Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Podiatric care with Dr. Eisenberg:
- What is the difference between a Podiatrist and an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Eisenberg is a podiatrist (DPM), specializing exclusively in the medical and surgical care of the foot and ankle. Orthopedic surgeons (MD/DO) treat the entire musculoskeletal system, and while some may have a fellowship in foot and ankle, a podiatrist's entire training is focused on this area.
- Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?
- Dr. Eisenberg's office accepts many insurance plans. For PPO plans, you can often schedule an appointment directly. However, HMO plans typically require a referral from your primary care physician. Please call your insurance provider to confirm your specific plan's requirements.
- 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. Eisenberg 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. Eisenberg emphasizes the preventative role of podiatry in diabetes care. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation, making even minor foot injuries serious. Regular check-ups are essential to prevent complications, manage foot health, and avoid amputations.
- What are custom orthotics and how are they different from store-bought insoles?
- Custom orthotics, prescribed by Dr. Eisenberg, 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.
- Do all bunions require surgery?
- Not at all. Many bunions can be managed without surgery. Dr. Eisenberg 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.
- 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. Eisenberg can evaluate their gait and bone structure to determine if any intervention, like stretching or special footwear, is needed.
- What's the best way to treat an ingrown toenail?
- Dr. Eisenberg advises against attempting home remedies for ingrown toenails. Trying to remove an ingrown toenail yourself can worsen the problem and lead to infection. A podiatrist can safely and effectively treat ingrown toenails in the office, and can address recurring issues with a permanent solution.
