Expert Clinical Podiatry Services

The ideal frequency varies according to your individual needs. Healthy people should have an annual preventive evaluation. Patients with diabetes, circulatory problems, or chronic foot conditions should see a podiatrist every 2-3 months, or as directed by their doctor. Athletes who practice high-impact activities also benefit from regular consultations to prevent injuries.

No, that's a common misconception. Podiatrists are professionals specialized in the entire musculoskeletal system of the feet and ankles. We treat a wide range of conditions including plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Morton's neuroma, bunions, gait problems, sports injuries, deformities, diabetic ulcers, and much more. We also prescribe custom orthotics and provide guidance on appropriate footwear.

Coverage varies depending on the health plan and medical indication. Many plans cover podiatric consultations and procedures, especially when there are underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, or circulatory problems. We recommend checking directly with your health provider about specific coverage. Our team can also assist with documentation needed for reimbursement.

Yes, custom orthotics can make a significant difference. Unlike generic insoles sold in stores, custom orthotics are designed specifically for your feet after detailed biomechanical analysis. They correct alignment problems, distribute pressure properly, improve posture, and can relieve pain not only in the feet but also in the knees, hips, and spine. They are particularly effective for athletes, people with flat or high-arched feet, and those with conditions such as plantar fasciitis.

Seek immediate care if you have: open wounds that won't stop bleeding, signs of infection (intense redness, heat, swelling, fever), sudden and severe pain after an injury, complete inability to bear weight on the foot, visible deformity after trauma, or sudden loss of sensation (especially in diabetics). For other problems, schedule a regular consultation with us.

The ideal shoe should have: sufficient space at the front for toes to move (about 1cm), adequate arch support, firm heel counter, breathable material, and be appropriate for the specific activity. Avoid very high heels for daily use and extremely tight shoes. Always try on shoes at the end of the day when feet are more swollen. If you have specific foot problems, we recommend a professional evaluation for personalized footwear guidance.
