According to a survey conducted by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, people over the age of 65 who had foot surgery to correct painful foot problems were very happy with the results.

• They were more active than they had been prior to the surgery.
• They now enjoy social and recreational activities more than they had in the past.
• 85 percent said they would recommend surgery to seniors with painful foot problems.

Many people shy away from considering foot surgery because they’ve heard stories about difficult recoveries of friends or relatives who had surgery years ago. But with advances in surgical techniques and technologies, less-invasive procedures are now available that can have you back on your feet in a much shorter time period.

A foot problem should not keep you from getting the most out of these times! You’ve worked hard all your life, and you owe it to yourself to enjoy it.

If you have any level of foot or ankle pain, make an appointment today with a foot and ankle surgeon.
