How your podiatrists in Mullica Hill, NJ, can help you and your feet
Your feet need special care, because they carry your weight and help you live an active life. For your feet to feel their best, you should visit your foot doctor. Yearly visits to your foot doctor can help keep your feet feeling great.
Dr. Michael Cherella and Dr. Kyle Shaw at Mullica Hill Foot And Ankle in Mullica Hill, NJ, offer a wide range of podiatry services to help you and your feet.
Your foot doctor is an expert at diagnosis and treatment of toe, foot, and ankle conditions, including:
- Bunions
- Hammertoe
- Ingrown toenails
- Toenail fungus
- Plantar fasciitis
- Flat feet
- Lateral ankle instability

If you have a chronic condition like diabetes, it can affect your feet. Diabetes can cause:
- Loss of sensation in your feet
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Loss of blood flow to your feet and toes
- Poor or delayed healing of open cuts or blisters
So, when should you see your foot doctor? When:
- Your ability to walk or stand are impacted by foot pain
- You have lost stability and lose your balance
- Your feet hurt and you can’t get relief
- You have a fever that is associated with a foot infection
- It’s too painful to put on shoes
- You can’t remain active because of foot pain
Your foot doctor offers several effective therapies and treatments for different toe, foot, or ankle conditions. For example:
If you have a large, painful bunion, your foot doctor may recommend a bunionectomy to remove the bunion.
If you have a hammertoe, flat feet, or plantar fasciitis, your foot doctor may recommend a custom orthotic to manage your condition.
If you have toenail fungus, your foot doctor may recommend laser toenail fungus treatment to kill the fungus and heal your toes.
If you have a strain, sprain, or fracture, your foot doctor may recommend assistive devices including a walking cast, boot, or crutches to take weight off your feet or ankles and aid healing.
These are just a few of the reasons why you should visit your foot doctor regularly.
