FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a podiatrist?
With a doctorate in podiatric medicine, a podiatrist is an expert in treating all foot pathologies. They provide treatments and valuable advice to alleviate biomechanical, dermatological, infectious, and other foot-related problems. Podiatrists are qualified to diagnose and treat your feet, and they are authorized to prescribe medication as needed.
When should you consult a podiatrist?
You can consult a podiatrist for the overall health of your feet, whether or not you have symptoms, as well as for prevention or reaction to a condition. It's important to see a podiatrist at the first sign of abnormality or if you have any questions. If you're unsure about the health of your feet, contact us promptly for proper care. Prompt treatment can speed up recovery and prevent more serious complications.
Are podiatrist fees covered by insurance?
Podiatric medicine is a private practice, and fees such as orthotics are not covered by insurance plans. However, most group or private insurance plans cover podiatry care.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
You don't need a doctor's referral to see one of our podiatrists. You can book an appointment with or without a referral from your primary care physician. Our podiatrists are qualified to provide comprehensive care for your feet.

At what age can a podiatrist start treating children?
Within a few weeks to a few months after birth, a podiatrist can conduct a basic assessment of your newborn's feet, legs, and hips. They can schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your child's development over the years.
Foot Structure
The foot is an intricate part of the human body, composed of 28 bones, 30 muscles, 21 joints, and 107 ligaments. These components work together to facilitate various foot movements and provide stability to endure daily stresses. Ensuring the proper functioning of these structures, the feet are supplied with a network of arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels, ensuring adequate blood circulation.
Corn and Callus Formation
Corns are localized thickenings of the skin, often painful, with a conical-shaped core, occurring in high-pressure areas of the feet. They can develop on the underside of the feet, between toes, or on bony prominences. Calluses, on the other hand, are diffuse thickenings of the epidermis, often found under the forefoot or heel, caused by friction or excessive pressure, sometimes related to foot type or ill-fitting footwear.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia, the fibrous band connecting the heel bone to the toes, supporting the foot arch. It commonly causes heel pain, especially upon rising, and can result from various factors such as recent weight gain, changes in physical activity, footwear, or foot type.
Bunion (Hallux Abducto-Valgus)
A bunion is a bony growth on the side of the foot, often painful due to shoe pressure, resulting in deviation of the big toe towards the others. It can lead to further complications and may require surgical correction in severe cases.

Ingrown toenail
An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail irritates the surrounding skin, leading to pain and potential infection. Prompt treatment is necessary to prevent complications.
Hammertoe
Hammertoe is a deformity characterized by bent toe joints, causing friction and pressure. It can be caused by various factors, including muscular imbalance, diabetes, or ill-fitting shoes. Treatment may involve orthotics or surgical correction.
Plantar warts
Plantar warts result from skin infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), causing benign skin proliferation. They are contagious and may require professional treatment to resolve.
Flatfoot (Hyperpronation)
Flatfoot is characterized by the collapse of the foot arch, potentially causing pain and affecting other parts of the body. Treatment options include orthotics or, in severe cases, surgery.
