiatric care treats with five "fingers": medical, surgical, topical, physiotherapy, and biomechanical. We will address your concerns by these means.
