Frequently Asked Questions about Foot Pain:

1. Is foot pain something to worry about?

While foot pain is often not a cause for serious concern, it’s important to address it if it’s affecting your daily life. Most cases of foot pain are mild and can be relieved with rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medication. However, if your pain interferes with work, exercise, or normal activities, identifying the underlying cause is crucial for long-term relief.

2. Do certain conditions worsen over time?

Yes, some foot conditions, like bunions, can progressively worsen if left untreated. Early intervention is key to managing these conditions effectively and preventing complications.

Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment

Dr. Hebert takes a thorough, holistic approach to diagnosing foot pain. She starts by reviewing your medical history and asking detailed questions about your symptoms, including the location and nature of your pain, as well as activities that might aggravate it.

Following this, she conducts a physical exam of your foot, assessing it from toe to heel.

If necessary, in-office X-rays may be performed to rule out fractures or other issues.
