Our feet are complex structures that feature dozens of small bones and ligaments. When an injury occurs to one or both feet, it often requires care from a specialist, such as an orthopedic physician. If you have sustained a foot injury, be sure to promptly consult with a medical professional about your treatment options.
Each patient’s ideal course of foot injury treatment will vary according to the type and severity of the injury. The patient’s overall health and lifestyle will also play important roles in treatment. In general, though, many foot injuries are addressed through a combination of:
- Physical therapy
- Pharmacological therapy
- Hot/cold therapy
- Immobilization through a medical boot, splint, or crutches
Less commonly, surgery may be recommended to address the underlying causes of severe foot pain, such as heel spurs and fractures.
