Emergency Appointments and your FEET

Every day, I have patients trip over their pet, slip on a step or curb, slide too hard into first base, get stepped on while playing basketball, or suddenly wake up with a red, swollen foot. Certainly, you should get help right away! A clinical exam by a health care professional is very important, and x-rays, MRI/CT scans, lab work, or other tests may be needed. Additionally, you need to feel more comfortable quickly, and this can range from walking boots, soft casts, medication, injections, and more! A foot and ankle specialist can focus their attention on not only relieving or lessening your pain, but also starting to solve the foot or ankle problem. My office is not open all the time, but if you do need to be seen right away, give us a call! If we are in the office or near the office, we will try to get you an appointment right away! Sometimes we cannot help, but if we can, why not see a foot and ankle specialist right away! Give us a call- 708-763-0580! This blog is created each time based on whatever conditions or situations I have encountered around the time when I am writing it. I am not a professional writer and do not hire outside companies to write generic blog posts. My office is a local, community based practice and not owned by a huge company. Questions?
