What the visit includes
A focused history and hands-on exam of the painful area, an explanation of the likely cause, and a plan. Depending on the problem, treatment options may include a home stretching program, footwear and insole changes, padding or strapping, bracing, or an injection when appropriate. If imaging is needed, you'll be told what to get and why.
One problem per visit
This visit is built around a single pain complaint so there's time to evaluate it properly. If you have more than one concern, mention it when you book.
When not to wait. If you can't put weight on your foot after an injury, have a wound, spreading redness, warmth, fever, or a foot that suddenly turns cold, pale, or dark, go to urgent care or an emergency department, or call 911. This clinic does not provide emergency care.
