Do you need expert foot and ankle care in the Twin Cities or greater Mankato area? Choose the podiatry clinic that does it all: Family Podiatry Clinic, headed by Dr. Darren Cowl!
Family Podiatry Clinic Treats All Foot Conditions
Family Podiatry Clinic treats all common foot and ankle conditions, including Achilles tendinitis, athlete's foot, blisters, bursitis, calluses, claw toe, corns, diabetic neuropathy, flat feet, gout, heel spur, Morton's neuroma, nail fungus, neuropathic arthropathy, plantar fasciitis, sesamoiditis, and sprains.
Family Podiatry Clinic Provides Foot and Ankle Surgery
“We provide all forms of routine and basic footcare – but we also do so much more,” explained Dr. Cowl. “Our commitment to providing comprehensive foot and ankle care means we provide many more services than a podiatrist typically offers.
“Our diverse range of specialties of the foot and ankle requires each Family Podiatry Clinic doctor to undergo extensive training. It also demands that they devote their entire residency to foot and ankle surgery – truly specializing in it, rather than taking a more general approach to medicine as traditional MD or DO students do. All that added training is what really makes a difference. It lets us provide treatments for patients that are superior to what they would normally receive from orthopedic surgeons.”
Bunion. Hammertoe. Plantar warts. Family Podiatry Clinic offers surgical and conservative treatments for these and all other common foot conditions. But because the clinic’s doctors have studied surgery so extensively, they are also able to address more complex injuries affecting tendons, ligaments like the plantar fascia, joints, and all other tissues within the feet and ankles.
“We can surgically reconstruct the arch of the foot when noninvasive treatment isn’t enough to correct the issue,” added Dr. Cowl. “We can also treat displaced fractures, which frequently require delicate surgical placement of metal plates and screws. In fact, we provide every type of orthopedic foot surgery just shy of ankle replacement – and if we confirm that you do need that procedure, then you can rest assured we’ll refer you to the very best surgeon for your needs.”
Family Podiatry Clinic Provides Custom Orthotics, Too
“Many of our patients specifically seek us out because they want surgery,” Dr. Cowl continued. “If you have spent several years dealing with an aggravating case of an ingrown toenail, then a quick and straightforward surgical procedure – which we can perform right here in our office – can finally give you the relief you deserve.
“We also offer a wide range of injection therapies for conditions such as arthritis, nerve impingement, and tendonitis. Those injections usually become even more effective when they’re administered alongside orthotics: special custom shoe inserts, which help feet and ankles function their best.
“Off-the-shelf orthotics are often enough to treat minor issues. But if your condition is severe enough to call for custom orthotics, then Family Podiatry Clinic is the reliable partner you want to seek out. We are able to cast for every custom orthotic we prescribe right here in our clinic, and can quickly modify them to optimize comfort as needed. For example, if your feet prove unable to tolerate 100 percent correction, then we can still give you enormous relief from pain after adjusting your orthotics to provide a lesser – albeit still effective – degree of correction.”
