- Ankle Fracture: An ankle fracture is a break in one or more of the bones in your ankle, and a podiatrist can diagnose the fracture and develop a treatment plan, which may include casting, surgery, or physical therapy.
- Plantar Wart: A plantar wart is a common, small, hard growth on the sole of your foot caused by a virus, and a podiatrist can help remove it.

- Stress Fracture of Foot: A stress fracture is a small break in one of the bones in your foot, often due to repetitive activities; a podiatrist helps manage your pain and facilitate healing.

- Nail and Nail Bed Infection: Podiatrists specialize in foot and nail health, helping you manage infections in your nails and nail beds through various methods, from topical creams to surgical removal.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Podiatric care with Dr. Chabokrow:
- What is the difference between a Podiatrist and an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Chabokrow 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 entire training is focused on the foot and ankle.
- Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?
- To see Dr. Chabokrow, 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 specific plan's requirements.
- Do all bunions require surgery?
- Not at all. Many bunions can be managed without surgery. Dr. Chabokrow 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. Chabokrow understands the importance of preventative care for people with diabetes. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation in the feet, making small injuries hard to detect and potentially leading to serious infections. Regular check-ups are essential to manage foot health and prevent complications, including amputations.
- What are custom orthotics and how are they different from store-bought insoles?
- Custom orthotics, prescribed by Dr. Chabokrow, 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.
- 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 is severe, persistent, or causing tripping, Dr. Chabokrow can evaluate their gait and bone structure to determine if any intervention is needed. She can assess if stretching or special footwear is necessary.
- What's the best way to treat an ingrown toenail?
- Dr. Chabokrow advises against attempting to treat an ingrown toenail at home. Trying to remove the ingrown nail yourself can worsen the problem or lead to infection. A podiatrist can perform a safe, in-office procedure to remove the offending nail border and provide lasting relief.
- What causes heel pain, and how do you treat it?
- Dr. Chabokrow typically sees heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis, inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot. She begins treatment with conservative methods like stretching, icing, supportive shoes, and custom orthotics. Other options are available if these methods don't provide sufficient relief.
