Questions To Ask Your Podiatrist

You use your feet every day, so it’s essential that you take proper care of them. Your podiatrist knows the best ways to do so, but what questions should you be asking your Lockport, and Williamsville, NY, podiatrist, Dr. Jason White of Podiatry Solutions of WNY?

These are a few commonly asked questions regarding conditions and treatment of the feet that a patient can ask during an appointment with our podiatrist:

Why Do I Have Heel Pain?

If you have a sharp pain shooting up from your heel, you could have plantar fasciitis. Your podiatrist may recommend stretching exercises and rest.

Do I Have A Hammer Toe?

Does your toe bend at the middle joint? If so, you may have a hammer toe. This condition is caused by tight shoes and can become very painful. The podiatrist can determine if surgery is necessary to correct it.

What Are Bunions and What Causes Them?

Bunions are a type of bone deformity that forms around the joint of the big toe. A bulging lump on this joint will often stick out and turn red. Bunions frequently cause the big toe to turn inward towards the other toes.

What Treatment Options Are Available for My Condition?

There are a number of treatment options available for common foot conditions, including medication, physical therapy, and surgery. Your podiatrist will be able to discuss all of the available treatment options with you and help you choose the one that is best suited to your needs.

What Is Causing My Foot Pain?

If you have been dealing with specific pain, you should be sure to include this as a question to ask. Include specific details about the pain you’re experiencing, and when you feel it the most, this can help your podiatrist understand exactly what you’re feeling and can help them determine the cause.
