Foot Disorders Q & A

N

What is a foot disorder?

Foot disorders include any condition that affects your foot’s normal structure or function. Your foot is a complex body part composed of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves that all work together to support locomotion.

Any condition that affects the normal function of one or more of the parts of your foot may lead to a foot disorder. Common foot disorders include:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Arthritis
  • Ankle sprains
  • Bunions and hammertoes
  • Athlete’s foot
  • Toenail fungal infections
  • Foot or ankle wounds
  • Fractures
  • Corns and calluses
  • Flat feet
  • Plantar warts

These conditions may cause foot or ankle pain or affect your body mechanics and cause pain in your knees or hips.

When do foot disorders require medical care?

You should seek medical care at New York Medical Vascular Care for any foot disorder that causes pain, interferes with your daily activities, or fails to improve within a few days of at-home care.

You should also seek medical care for your foot disorder at New York Medical Vascular Care if you have a history of diabetes or vascular condition.

These chronic health conditions affect circulation and healing in your feet. Without proper treatment, any foot disorder may lead to more serious complications, such as a nonhealing ulcer, infection, or limb loss.

New York Medical Vascular Care also provides comprehensive wound care to support the healing of foot or ankle wounds.

What happens during a foot disorder consultation?

You can expect a thorough clinical exam when you visit New York Medical Vascular Care for your foot disorder. The multispecialty practice includes many health disciplines that can diagnose and treat your foot disorder, including family medicine physicians, internists, podiatrists, and physical therapists.

During your exam, your provider reviews your symptoms and medical history, then performs a physical exam, paying close attention to the structure and function of your feet.

Your provider may request diagnostic tests such as blood work, urinalysis, or X-rays to confirm or rule out a diagnosis.
