Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Podiatric care with Dr. Singh:
- What is the difference between a Podiatrist and an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Singh is a podiatrist (DPM), specializing in the medical and surgical care of the foot and ankle. Orthopedic surgeons (MD/DO) 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?
- To see Dr. Singh, 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.
- I have diabetes. Why is it so important for me to see a podiatrist?
- Dr. Singh's podiatric care is crucial for people with diabetes because diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation in the feet. Small cuts or blisters can easily become serious infections without your noticing. Regular check-ups 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. Singh 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 are custom orthotics and how are they different from store-bought insoles?
- Custom orthotics, prescribed by Dr. Singh, 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, 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 persists, is severe, or causes tripping, Dr. Singh 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 causes heel pain, and how do you treat it?
- Dr. Singh typically finds that plantar fasciitis, inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, is the most frequent cause of heel pain. She usually begins treatment with conservative methods like stretching, icing, and supportive footwear. Custom orthotics may also be recommended. Other options are available if these methods do not provide sufficient relief.
- What's the best way to treat an ingrown toenail?
- Dr. Singh advises against attempting to treat an ingrown toenail at home. DIY removal can worsen the problem or lead to infection. A podiatrist can safely and effectively treat ingrown toenails in the office, often with a simple procedure and local anesthesia. For recurring issues, a portion of the nail root may be permanently removed.
