Orthotics can be very effective in treating conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, bursitis, diabetic foot ulcers, and heel pain. They provide extra cushioning and/or stability to keep feet in proper alignment, and can alleviate foot pain and improve the function of your feet.
Orthotics are different than regular inserts as a break-in period may be necessary, depending on which type of orthotic you are using and the health of your feet. If your legs hurt or if you have sore feet, it could be due to wearing them longer than you should during the first few weeks. Participating in intense activities too quickly or wearing them in shoes that have stretched out or broken down could also cause problems. Your feet need time to adjust to the new foot posture, which can take three to four weeks.
The doctor has great “bedside manners” when talking to patients. Great staff and comfortable atmosphere.
The staff at Dallas Podiatry Works could not have been more courteous, helpful, and professional in doing their job. They made me feel comfortable when I was there, which is certainly appreciated. They answered all the questions that I had and just made each visit the most pleasurable that it could be. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing this type of foot care.
I would highly recommend Dr. Brook to anyone with foot problems–especially problems that stump other podiatrists. He really is very caring and very knowledgeable.
Dr. Joel Brook and the staff were nice and helpful. Though I was a new patient, I got right in as soon as they were open in my preferred location. They diagnosed the problem and provided medicines along with a perfect gel bandage so I could keep exercising while my toes healed. My toes already hurt less and look a little better each day. If I have future issues, I will be a repeat customer. Here’s hoping I don’t, but at least I know my feet are in good hands.
I visited this office for an ingrown toe nail a few years ago. After seeing another doctor, who made it worse, he referred me to Dallas Podiatry Works. The doctor there was able to fix my problem. I’m not great with reviews, all I can tell you is that this doctor and staff will have you up and running or doing whatever it is you do in no time. You will be in great hands. You’d be a fool not to use this doctor. Now its time to visit him again for the other toe.
Been having bad ankle pains for 6 months was referred here and it was a great visit ladies in the front desk medical assistants and the Doctor were all very friendly and make you feel very comfortable.
