Dr. Martina Randall, DPM's Expert Contributions
Do I need to go to the ER for ankle swelling?
The Er isnt necessary. I would make an appointment with a foot and ankle specialist for evaluation READ MORE
Ingrown toenail?
yes, that looks serious. You should see someone to have that addressed with an in office procedure READ MORE
Can chiropractors help with foot pain?
Absolutely. A specialist should, however, be called if conservative treatment fails. A specialist will take an X-ray and perform a more in-depth assessment if/when needed. READ MORE
Toe question?
Yes. You’ll likely need an X-ray to know exactly the issue, but it can be straightened. READ MORE
Foot drop?
A brace called an AFO(Ankle foot orthosis) is best for dropfoot. READ MORE
Swollen and itchy ankle?
You should make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon/ Podiatrist for this acute issue READ MORE
Is physical therapy effective after ankle surgery?
Absolutely. The ankle often stiffens after surgery and therapy can aid with recovering through the post operative phases. READ MORE
Can a chiropractor help with dislocated ankle?
No. A dislocated ankle needs to be seen by a surgeon READ MORE
Does a dislocated ankle need surgery?
Yes. Most times an ankle that has been dislocated requires surgery due to ligament injuries and potentially fractures that occur. READ MORE
How long does it take to walk again after ankle surgery?
This depends on the injury. I would speak to your surgeon. Most times you can be out of a boot and walking around 10-12 weeks post-op READ MORE
What is good for arthritis in the ankle?
Treatment is usually aimed at symptom management. Things like nsaids (ibuprofen), injections (cortisone or PRP), and finally surgical options. These all depend on the severity of the arthritis. I would see a specialist and start with X-rays. READ MORE
How do you treat ankle bone pain?
It really depends on the nature of the pain. It could be arthritis, inflammation, or tendinitis, and all of these have different treatment options READ MORE
What is the best treatment for ankle pain?
I would go see a specialist. This could be arthritis, inflammation, ligament or cartilage damage. You won’t know until you have a proper exam and imaging. READ MORE
Can a chiropractor help with ankle mobility?
Chiropractors and Physical therapist are both very helpful with mobility READ MORE
What kind of anesthesia do they use for ankle surgery?
General anesthesia is the most common. READ MORE
What anesthesia is used for ingrown toenail surgery?
Typically local anesthesia, but at times sedation can be used READ MORE
Possible broken toe/foot?
It certainly could be fractured, or it could be a "bone bruise." This is where a force is applied to a bone causing pain, bruising and welling. As long as there is no open skin laceration, it should get better with time, ice, and elevation. READ MORE
What is the average recovery time for ankle replacement surgery?
Ankle replacement timeline, 2 weeks with no weight, 2-4 weeks walking in a boot, and a gradual progression from the boot o normal shoes at the 6 weeks after surgery. Everyone is different, but I tell patients to expect a 6-8 week recovery period. READ MORE
How can I prevent getting bunions after surgery?
Typically, the type of procedure is what helps to decrease the chance of recurrence. Avoiding tight shoes is definitely a good way to decrease the likelihood of recurrence. READ MORE
How long does it take to get rid of a heel spur?
Without surgery, a heel spur cannot be removed. However, if you are referring to plantar fasciitis, often the pain stems from pain at the plantar fascia insertion, not the spur itself. READ MORE
