foot sprains 08723
If you think you may have a foot sprain it is in your best interest that you see a foot doctor as soon as possible. It is important for a foot doctor to review your situation to see if your foot is sprained or more seriously injured. You never want to treat a foot sprain yourself, because you will not know the actual severity of the problem, and the best way to treat it. For
foot sprains 08723, contact our practice of Dr. Theodore D’Amato.
At our practice our expert and highly-trained foot doctor is Dr. Theodore D’ Amato. Dr. Amato is a member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and the New Jersey Podiatric Medical Society. He has been in private practice as a podiatrist and foot surgeon since 2006. At our podiatric practice, we treat all conditions of the foot and ankle. Many times patients come in to see us due to a foot injury. When patients initially come in with
foot sprains 08723, they do not know what the actual correct diagnosis is. At our practice we are able to determine accurate diagnosis of foot and ankle pain, and then be able to provide the appropriate care that will result in a full recovery.
When people have
foot sprains 08723 they experienced a twisting force to their ankle or foot bones. Many times it will happen that ligaments on the outside of the ankle or foot become stretched and torn. If a foot or ankle sprain is not correctly treated, instead of successfully healing it can develop into a long-term injury. This will keep our patient from returning to their full, and active lifestyle for an even longer period of time. Patients also run the risk of developing foot problems that cannot be easily corrected, and will need more extensive treatment. A foot sprain can range from a fairly mild stretching of the ligaments to a situation in which foot ligaments are completely torn and the foot is unable to bear weight. Serious sprains of the foot are not commonly suffered by people in most walks of life. However, they can be frequent for people who participate in certain sports or work in specific physically-demanding occupations. Until you are seen by our doctor who can accurately diagnose your foot problem, you will not know if your foot simply needs bandaging and rest, or if you need additional medical care. If you are suffering from foot or ankle pain of any type of foot problem, contact our office for an appointment.
