Top Signs Your Feet Need Professional Attention

At Avon Podiatry Associates in Avon, CT, Dr. Richard Grayson is a trusted foot doctor (also known as a podiatrist). He’s seen many foot health issues over the years and knows that they can be scary if not managed effectively. Thankfully, his crew of experts know how to handle issues that cause symptoms like the following:

Persistent Pain That Won't Shake

 Do you regularly feel a lot of pain in your feet and aren’t sure what’s going on? That’s understandable — sometimes, your feet might just be worn out a bit — but it could be caused by more persistent issues. So pay close attention: it could be symptomatic of problems that could severely impact you.

Sudden Changes in Nail Appearance

 Your nails should look basically the same without any major changes, but what if they look yellow? How about flaking skin? Problems with the skin around the nails? All these issues indicate real problems with your feet that must be managed by our team ASAP: you deserve it.

Ingrown Nails

 Let’s get it out of the way right away: if you have ingrown toenails, come to our clinic now! Schedule an emergency visit if the pain is severe enough. Chronic, i.e., regularly occurring, ingrown nails indicate underlying foot issues that you need to manage, such as gait problems or balance concerns.

Swollen Feet

 At Avon Podiatry Associates, Dr. Grayson can help with swollen feet. This problem, particularly chronic in older adults or people with obesity, can be very uncomfortable and might indicate serious health problems that could linger for years to come.

Problems Walking

 Walking should be as easy as breathing: natural, flowing, and comfortable. When it’s not, you have a problem with your feet. These could be as simple as foot pain, gait issues, or even balance concerns — so take it seriously.

Numbness and Tingling

 We’ve all sat funny before and put our foot “to sleep,” a funny numbness that feels like pins and needles. However, persistent numbness and tingling is a serious issue — it could indicate blood-flow problems — so make sure you take care of yourself and your feet to minimize this danger.
