As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Mistry offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Achilles Tendon Contracture: If your Achilles tendon is shortened and stiff, it's called an Achilles tendon contracture, limiting your ankle's movement and causing pain; a podiatrist helps treat it using methods like physical therapy or surgical lengthening.
- Osteoarthritis of Foot: Experiencing chronic foot pain due to the wearing down of joint cartilage (osteoarthritis)? A podiatrist can assess your condition and recommend treatments like medication, physical therapy, or surgery.

- Rupture of Achilles Tendon: A ruptured Achilles tendon is a tear in the strong tendon that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone, and a podiatrist can diagnose it and recommend treatment like surgery or physical therapy.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Podiatric care with Dr. Mistry:
- What is the difference between a Podiatrist and an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Mistry is a podiatrist, specializing in the medical and surgical care of the foot and ankle. Orthopedic surgeons treat the entire musculoskeletal system, and while some may have foot and ankle fellowships, a podiatrist's training is dedicated solely to the foot and ankle.
- Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?
- To see Dr. Mistry, 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 requirements.
- My child's feet point inward when they walk. Is this a problem?
- In-toeing is common in young children and often resolves on its own. However, if your child's in-toeing is severe, persistent, or causing tripping, Dr. Mistry can evaluate their gait and bone structure to determine if any intervention is necessary. He can assess your child and recommend appropriate treatment options, such as stretching or special footwear, if needed.
- What causes heel pain, and how do you treat it?
- Dr. Mistry often sees heel pain, the most frequent cause being plantar fasciitis, inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot. He typically starts with conservative treatments like stretching, icing, supportive shoes, and custom orthotics. Other options are available if these methods don't provide relief.
- Do all bunions require surgery?
- Not at all. Many bunions can be managed without surgery. Dr. Mistry 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's the best way to treat an ingrown toenail?
- Dr. Mistry advises against attempting to treat an ingrown toenail at home. DIY removal can worsen the problem or cause infection. A podiatrist can safely and effectively remove the ingrown portion of the nail in the office, often providing lasting relief. For recurring issues, a portion of the nail root can be permanently removed.
- I have diabetes. Why is it so important for me to see a podiatrist?
- Dr. Mistry emphasizes the critical role of podiatry in diabetes care. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation, making minor foot problems, like cuts or blisters, hard to notice and potentially lead to serious infections. Regular checkups with Dr. Mistry 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. Mistry, 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.
