At Advanced Foot Care Center, with Dr. Allan Rosenthal as our primary foot doctor, you can get treatment in Ridgefield, CT, to keep your feet strong and healthy. However, it can be tricky to know when you need expert help and when you can skip out on a visit to the doctor.

Spoiler alert: Most of the time, you’ll probably need to work with a physician for your feet.

Numbness in the Feet 

 Sure, we all stand up after sitting and feel the “pins and needles” of a foot that’s fallen asleep. However, general numbness, pain, or swelling that comes and goes without warning is a concern. An infection or circulation concerns cause a lack of blood flow to the limb. You must take this problem seriously and get hands-on therapy to avoid issues.

Nail Fungus Infections 

 Fungal infections on the feet (particularly on the toes) can spread rampantly and cause thickened and discolored nails. Even worse, it can spread to other parts of the feet, making this problem even more of an issue. Don’t let fungus spread for a moment longer than necessary, but talk to our team of specialists to improve your recovery. 

Continuous Heel Pain 

 A little heel pain after a long walk is normal. However, podiatrists suggest you visit a foot doctor in Ridgefield, CT, if your pain is continuous. Typically, we’ll do an intensive X-ray to determine where your problem develops and create a therapy plan that makes the most sense for your recovery.

It’s important to visit us immediately to get the care you need. Our team will ensure your ankle is strong and provide various treatments to reduce pain.
