Podiatry Treatment Options
There are many different ways podiatrists can help fix your foot problems. These include providing options that will reduce the foot pain you’re experiencing or to strengthen your muscles so your feet can handle more use. Some of the treatment options include:
Medication: In cases where pain or inflammation is a concern, Satori’s practitioners may recommend medication to provide relief and help manage your symptoms effectively.
Physical Therapy: For foot conditions that need rehabilitation and improved muscle strength, physical therapy approaches help you regain mobility and function.
Orthotics: Custom-made orthotics are a cornerstone of podiatry. These specialized shoe inserts or devices are designed to correct abnormalities, improve foot mechanics and alleviate discomfort caused by conditions like flat feet.
