Podiatry at Anna Jaques Hospital Newburyport
Our feet are some of the hardest working parts of our bodies. Not only do they get us where we need to go, but they also do the important work of bearing our entire body weight. Our feet can also give us clues to our overall health. That’s why it’s important to make sure they’re working at their best.
Fortunately, most foot problems can be improved or resolved, often without surgery. If you’re experiencing foot problems, the podiatrists at Anna Jaques Hospital can help.
Podiatry is a branch of medicine that focuses on the ankles, feet and lower legs. Podiatrists can diagnose, treat and manage conditions that involve these body parts. The podiatrists at Anna Jaques Hospital combine years of experience with the latest advances in medical technology to treat a wide range of injuries and get you back on your feet. They also work closely with our Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine Center, so your foot problems get specialty care.
Some people will put off seeing a doctor about foot or ankle issues because they’re not sure where to go or if the problem is serious enough to warrant a visit. Our experts help relieve your pain or discomfort so you can go back to doing the things you love. If you experience any of the following symptoms, consider seeking podiatric care:
- If it hurts to stand when you get up in the morning
- If you have pain in your arches
- If it hurts to wear your favorite shoes
- If you feel numbness, burning or sharp pain in your toes
The podiatry team at Anna Jaques offers several treatments for foot and ankle conditions, including the following:
