What Does a Podiatrist Do? Understanding Foot and Ankle Care
- posted: Sep. 06, 2024
Suffolk Foot and Ankle is a podiatrist team operating out of East Patchogue, Centereach, Riverhead, Medford, & Commack, NY, that can provide various care needs. No matter what kind of foot help you need, we’re more than capable of delivering it. Here are a few ways our team of experts can help you stay strong on your feet and avoid serious long-term complications.
Diagnose Problems
 The first thing we’ll do is figure out what’s impacting you. It might seem obvious initially, but many potential complications could impact your feet and ankles. For instance, a strain or sprain could make it very hard to walk and could emulate a broken bone. As a result, working with us through this process is essential to ensure you understand what’s going on.
Lab Tests and Imaging
 Sometimes, we need to do deep imaging and lab tests on your feet to gauge the problem. In many cases, it might be minor, such as a tweak of the tendons. In other cases, there might be deep bleeding throughout the feet or other concerns that we need to spot ASAP. With our in-depth and high-tech tests, it should be easier for you to avoid long-term foot issues.
Prescribe Various MedicationsÂ
 At Suffolk Foot and Ankle, our podiatrist team in East Patchogue, Centereach, Riverhead, Medford, and Commack, NY, can prescribe medication to keep you healthy and happy. For example, if you have inflamed feet or a sprained toe, we can give you pain medications and anti-inflammatory tools that reduce your suffering and minimize your unnecessary pain.
Provide Medical DevicesÂ
 Depending on your problem, we can prescribe or suggest tools like canes, walkers, orthotics, braces, and casts. These items all provide many benefits. For example, canes work well if you want to maximize your mobility, while braces can keep your foot supported while you walk. Let us know what sounds right to you, and we’ll ensure you get the necessary therapy.
Perform SurgeriesÂ
 In some cases, we might need to perform surgery on your feet or ankles. We promise to try to avoid that whenever possible. Unfortunately, it’s often necessary when your feet or ankles get old or if a serious break threatens your body's overall stability.
