Foot or ankle pain is not normal. If your feet or ankles are bothering you, it’s time to get them checked to make sure there are no underlying conditions. For many people, it can be difficult to identify foot or ankle pain because they’ve grown so accustomed to it over the course of weeks, months, or even years in some cases. Is this you?
Maybe you’ve been experiencing foot or ankle pain for a long time but never thought anything of it. If that’s the case, we invite you to come into one of our podiatry offices. We have podiatry offices in Angola, Indiana (IN), Coldwater, Michigan (MI), Dowagiac, MI, Paw Paw, MI, Portage, MI and Sturgis, MI. Allow us to make sure there are no serious problems with your feet or ankles.
Most people have a foot or ankle problem at one time or another. So how do you know when you should see us?
Sometimes it’s obvious that you need to seek help, but at other times it’s less clear. In reality, many symptoms, even those you can tolerate, may require professional attention to keep it from worsening.
…and many, many more.
Is it normal to have pain in the foot or ankle?
No, pain or discomfort in your foot or ankle isn’t normal. It signals a problem that needs to be evaluated, diagnosed, and treated by a foot specialist who fully understands this part of the body.
If I go to Advanas Foot & Ankle Specialists, does that mean my foot or ankle problem will be treated surgically?
No. In fact, foot and ankle surgeons are trained to make all reasonable efforts to treat foot and ankle problems non-surgically if at all possible. Surgery is recommended only if other options are not feasible or do not adequately relieve your problem.
Why would I need to see a foot and ankle surgeon?
The foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, and 19 muscles and tendons … that’s a complicated network of tissues!
And feet get quite a workout: They hold us up, plus absorb the shock of each step we take. The way your foot is structured, the way it works, and the way it affects other body areas (such as your back) add to its complexity.
Advanas Foot & Ankle Specialists have the in-depth knowledge to diagnose and treat conditions of this complex part of the body and work with your overall healthcare team to ensure you are receiving the best podiatry care possible for your foot and ankle conditions. We are the foot specialists and we have the solution. And 95% of the time we are able to give relief WITHOUT painful shots or surgery. But if you do need surgery, it can be performed by one of our Board Certified Foot & Ankle Surgeons, in the convenience of our Joint Commission accredited surgical suite. So you don’t have to go the hospital or surgery center.
