Brick Foot Doctor
Foot surgery is sometimes needed to correct a foot problem. Dr. D’Amato, a doctor of podiatric medicine, treats all foot and ankle problems. When you have foot or ankle pain, calling our office for an appointment is the best first step you can take to feeling better. You may need a
Brick foot doctor for many different conditions. Some of these conditions will call for foot surgery while others have less-invasive solutions. One problem that may need to be corrected by foot surgery is in the case of a well-developed bunion. A bunion is a common, painful problem that many people need treatment for. Bunions are often an inherited condition of the big toe joint; it often becomes worse with time. With a bunion, the side of the toe joint is moved out of place and becomes weak and enlarged. The side of the joint becomes irritated by shoes, which makes the condition worse. There are non-invasive treatments for bunions such as wearing foot orthotics. However, you may reach the point where foot surgery becomes necessary to completely alleviate the pain, and make it easy for you to continue an active lifestyle. Our Brick foot surgeon will be able to help you with any type of bunion treatment.
Our
Brick foot doctor will also be able to help you with the treatment of corns and calluses. These common foot problems are actually a way the foot defends itself against pressure and irritation caused by shoes, or ground pressure against the balls of the foot. The longer this situation progresses, the worse the corn gets. There are several home treatments for corns which include soaking the feet and using a pumice stone or emery board to rub away the corn. However, if this does not do the trick, you will want to visit Dr. D’Amato. He will be able to determine the cause of the corn, which can be caused by toe or foot deformity, biomechanical reasons or pressure. He will then be able to provide proper treatment based on his findings. Treatment can include shoe modifications, injection therapy, or surgical cures – whatever fits your personal situation.
