A simple bandage applied properly to immobilize the injured part along with some medication to reduce swelling and inflammation may be all you need to feel so much better. Sometimes a special immobilization shoe is necessary to reduce body weight stress off the injured part. Sometimes a cast may be indicated to truly put the injured tendon at rest for a while. Finally, in many cases, long term, a custom molded orthotic apppliance is most important to reduce the likelihood of further injury and support the injured part to allow healing while the patient is up and on the foot. Make your appointment by calling the office or simply conveniently make your appointment online, as soon as possible to the time of the injury.
Timely treatment is essential to reduce post injury scar tissue, pain and disability.
