Because systemic conditions frequently manifest themselves in the feet, we need to know the state of your general health as well as your foot condition.
A comprehensive foot examination will be made. While many foot conditions are mechanical in origin, a careful examination will help determine the cause of the problem.
The podiatrists may take X-Rays to aid in a diagnosis. Many conditions of the foot are due to bony pathology which can be determined though x-rays. The diagnosis and treatment of foot fractures are aided by x-rays that can show the extent of the fracture.
Blood tests and cultures may be needed to diagnose specific problems. Also, testing of any tissues removed is available. MRI's CAT scans or Vascular Testing may be prescribed at Southeast Podiatry to enhance the diagnostic process.
The podiatrists may find it necessary to prescribe oral, injectable or topically applied medications in the treatment of your condition. Your medical history will be important in determining the best medicine for your treatment.
Corrective devices of several types are indicated in treatment of a wide variety of medical problems. The doctors at Southeast Podiatry are skilled in fitting orthosis to relieve many foot conditions.
Many painful conditions of the foot are correctable by surgery. If your condition requires surgery, the doctors at Southeast Podiatry will fully discuss and explain the procedure to you and answer any questions you have. Our goal is to insure you know your options and the expected outcome.
