  • Are you awake for foot surgery?

    It depends on the type of foot surgery. Most foot surgeries you receive MAC (monitored anesthesia care) where an IV is placed in your arm and you undergo a twilight sedation. Other forms of anesthesia will include general surgery where you a put asleep. READ MORE

  • When should I see a doctor for heel pain?

    Yes you should. Heel pain can occur from having a spur, plantar fasciitis or a heel stress fracture. In any of these cases having a baseline set of x-rays can help to diagnose your problem. READ MORE

  • My heels are in pain all the time?

    Steroid injections, taping and strapping of the foot/ankle, pre-fabricated or custom orthotics, prescription medication, physical therapy and surgery. I would recommend trying conservative forms of care first and if they fail consider surgical intervention. READ MORE
