How We Diagnose Foot Pain

At Advanced Foot & Ankle, Dr. Edward Sharrer performs a thorough clinical evaluation to determine the source of foot pain. In-house digital X-rays may be used to assess bone structure, joint alignment, and potential injuries.

A precise diagnosis is essential to creating an effective treatment plan, since foot pain can come from multiple overlapping conditions.

How We Treat Foot Pain

Treatment for foot pain begins with identifying the underlying cause of your symptoms. Whether your pain is caused by an injury, overuse, arthritis, nerve irritation, or a structural foot condition, Dr. Edward Sharrer develops a personalized treatment plan focused on relieving pain, restoring function, and improving your quality of life.

Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include:

• Conservative Pain Management: Non-surgical treatments designed to reduce pain, control inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing process.
• Custom Orthotics: Prescription orthotics help improve foot alignment, reduce pressure on painful areas, and provide better support during walking and daily activities.
• Stretching and Rehabilitation: Targeted exercises can improve flexibility, strengthen the muscles that support your feet, and restore normal movement.
• Supportive Footwear Recommendations: Properly fitted shoes with the right support can reduce stress on your feet, improve stability, and help prevent recurring pain.
• Activity Modification: Temporary changes to your daily routine or exercise program may be recommended to reduce strain and allow injured tissues to heal.
• Advanced Treatment Options: If conservative treatments do not provide lasting relief, Dr. Sharrer will discuss additional treatment options based on your diagnosis and treatment goals.

Our goal is to relieve your foot pain, restore healthy movement, and help you return to the activities you enjoy as quickly and safely as possible.
