With in-house imaging and podiatrists that specialize in fracture management, getting back on your feet has never been easier.
Fractures in the bones of the feet can take longer than a week to heal, however, it’s important to get the bone properly aligned and immobilized as soon as possible to allow for proper healing.
If a fracture is not properly treated within a week, it may lead to complications such as poor healing, chronic pain, and deformity.
What happens when someone misses the window to have their fracture set?
- Foot and Ankle Deformity
- Chronic Pain
- Poor Healing
- Loss of Function and Mobility
Although it may be more convenient to visit a general practitioner at an urgent care center, visiting a foot and ankle specialist right away will result in better care.
Our podiatrists will read your foot and ankle x-rays better than Urgent Care
The foot has over 26 bones, and it can be easy for a general practitioner at an urgent care to overlook or miss a hairline fracture.
Our doctors can provide you the necessary treatment right away
Rather it’s setting a fracture or performing surgery, our foot and ankle specialists can perform the treatment you need right away.
Our podiatry offices have everything you need to recover from a fracture, from experienced and knowledgeable practitioners, to a wide range of treatment options and state-of-the-art facilities.
