Benefits of Seeing a Podiatrist in New Albany, IN

Here at Baptist Health Floyd Podiatry, we often treat a lot of heel pain, arch pain, generalized foot and ankle pain that is typically due to overuse. Treatments vary from anything from simple in office methods all the way to surgical management for those issues.

So as we age, things wear out, joints wear out, tendons wear out. So it's really important to pay attention to your feet, listen to what they're telling you. Things can progress and get worse with time. And if we catch it early, treat it early, have a quicker recovery, better chance of no long term issues, and get you back up and moving quicker.

A lot of basic treatments for foot and ankle issues are quite simple. They're really revolved around proper shoes, supports, stretching, physical therapy methods, and lifestyle modifications that can help offset some of the symptoms. Surgery is usually a failed conservative treatment that we are at a point where it's affecting a patient's quality of life to an extent that the surgical measures are required. So obviously surgery depends on exactly what issue is being addressed and those discussions would be addressed in the office and talking about management and what those recoveries look like as well.

So our main goal here at Baptist Health Floyd Podiatry is get you active, get you back on your feet, get you back in the game, get you back at work, increase your quality of life, and prevent you from having to come back and prevent those re injuries.
