Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • Why Surgery?

    Conservative treatment of many foot and ankle problems often produces temporary relief of pain. If bony misalignment or pain persists, surgery is often the most definitive answer to provide long term relief. While surgery is not for everyone, Dr. DiPrima and his staff and tell you if are an appropriate surgical candidate.

  • Is Foot Surgery Painful?

    Believe it or not, the pain after most procedures is well controlled with anti-inflammatory and or pain medication to keep discomfort to a minimum.

  • Is Special Care Needed After Surgery?

    Some patients require post-operative care, such as physical therapy, to hasten healing. If your condition is caused by faulty alignment, custom orthotics are necessary to re-establish normal foot function otherwise, the foot condition may return.

  • Does Foot Surgery Require Hospitalization?

    Rarely. Most surgical procedures are performed in the office or an outpatient setting under local or managed anesthesia.

  • What Do I Wear on My Foot After Surgery?

    Most patients have a bandage on their foot and a surgical shoe. Some procedures require a removable cast boot or a fiberglass cast. After sufficient healing, most patients resume wearing their usual footwear. 

  • Can Diabetics and Older Patients Undergo Foot Surgery?

    Foot surgery is not contraindicated if diabetics are under good control. Older patients can undergo foot surgery if their overall health is good, which can be determined after consultation with your primary care physician.

Heel and Arch Pain

Heel and arch pain is a common complaint from many of our patients. Plantar fasciitis often attributed to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. Let us evaluate your arch pain and find the treatment that works best for you. Often times painful conditions like heel spurs can be treated with less invasive options like stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy. One alternative option for heel pain is an outpatient procedure known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and it painless. It allows strong shock waves to hit the heel area, and it produces a healing response in the body.
