Physical therapists and Podiatrists offer different types of treatment for foot and ankle conditions. At Warner Orthopedics, we have an expert physical therapist and a highly trained podiatrist, Dr. Kyle Lindow, who work together to find the right course of treatment for you – to get you back on your feet faster. <\/b>Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How Our Podiatrist & Physical Therapy Team Work Together<\/h2>

Physical therapists work to restore your full-body range of motion, meaning that they assess each part of your musculoskeletal system to see if it\u2019s functioning optimally, and make adjustments where needed. They utilize a range of tools and methods to do so – ranging from targeted exercises, joint manipulation and stretches, dry needling, etc.<\/p>

While physical therapists do not specialize in one area of the body like podiatrists do, they can often inform a podiatrist\u2019s treatment plan or carry it out. Sometimes, foot and ankle issues can stem from gait issues – making adjustments to the knees, hip, or even spine necessary with specialized exercises and stretches.<\/p>

In our clinic, we believe in a well-rounded physical therapy practice, so our podiatrist works closely with our physical therapy team to give you the best results possible.<\/b><\/p>

Podiatrists specialize in treatment of the foot and ankle. They will evaluate the overall structure of your foot, diagnose any condition you have, and recommend treatment (which can include referring you to physical therapy.)<\/p>

Podiatrists can tell you if your recovery has reached the point where you can utilize active recovery, or if you need to immobilize your foot. Physical therapists should be able to tell you this as well, but Podiatrists will be able to order imaging, and other tests – and analyze the results. Podiatrists will be able to offer injections, surgery and wound care as needed as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Differences in Treatment<\/h2>

Physical therapists will generally work with the body to exercise and strengthen certain joints or muscle groups to increase flexibility or stability as indicated and to restore function. Podiatrists, on the other hand, may recommend orthopedic footwear that will slowly adapt your foot shape and function over time, and may even recommend surgery. However, the best situation is when you have a team with different philosophies and approaches who are willing to work together to offer you the best possible solution. This is our goal with our highly trained and coordinated team approach to your care.<\/b><\/p>

Surgery isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing – if it\u2019s needed, then our team will use measures to have as little impact as possible, and will work closely with our physical therapy team to ensure you have a quick and effective recovery. Therapy can completely improve your outcome from any podiatric surgery.<\/p>

If you\u2019re experiencing difficulty walking and have foot and ankle pain, make your appointment with Warner Orthopedics & Wellness today for your assessment, diagnosis, and treatment plan. <\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
