Your feet carry you through thousands of steps every day, but it’s easy to put off foot care, especially when a problem has improved or isn’t causing significant discomfort.
If it has been a while since your last visit, now may be a good time to schedule a follow-up appointment. Many foot and ankle conditions can return, progress over time, or benefit from periodic evaluation.
Have You Been Experiencing Any of These Problems?
Consider scheduling an appointment if you are experiencing:
Heel or foot pain that has returned — Plantar fasciitis and other causes of heel pain can improve and then recur, particularly after changes in activity, footwear or exercise.
Diabetes or neuropathy - Regular foot examinations can help identify changes in sensation, circulation, skin health and other potential problems before they become more serious.
Numbness, burning or tingling - Persistent or worsening symptoms in the feet may warrant evaluation for neuropathy or other nerve-related conditions.
Bunions or hammertoes - These conditions can become progressively more uncomfortable and may affect footwear, walking and daily activities.
Arthritis or recurring foot and ankle pain — Chronic joint, tendon and ligament problems can change over time and may benefit from reassessment.
Custom orthotics - If your orthotics are worn, uncomfortable or no longer providing the same relief, it may be time to have them evaluated.
Fungal or ingrown toenails - Nail problems can persist or return and may require additional treatment.
Previous foot or ankle injuries - Recurring pain, swelling, weakness or instability following an old injury shouldn't necessarily be ignored.
Corns, calluses or other skin problems - Recurring areas of pressure or irritation may indicate an underlying structural or biomechanical problem.
A previous diabetic foot ulcer or wound - Patients with a history of foot wounds may benefit from continued monitoring to help reduce the risk of future complications.
