Your feet are the foundation of your entire body—so when something goes wrong, it can affect everything from your balance to your daily comfort. At Prestige Podiatry, with locations in Indianapolis and Carmel, IN, Dr. Jeffrey Agricola specializes in both surgical and non-surgical treatments designed to restore mobility, relieve pain, and get you back on your feet—literally.
Understanding the Source of Foot Dysfunction
Foot problems can arise from many causes: sports injuries, arthritis, deformities like bunions or hammertoes, or chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. Left untreated, these issues can interfere with everyday movement and cause long-term discomfort. That's why it's essential to address not just the symptoms, but the root cause.
Non-Surgical Solutions: The First Line of Defense
In many cases, surgery isn’t the first step—nor is it always necessary. At Prestige Podiatry, we begin with conservative, non-invasive approaches whenever possible. These may include:
- Custom orthotics to support proper alignment and relieve pressure
- Physical therapy to improve strength, flexibility, and stability
- Footwear guidance to reduce strain and improve gait mechanics
- Cortisone injections for targeted pain relief
- Laser therapy to promote healing in soft tissues
For many patients, these strategies can significantly reduce pain and restore function without the need for surgery.
When Surgery Is the Right Option
If conservative treatments aren’t enough—or if there’s a structural issue that simply can’t be corrected without intervention—Dr. Agricola may recommend surgical treatment. Some of the most common foot surgeries include:
- Bunion correction
- Heel spur removal
- Tendon or ligament repair
- Hammertoe correction
- Arthroscopic procedures for joint issues
Dr. Agricola is known for using advanced, minimally invasive techniques that reduce downtime and promote quicker recovery—so you can get back to doing the things you love, pain-free.
