As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Korpinen offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Bunionette: Painful swelling on the outside of your little toe? That might be a bunionette, a condition a podiatrist can diagnose and treat with options like padding, orthotics, or surgery.
- Foot Conditions: Experiencing foot pain or discomfort? A podiatrist is a foot and ankle specialist who can identify the underlying cause of your foot condition and provide appropriate treatment.

- Heel Spur: Experiencing heel pain? A heel spur, a calcium deposit on your heel bone, might be the cause, and a podiatrist can provide effective treatments to reduce your pain and discomfort.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Podiatric care with Dr. Korpinen:
- What is the difference between a Podiatrist and an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Korpinen 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, though some may have a fellowship in foot and ankle care. A podiatrist's training is focused entirely on the foot and ankle.
- Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?
- To see Dr. Korpinen, 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 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. Korpinen, 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.
- Do all bunions require surgery?
- Not at all. Many bunions can be managed without surgery. Dr. Korpinen 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.
- I have diabetes. Why is it so important for me to see a podiatrist?
- Dr. Korpinen emphasizes the preventative role of podiatry in diabetes care. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation, making even minor foot issues serious infections. Regular check-ups are essential for managing foot health and preventing complications, including amputations.
- 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. Korpinen can evaluate their gait and bone structure to determine if any intervention is needed. He can assess whether stretching or special footwear is appropriate.
- What causes heel pain, and how do you treat it?
- The most frequent cause of heel pain is Plantar Fasciitis, inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot. Dr. Korpinen typically starts with conservative treatments like stretching, icing, supportive shoes, and custom orthotics. If these methods don't provide relief, other options are available.
- What's the best way to treat an ingrown toenail?
- Dr. Korpinen advises against attempting to treat an ingrown toenail at home. Cutting the ingrown nail yourself can worsen the problem or cause infection. A podiatrist can safely and effectively remove the offending nail border in the office, often providing lasting relief. If the issue recurs, a portion of the nail root can be permanently removed.
