Dr. Sophia Stocks's Expert Contributions
Can you walk on a dislocated foot?
Absolutely not! Further weight bearing on an injured foot of presumed dislocation can cause more shifting of the anatomical displacement of bones, ligaments, tendons, and joints. See a podiatrist immediately if you have any form of injury to the foot or suspect dislocation. READ MORE
Can you fix toe bunions without surgery?
Bunions are a structural change to your feet and only surgery can fix the structure. you can however invest in orthotics (shoe inserts) that can help the biomechanics of your feet so that they can function better and slow down the progression of a bunion deformity. Even after surgery, without proper mechanics of the foot or an accurate orthosis- you can risk having recurring bunions. READ MORE
