Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Podiatric care with Dr. Luh:
- What is the difference between a Podiatrist and an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Luh is a podiatrist, specializing in the medical and surgical care of the foot and ankle. Orthopedic surgeons treat the entire musculoskeletal system, but some may have a fellowship in foot and ankle care. A podiatrist's entire training focuses on the foot and ankle.
- Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?
- To see Dr. Luh, 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.
- I have diabetes. Why is it so important for me to see a podiatrist?
- Dr. Luh emphasizes the preventative role of podiatry in diabetes care. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation in the feet, making small injuries serious. Regular check-ups are essential for preventing complications, managing foot health, and avoiding amputations.
- What's the best way to treat an ingrown toenail?
- Dr. Luh advises against attempting to treat an ingrown toenail at home. DIY procedures can worsen the problem or lead to infection. A podiatrist can safely and effectively remove the offending nail border in a simple in-office procedure. For recurring problems, a portion of the nail root can be permanently removed.
- Do all bunions require surgery?
- Not at all. Many bunions can be managed without surgery. Dr. Luh 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. Luh, 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, store-bought insoles which are simply cushioned supports.
- 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. Luh can evaluate their gait and bone structure to determine if any intervention is necessary.
- 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. Luh typically starts with conservative treatments like stretching exercises, icing, supportive footwear, and custom orthotics. Other options, such as injections or surgery, may be considered if these methods don't provide relief.
