Conservative Foot Care
Whenever possible, your treatment starts with conservative, nonsurgical services, such as:
- Casts and braces – Protect an injured foot or ankle and keep it still so it can heal
- Custom-made orthotics – Pain-relieving shoe inserts designed just for your feet
- Physical therapy – Exercises that help the foot or ankle move better, gain strength, and feel more comfortable
- Steroid injections – Deliver medicine directly to a painful spot in the foot
If conservative care isn’t right for your condition, your podiatrist may perform surgery.
