When foot pain won’t go away, many patients are concerned that the next step is surgery. Well, there’s a chance that you have other options, too. Dr. Brett Stark of Auburn Foot Care Center relies on his experience and access to advanced technology to consider surgery as the last option. From changing shoes to using custom orthotics, here are some things to consider before thinking about the scalpel:
Did you fully recover?
If you recently had surgery or experienced an injury, have you fully recovered? Getting back to regular activities too soon can cause the pain to come back. Reinjuries can lead patients to take a step back in the recovery process. Schedule an appointment today to see the latest update on your foot and ankle health.
Is it time for a new pair of shoes?
Wearing shoes that have the proper fit can bring relief. It starts with double-checking your shoe size. Then, consider if custom orthotics can improve each step you take. For patients with diabetes, speaking with a podiatrist can help you better understand which shoes provide the most comfort.
