At Union County Hospital, we understand how debilitating a foot or ankle problem can be. Whether the condition is chronic or acute, if your mobility is compromised because of pain, you should find out what kind of relief is available through a Podiatrist. Generally, conservative approaches to improve flexibility and provide pain relief are all a patient needs. If, however, conservative treatment is not effective, advanced surgical repair is available through Union County Hospital.
Patients with diabetes are particularly at risk for foot conditions and should take extra care. Consulting with a physician regularly is encouraged for anyone with diabetes.
Dr. Jeffery Deacon, Surgical Podiatrist, specializes in treating problems of the feet and ankles, including hereditary issues, injuries, and problems that can result from chronic conditions, such as diabetes. We begin with a conservative treatment approach to improve flexibility and provide pain relief. If conservative treatment is not effective, we can provide advanced surgical repair.
