If there's an injury to your foot or ankle you should contact a foot doctor right away. If your insurance provider requires it, then you will have to see a foot doctor. If there is an underlying, persistent foot condition, you should not hesitate to see a podiatrist. If there's persistent or worrisome foot pain, go ahead and call the foot doctor. Don’t ignore pain, or worrisome, or unhealthy changes in the condition of your feet or ankles. (Don’t ignore any sudden, persistent, or inexplicable numbness in the feet or toes either. Get medical care fast.)If you have a foot or ankle problem like:
Ingrown toenails, heel pain, spurs, bunions, hammertoes, warts, problems with the skin on your feet, toenail fungus, foot injuries, ankle injuries, flat feet, fallen arches, corns, calluses, or need orthotics, diabetic foot care, or reconstructive foot surgery…
