Aching Feet?
Dr. Lisa Reinicke,
Podiatric Medicine and Surgery
When you have a foot problem, a podiatrist works with you to provide treatment to get you back on your feet. At NorthPointe Clinic, Dr. Lisa Reinicke, board certified in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, sees patients for a range of foot-related problems. Dr. Reinicke, who has been in practice since 1990, treats infants to seniors.
Podiatrists see it all when it comes to foot and ankle ailments.
- Muscular, skeletal and nerve problems resulting in pain and foot deformities.
- Overuse injuries such as Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and stress fractures.
- Skin problems including athlete’s foot, corns, calluses and warts.
- Surgery to correct foot and ankle deformities, bone spurs, or neuromas (pinched nerves).
- Relieves foot pain, sores, swelling and numbness with a range of therapies including medication, supportive footwear/orthotic inserts, physical therapy and minimally-invasive surgery.
- Skin grafting to treat difficult-to-heal skin ulcers.
- Toenail problems, heel pain, bunions and hammertoes.
- Diabetic patients. Poor circulation and loss of sensation in the feet heightens the risk for nonhealing wounds. Patients with diabetes should see a podiatrist regularly for foot examinations.
- Pediatric patients. Podiatrists help children with walking problems caused by flat feet, in-toeing and knock-knees. Treatments include special supports, bracing and surgery.
Many people wait until the pain is unbearable before seeking help, but you don’t need to suffer with foot pain. Call NorthPointe Clinic at 815-525-4500 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Reinicke if your feet are slowing you down.
