What Conditions Can Be Treated By Surgery
If a structural deformity of the foot is severe enough, we may recommend surgery to restore the bones. Examples of deformities that may necessitate surgery include high arched feet (Pes Cavus), curvy feet (Skew Foot), low arched feet (Pes Planus), and in-toeing feet (Metatarsus Aductus). Structural deformities is a term used to refer to conditions that affect the shape and structure of the foot to the point where it causes hindrances or pain during functioning. Feet deformities happen due to bones that are misaligned, which means it won’t go away or get better with time. Some deformities may develop from congenital factors, meaning there is a predisposition before birth.
Why We Recommend Non-Surgical Options
Before the need for surgery is proposed, we may recommend using a number of resources to help deal with a foot deformity problem. These approaches won’t fix a bone formation issue, but it can help alleviate the pain enough to allow normal activities to be performed. If non-surgical options do not yield the results you were hoping for, we may then conclude that surgical correction of foot disorders needs to happen. Non-surgical methods we can incorporate into your treatment plan include:
- Orthotics custom-fitted for your feet that reduces weight pressure from a certain area
- Physical therapy and stretching exercises that were designed to build strength in a weakened area
- Using an insert like a toe spacer, splint, pad, or strap that protects the vulnerable area from irritation and friction
- Shoe insoles for a new shoe that accommodates your foot shape
- Scheduling regular cortisone injections to decrease inflammation
