Podiatry strives to improve the overall health and well-being of
patients
by focusing on preventing, diagnosing, and treating
conditions
associated with the foot and ankle. To treat these
problems,
podiatrists prescribe drugs, order physical therapy, set
fractures,
and perform surgery. They also fit corrective inserts called
orthotics,
design plaster casts and strappings to correct deformities, and
design
custom-made shoes.
TopSurgeons has extensive experience in the
treatment of all types of
foot and ankle pathology. Our expertise includes
management of
complex problems such as failed hindfoot fusions, diabetic
foot
complications, and rheumatoid arthritis, and more common
problems
such as bunions and hammer toes. We are trained in
up-to-date
specialty podiatry techniques such as arthroscopy of the ankle
joint.
