Our podiatrists offer the latest treatment to get you back on your feet

EmergeOrtho’s health care team includes specially trained Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPM). Known as podiatrists, these specialists have expertise in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders, diseases and injuries of the foot, ankle and lower extremity. Our goal is to help our patients maintain a healthy, active lifestyle by keeping their feet healthy and free of pain.

As a part of their diagnosis and treatment plans, our podiatrists:

  • utilize X-rays
  • interpret laboratory tests
  • prescribe medications
  • order physical therapy
  • set fractures
  • perform surgery
  • provide outpatient referrals
  • collaborate with other specialists when necessary

Podiatrists treat these and other foot and ankle conditions:

While most of the ailments listed above respond well to conservative treatment, surgery may be required in some cases. Surgical correction often offers many advantages, including an easier and earlier return to daily activity. EmergeOrtho specializes in minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery and traditional open surgery. Your podiatrist will work closely with you to determine the appropriate course of treatment.

Foot and ankle procedures offered at EmergeOrtho include:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Foot and Ankle Care

What kind of doctor should I see for foot or ankle pain?

If you’re dealing with foot or ankle pain, you may benefit from seeing either a podiatrist or a foot and ankle orthopedic specialist—depending on your condition.

Podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions of the foot, ankle, and lower leg. They often handle concerns like toenail disorders, skin conditions, and some chronic foot pain.

On the other hand, a foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon is a medical doctor with advanced surgical training focused on bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments. At EmergeOrtho, our foot and ankle orthopedic specialists treat a wide range of injuries and disorders, from sports injuries and fractures to arthritis and complex deformities.

If you’re unsure who to see, our team can help guide you to the right provider for your specific needs.

What conditions do podiatrists treat?

Podiatrists treat various foot and ankle conditions, including Achilles tendinitis, bunions, arch pain, ankle sprains, fractures, and diabetic foot concerns. They also offer specialized treatments such as minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery and traditional open surgery when necessary to restore mobility and function.

Do podiatrists perform surgery?

Yes, podiatrists can perform certain types of foot and ankle surgeries, particularly procedures involving the soft tissues and bones of the foot. However, at EmergeOrtho, most surgical cases—especially complex or joint-related procedures—are typically handled by our foot and ankle orthopedic surgeons.

Orthopedic surgeons are medical doctors with extensive surgical training, allowing them to treat more advanced conditions affecting the bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. While podiatrists often focus on conservative care and less complex surgeries, orthopedic specialists are equipped to manage severe injuries, deformities, and arthritis that may require advanced surgical techniques.

For many patients, non-surgical options like physical therapy, bracing, or injections can be highly effective, and our multidisciplinary team works together to determine the best treatment plan for each individual.
