Podiatry at Kern Medical

Foot and Ankle Care

Experiencing foot pain is no small matter. Feet are our foundational support and are exercised daily, with the typical person walking up to 10,000 steps per day. This means foot pain can significantly hamper your productivity and enjoyment of life. Kern Medical’s podiatrists offer many effective treatments for foot and ankle injuries and conditions, working closely with each patient to help them avoid future foot pain problems.

Podiatry Treatments

Kern Medical is here to help with your foot pain, whether it developed suddenly from an accident or slowly over time from conditions you weren’t even aware were affecting you. No matter the cause of your foot pain, our Podiatrists are highly skilled in various treatment techniques to remedy your condition.

Tips for Your Upcoming Podiatry Appointment

If you’ve been referred to a podiatrist, it is likely because your primary care provider wants you to seek the care of a specialist after your condition fails to improve. Before you come in for your appointment, make a list of your symptoms, when they occurred, the severity, and any other factors you think are relevant. Feel free to take notes during your appointment, as much of what your doctor will say will center on proper foot care and how to prevent further aggravation to your lower extremities.
