Most people don’t realize just how serious foot or ankle pain can become. In our experience, it usually takes most people over a month to finally see a specialist for a foot or ankle concern. The prevailing thought is… the pain will go away on its own. That rarely happens, mainly because we use our feet every day.
If people knew how much of a problem long-standing foot or ankle pain can become, most would address it sooner. Long-term damage is a risk of ignoring foot or ankle pain.
If you or a loved one has been experiencing a foot or ankle problem that just won’t subside, then this report may be the most important information you read about feet and ankles.
We were only blessed with two feet, which means keeping them in tip- top shape is critical. Having one go bad for an extended period of time not only affects your daily disposition it can lead to other more serious problems.
Hopefully you haven’t experienced a significant foot or ankle problem that lasted for years. You can’t imagine how frustrating it is. Besides being in pain all the time, the other concerns we’ve seen are weight gain, depression, back pain and diabetes, just to name a few. Most people take their feet for granted, until, something significant happens to them.
Our mantra is, the sooner you get a foot or ankle concern addressed by a specialist, the less chance of a serious problem. We’d be rich if we had a quarter for every time a patient of ours stated, “I waited to long to see you.”
We hope if nothing else, this report encourages you to take action on a foot or ankle problem…fast. Healthy feet are critical to your physical and mental health. The risk of waiting is long-term suffering and possible damage.
