Foot Surgery in Brick
Do you have a painful foot problem that you would like to have addressed? There are many times foot problems can be easily fixed with nonsurgical treatments or with prescribed foot orthotics. There are other times when you need to have foot surgery in order to fix your foot problem. If you think you may need
foot surgery in Brick, you can do no better than to see our doctor at our highly regarded practice, Dr. Theodore D’Amato.
Our expert and foot doctor and surgeon is Dr. Theodore D’Amato. One of his areas of specialty is diabetic reconstructive surgery of the foot and ankle, and wound management of the foot, ankle, and leg. He also specializes in pediatric lower extremity conditions that need both surgical and nonsurgical treatments. At our podiatry practice we often provide
foot surgery in Brick, but we are also happy when we can offer nonsurgical treatments for a wide range of foot disorders. There are also those foot disorders that may or may not need surgical treatment, depending on the patient’s desires.
One such example is when a patient has a bunion. Bunions can be either treated surgically or non-surgically. This often depends on the size and condition the bunion is in. Some bunions can be very painful, while others cause relatively little or no pain. However, there are often shoe inserts a patient can wear that will help relieve any bunion pain. Oftentimes though a patient will want to have foot surgery in order to totally correct the foot problem. Among the common services that we offer in our office are: toenail laser therapy; treatment of fungal toenails; treatment of foot injuries; treatment of diabetic foot wounds and other foot condition; vascular testing; and digital x-rays. At our practice we also treat many different forms of foot and ankle sports injuries. If you experience a foot injury which feels like an ankle or foot sprain, you should contact our office immediately for an appointment. These types of injuries should not be left to be observed on a wait and see basis. They need to have immediate diagnosis to make sure that no immediate treatment is needed. If not properly treated, an ankle sprain could develop into a long-term problem. Hammertoes are also conditions that may or may not need to be treated by surgical intervention. When treated early, hammertoes may not need surgery. However, once they become stiff and fixed in place, surgical intervention is often the only option.

foot surgery in Brick contact our office today.
