FOOT & ANKLE DISORDERS:

More than 75% of Americans will experience foot or ankle pain at some time during their life.  Job requirements, exercising, shoewear and other medical problems may all play a part in causing the pain..
 
 If you notice pain that lingers for more than several days, or suspect a problem, it’s always wise to seek the advice of a physician such as an orthopaedic surgeon who is specially trained in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle disorders. An orthopaedic surgeon can also evaluate the knees, hips and even the lower back which might be contributing to the pain in your feet.  The speed at which you recover depends partly upon how soon you seek intervention from a medical doctor.
 
 Kurtis Hort, M.D. is board certified by the American Board of Orthopeadic Surgeons and is fellowship trained in foot and ankle reconstruction.
