BookAn AppointmentGeneral Podiatry Basics
A podiatrist is a doctor and surgeon who treats conditions of the foot and ankle. Podiatrists face years of specialized foot and ankle training in podiatric school and residency programs. They study bones, nerves, muscles, and everything in between. The training they endure allows them to develop individualized treatment plans based on specific diagnoses.
Podiatric care providers have experience with conservative and surgical treatments alike, and may work closely with your other medical specialists to provide the perfect treatment plan for you.
There’s no reason to be in pain.
You may not think a podiatrist can benefit you, but that is because most Americans have resigned to simply living with their chronic foot and ankle pain. There is no reason not to seek treatment, especially with Dr. Nik’s team. Feet may seem simple, but podiatric conditions represent the intersection of countless disciplines, including neurology, pathology, immunology, cardiology, and endocrinology.
General Podiatry Treatments We Perform
-
Imaging and Diagnosis
Our evaluations include performing extensive in-office tests, taking your medical history, and getting to know you personally. If necessary, our team will recommend further testing for a more comprehensive view of your condition. Dr. Nik is x-ray and ultrasound trained, so on-site imaging is possible!
-
Prescription Medications
Sometimes the pain becomes too much, and dealing with excessive pain ultimately slows your recovery and discourages being on your feet. We understand that. Our doctors can prescribe the medications you need to treat both the source and the sensation of your pain when over-the-counter treatments aren’t enough.
-
Pediatric Deformities
Dr. Nik is number one in children's podiatry, performing even specialized pediatric surgeries. Foot problems in kids are often the result of genetic malformations, and it’s essential to address them immediately because they cannot resolve themselves. Our team aims to treat our youngest patients especially carefully, so they grow up happy and healthy.
-
Debridement
Debridement is the removal of diseased or deceased tissue, done to promote healing of remaining, healthy tissue surrounding an injury. Debridement is often necessary following diabetic complications, because diabetes-related wounds can cause serious infections if left untreated. This procedure may be mechanical, surgical, chemical, or autolytic.
