Custom Orthotics
Q: My son is very active in numerous sports. Periodically he trips and complains of painful flat feet. What treatments are available?
A: As the body ages, wear and tear on the lower extremities can be a challenge, bones and joints always run the possibility of dislocation. Deer Creek Foot Care provides a team of specialists to work with all of your challenges and helps restore walking and full activities to a comfortable level.
Deep Root Calluses
Q: I have several bony prominences on the bottom of my foot. These areas frequently have hard painful calluses. How can I easily get pain relief?
A:It may be as simple as finding walking uncomfortable or seeing a simple misshapen extrusion on a toe or heel of one foot. Pain relief, isolating the root cause and removal are just a few of the treatment options to help you return to your daily living activities.
Diabetic Foot Care
Q: Why do I need to worry about the health of my feet if I have diabetes?
A:We understand and delicately handle the hard effects that diabetes has on your feet. Deer Creek Foot Care provides specialists with a great amount of experience in this area to help bring the feet back to full health while working along with your other physicians. We want to help make sure your full health is cared for in the best manner possible.
Fractures
Q: My foot is swollen and bruised with limited mobility. What could be causing these symptoms?
A:At any point in time we know that bones can break. By injury, accident or other event this can lead to an overwhelming and difficult experience managing daily tasks (for example standing and walking). We are here to help you return to normalcy with all your feet and ankle related injuries.
Heel Pain
Q: I have a painful, swollen bump on the back of my heel. This is especially irritated by shoes and some activities. What types of treatments are available for pain relief?
A: This is a common foot problem that is usually easily treated. Conservative measures include taping. Anti-inflammatory medications and shoe modifications may eventually require surgery for treatment.
Ingrown Nails
Q:Have your toenails or the skin around any of them become painfully uncomfortable?
A:Dr. Warren Trampe is here to help with treatment of any ingrown toenails or fungus that you may have acquired. Getting your feet back to their normal healthy nature as soon as possible is our highest goal.
Outpatient Surgery
Q:
I'm required to stand on my feet for long hours for my job. Over the last few years, I have developed painful corns on my toes. I've used liquid corn remover, but the problem returns. What other treatments are available?
A:
Periodic trimming and padding, along with proper selection and wearing appropriate shoes can help relieve pain. Permanent treatment usually requires a simple procedure to correct the underlying bone.
Sports Injuries
Q:
I hurt my foot from a sports injury. What options do I have other than having surgery?
A: Non-surgical treatments may include immobilizing your foot or ankle, physical therapy or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. However depending on the severity of the injury, surgery might be inevitable.
Sprains
Q:Are you facing incredible pain due to a sprain, strain or twisting trauma caused by an athletic injury?
A:Then let Dr. Warren Trampe and the specialists at Deer Creek Foot Care help with treatment and therapy. Return to normal function and your natural athleticism as quickly as possible.
Spurs and Neuromas
Q: My heels are painful in the morning when I first start to walk. Also, after I sit awhile then walk, I have heel pain. The pain tends to decrease throughout the day as I become active. How can this be treated and relieved?
A:These are common symptoms of heel spurs, or plantar fasciitis. Many treatments are available and include stretching, cortisone and custom-molded shoe inserts. Custom shoe inserts can be made to fit a variety of shoes and for specific activities.
Foot and Ankle Surgeries
Q:
If I select to have foot surgery, how long does it take to get back up and walking?
A: Typically you will start with no weight bearing for 4 weeks while wearing a splint for 1 week. After that you will move to a cast for 3 weeks. After 4 weeks you may gradually bear weight while wearing a boot. You may wear a shoe at about 8 weeks after your surgery. But keep in mind these results can vary.
Bunions, Warts and Hammer Toes
Q:Have you noticed a bone showing on the outside of your big toe? Has it become uncomfortable when putting on shoes or even in regular walking or activities?
A:Deer Creek Foot Care podiatry is here to help diagnose and treat bunions, ensuring that your walking and other activities return to full capability as quickly as possible. Our team is here to help with your stability and comfort, and will always make sure that any bunions are treated properly.
