Frequently Asked Questions

What services does a podiatrist provide?

Podiatrists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower legs. At Foot Specialists of Memorial, our services include custom orthotics, EPAT shock wave therapy, neuroma treatment, Lapiplasty bunion surgery, and care for a wide range of foot and ankle problems.

Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?

In most cases you do not need a referral to schedule an appointment with our podiatrists. However, some insurance plans may require one, so we recommend checking with your provider before your visit to understand your coverage.

What is EPAT shock wave therapy used for?

EPAT is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissue. It is commonly used for chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and heel pain, offering relief without surgery or downtime.

How do custom orthotics differ from store-bought insoles?

Custom orthotics are individually designed from precise measurements of your feet to address your specific biomechanics and conditions. Unlike generic insoles, they provide targeted support, correct alignment issues, and offer superior, long-lasting comfort.

When is foot surgery necessary?

Surgery is generally recommended only after conservative treatments have failed to provide adequate relief, or for conditions like advanced bunions that cannot be corrected non-surgically. Our podiatrists always pursue the least invasive effective option first.

Can you treat sports-related foot and ankle injuries?

Yes. We treat a variety of sports injuries, including sprains, tendinitis, and overuse conditions. Our therapies, including EPAT and custom orthotics, are well suited to helping athletes recover and return to activity safely.

How do I know which service is right for my foot pain?

The best way to determine the right treatment is through a professional evaluation. Our podiatrists will examine your foot, diagnose the underlying cause, and recommend the most appropriate service or combination of treatments for your needs.
