Should I See a Podiatrist?

Many people put off seeing their doctor when foot pain arises, either because they think foot discomfort is normal, or they’re unsure of where to go for treatment. Seeing a podiatrist is your best option when you have any issues involving your feet or ankles, such as sports injuries, arthritis, joint pain, skin problems, warts, ulcers, nerve problems, nail concerns, and much more.

It’s important to take good care of your feet, because it directly affects overall health. Without treatment, foot problems can become worse and lead to serious problems. For example, people with diabetes must make sure their feet are healthy, because often they have diminished sensation in their feet and may not notice a small cut, which can become infected and cause severe damage. If you have any foot- or ankle-related issues, speak to your primary care physician to see if you need a referral for a podiatrist.
