Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Podiatric care with Dr. Khan:
- What is the difference between a Podiatrist and an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Khan is a podiatrist (DPM), specializing in the medical and surgical care of the foot and ankle. Orthopedic surgeons (MD/DO) treat the entire musculoskeletal system, and some may have a fellowship in foot and ankle care. However, a podiatrist's entire training is dedicated to the foot and ankle.
- Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?
- To see Dr. Khan, you may not need a referral. Many insurance plans, like PPOs, allow direct appointments. However, some plans, like HMOs, require a referral from your primary care physician. Call your insurance company to confirm your plan's specific requirements.
- What causes heel pain, and how do you treat it?
- Heel pain is often caused by Plantar Fasciitis, an inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot. Dr. Khan typically starts with conservative treatments like stretching, icing, and supportive shoes, and may recommend custom orthotics. Other options are available if these methods don't provide relief.
- What's the best way to treat an ingrown toenail?
- Dr. Khan advises against attempting to treat an ingrown toenail at home. DIY procedures can worsen the problem or lead to infection. A podiatrist can safely and effectively remove the ingrown portion of the nail in the office, often with lasting results. For recurring problems, a portion of the nail root may be permanently removed.
- Do all bunions require surgery?
- Not at all. Many bunions can be managed without surgery. Dr. Khan focuses first on conservative treatments to relieve pain and pressure, such as recommending wider shoes, padding, and custom orthotics. Surgery is typically reserved for cases where pain is severe and significantly limits daily activities.
- What are custom orthotics and how are they different from store-bought insoles?
- Custom orthotics, prescribed by Dr. Khan, are medical devices made from a precise mold of your feet. They are designed to correct specific biomechanical issues and provide support where it's needed most, unlike store-bought insoles, which are generic, cushioned supports.
- My child's feet point inward when they walk. Is this a problem?
- In-toeing is very common in young children and often resolves on its own. However, if it's severe, persists, or causes tripping, Dr. Khan can evaluate your child's gait and bone structure to determine if any intervention is needed. He can assess whether stretching or special footwear might be beneficial.
- I have diabetes. Why is it so important for me to see a podiatrist?
- Dr. Khan understands the importance of preventative care for people with diabetes. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation in the feet, making even minor injuries serious. Regular check-ups with Dr. Khan are essential for managing foot health and preventing complications like infections and amputations.
