Our Services

Podiatry services at Bryn Mawr Hospital begin with an examination and diagnosis. An X-ray, MRI or other diagnostic test may be required. Once the cause of your pain is identified, your podiatrist will recommend the proper medical or surgical treatment. For some patients—diabetics, for example—treatment may be ongoing. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include:

• Professional diabetic foot care so that serious problems can be averted
• Wound care for diabetics
• Orthotics (computer-designed and customized shoe inserts to correct foot alignment)
• Laser therapy for warts and fungus nails
• Surgery, when necessary, to repair fractures, hammer toes, bunions, flat feet or severe pressure ulcers
• Extracorporal shock wave therapy (ESWT), noninvasive treatment for heel-related problems like chronic heel pain

If you experience foot pain or discomfort, talk to an expert at Bryn Mawr Hospital. An accurate diganosis and treatment can return you to pain-free activity and give you a better understanding of how to take care of your feet.
