Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Podiatric care with Dr. Brown:
- What is the difference between a Podiatrist and an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Brown is a podiatrist, specializing in the medical and surgical care of the foot and ankle. Orthopedic surgeons treat the entire musculoskeletal system, but some may have a fellowship in foot and ankle care. A podiatrist's entire training is focused on the foot and ankle.
- Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?
- Dr. Brown's office accepts many insurance plans, including PPOs, which typically don't require a referral. However, some plans, like HMOs, may require a referral from your primary care physician. To be certain, please call your insurance provider to confirm your plan's specific requirements.
- What are custom orthotics and how are they different from store-bought insoles?
- Custom orthotics, prescribed by Dr. Brown, are medical devices created 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.
- I have diabetes. Why is it so important for me to see a podiatrist?
- Dr. Brown understands the unique needs of people with diabetes. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation in the feet, making even small cuts or blisters prone to serious infection. Regular checkups with a podiatrist are essential for preventing complications, managing foot health, and avoiding amputations.
- Do all bunions require surgery?
- Not at all. Many bunions can be managed without surgery. Dr. Brown 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's the best way to treat an ingrown toenail?
- Dr. Brown 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 nail border in an office setting, often with a simple procedure under local anesthesia. For recurring issues, a portion of the nail root may be permanently removed.
- My child's feet point inward when they walk. Is this a problem?
- In-toeing is common in young children and often resolves on its own. However, if your child's in-toeing is severe, persistent, or causing tripping, Dr. Brown can evaluate their gait and bone structure to determine if any intervention is needed. He can assess their feet and recommend appropriate treatment, such as stretching or special footwear.
- 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. Brown typically begins treatment with conservative options such as stretching, icing, supportive shoes, and custom orthotics. If these methods don't provide relief, other treatment options may be considered.
