At the Foot & Ankle Medical Center, with offices in Nampa, and Fruitland, ID, Dr. Troy Fowler treats patients dealing with common or complex foot and ankle injuries. If you have recently been injured, or you are struggling with chronic pain in your feet or ankles, a podiatrist will provide you with the care you need to heal. You can try rest and ice for a few days, but if your condition doesn't improve, it is important to schedule with a podiatrist to figure out what is going on with your feet or ankles.

When to See a Podiatrist for Foot and Ankle Injuries

If you suspect that you have a broken bone in your foot or ankle, you will want to get care immediately. When you can't put any weight down on your feet, or you have excruciating pain, treatment is needed to stabilize your condition. If your injury is a sprain or plantar fasciitis, you may want to schedule with a podiatrist if you have tried to rest and ice your feet for a few days and there hasn't been any improvement. A podiatrist will evaluate your feet and ankles, and develop a treatment plan to help you recover.

Common Reasons to See a Podiatrist

A podiatrist treats injuries to your feet and ankles, and heel pain, chronic sprains, or poor arch support are common reasons people seek the services of a podiatrist. Once you are evaluated, you might be fitted for custom orthotics for better arch support. A podiatrist can prescribe pain medication or physical therapy to address structural problems with your feet and ankles. When you are not sure what is going on to cause your foot or ankle pain, a podiatrist is going to be able to provide you with answers.
