If you kick someone in the rear & your foot gets stuck do you see an orthpaedist or a podiatrist? Why?

Physical therapists are experts in the analysis of gait.  Gait is basically the mechanics of your walking pattern.  Abnormal walking patterns, limping, etc can be quite complicated at times.  They can be from unequal leg lengths, bony/structural deformities, poor flexibility and/or strength, foot/ankle issues, poor posture, bad habits as well as issues with the cervical spine (neck), the ear, etc.  As you can see problems with walking and the mechanics of your walking pattern and a Physical Therapist (PT) would be the best one to evaluate this for you.  A PT would then be able to develop a treatment plan to address any findings that were found during your examination.

You can go to an podiatrist, and they can take a mold of your feet and prescribe you insoles that are made specifically for you to correct this. If I'm not mistaken, there is a company that does this in a kit, and you wouldn't require an appointment, only a few minutes of your time. They send the material for you to stand on to prepare the molds for your insoles. Sorry I don't have the name for ya. Good luck.

you may have a bone spur or bunion. Should be evaluated by a foot doctor.

Standing too long on your feet. Walking alot. Ill fitting shoes. Poor circulation. Just some of many reasons. If it persists see a podiatrist.:)

You could always ask your surgeon. He/she would be the one with the correct answer. I work for Orthopaedic surgeons, but I would not make a suggestion. Sorry

Sometimes if you have too much pressure, like being a little over weight or being on your feet too long.  It will eventually go away if not check with a foot doctor.

It could either be a condition called meralgia paresthetica, which I didn't think would move down to the foot, or a lumbar disk prolapse which could indeed cause the symptoms in the foot. Go see an orthopedic doctor.

Actually the previous answer has some truth. Some people are longer healers. You need to be clear and discuss you pain issues with your Physician. You need to tell you Dr. what you are feeling and be honest in whether or not you properly and completely followed each and every post operative instruction that was given to you. I.E. if you were walking more than you should have at a time earlier than specified, this can cause added pain and healing time.\n\nDid you happen to go to a Podiatric Surgeon. If not perhaps you should look into finding one as they are very skilled and trained in the foot.

No, orthotics help correct your foot posture if you have flat feet or if your feet overpronate when you run or walk.  Strengthening the muscles helps, but the orthotics help support the bones of the foot and helps keep the muscles in a more optimal position for activities like running.

Orthopedic Doctor, or sports medicine

another good thing to do is to check in with a certain doctor (i am not sure what the name is ) but they make orthodics which are shoe inserts made for u so that they can help your stance, my legs and feet always hurt until i got custom orthodics, so along with the stretching and yoga this will help

Real injury. David Beckham had it and Gary Neville had it. This is a common football injury. Ask anyone working in A&E. The metatarsal is the long bone from the ankle to the toe. There are five of them. Any nasty blow to the foot could do it or if someone steps on your foot while you are moving or twisting it.\n\nIf you are not a sports person, you could be walking reasonably well after a week although it depends on whether the bone is still well aligned or displaced

If you have health insurance, go see a Podiatrist (not an Orthopedist).  I have pretty bad pronation but I didn't know it and thought the pain was from an old injury.  I went to an Orthopedist because my knee hurt in addition to my ankles and feet.  He put me on stationary bike for a hour a couple times a week and billed my insurance company.  Didn't work at all.  Finally I went to a podiatrist, he took an x-ray, a plaster cast of my feet, and two weeks later I had custom insoles ($495 out of pocket, ouch) but no more pain anywhere.  I can-not recommend it enough.

What?  Who's this?  What's going on?  Where am I?  Ouch.  I just stubbed my toe.  Oh, for the love of Pete!

Depends where it is...I'm not a physio but I've sprained ankle ligamaments a few times and it was painful to walk on and was swoolen fairly badly.

It's not a matter of favorites.  Different brands cater to different foot shapes and problems.  Do your feet roll in or out when you run?  Do you have knee problems or high arches?  A full-service athletic shoe store clerk should be able to help you find the type that will work best for your physical anatomy.
