Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Podiatric care with Dr. Holloway:
- What is the difference between a Podiatrist and an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Holloway is a podiatrist, specializing in the medical and surgical care of the foot and ankle. Orthopedic surgeons, on the other hand, treat the entire musculoskeletal system, though some may have additional training in foot and ankle care. A podiatrist's entire training is dedicated to the foot and ankle.
- Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?
- To see Dr. Holloway, you may not need a referral. Many insurance plans, like PPOs, allow direct appointments. However, some plans, such as HMOs, require a referral from your primary care physician. Call your insurance company to confirm your plan's specific requirements.
- 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 your child's in-toeing persists, is severe, or causes tripping, Dr. Holloway can evaluate their gait and bone structure to determine if any intervention is necessary. He can assess if stretching or special footwear is needed.
- What are custom orthotics and how are they different from store-bought insoles?
- Custom orthotics, prescribed by Dr. Holloway, 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 generic, cushioned store-bought insoles.
- What's the best way to treat an ingrown toenail?
- Dr. Holloway advises against attempting home remedies for ingrown toenails. Trying to remove the ingrown nail yourself can worsen the problem and cause infection. A podiatrist can safely and effectively treat ingrown toenails in the office, and can address recurring issues.
- What causes heel pain, and how do you treat it?
- The most frequent cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, inflammation of a thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot. Dr. Holloway typically starts with conservative treatments like stretching exercises, icing, supportive footwear, and custom orthotics. Other options are available if these methods don't provide relief.
- I have diabetes. Why is it so important for me to see a podiatrist?
- Dr. Holloway emphasizes the critical role of podiatry in diabetes care. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation, making small foot problems like cuts or blisters hard to notice and potentially dangerous. Regular checkups 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. Holloway 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.
