A common misconception many people suffering from foot and ankle pain have is that – if they consult with a specialist – surgery will be recommended. This is not true because in most cases, a recommendation for foot and ankle surgery is the last resort. There are many conservative treatments available at OCOrthopedic+ such as modifying footwear, ortho/inserts, bracing, boot, cast, physical therapy, injections, and medications.
