Foot pain Q&A

By Maricopa Foot and Ankle

What are some of the most common conditions you treat?
Some of the most common conditions treated are heel pain, ingrown toenails, ankle sprains, wounds and infections. There are many treatments we can do in the office to take care of these issues helping you avoid long waits at the emergency room. In most cases, we can get patients in to see the doctor within 24 hours.

Do podiatrists treat broken bones?
Yes, we treat all fractures and injuries of the foot and ankle such as ankle fractures, metatarsal fractures, toe fractures, Achilles tendon ruptures and ankle sprains. We have in-office x-rays, ultrasound visualization and a 3-D CT scan machine, which allows us to properly diagnose your injury quickly. This helps us to accurately treat your injury conservatively, or if needed, with surgery.
