Frequently Asked Questions
Surgery is only recommended in extreme cases, after we have exhausted all alternative treatments. While it is possible to treat some patients without surgery, the answer to this question will depend on your specific ailment and what our specialist feels will work best for you.
While surgery is extremely effective in many cases and can be a huge help when it comes to recovery, it is not suitable for all patients. There are a number of factors to consider before recommending surgery such as age, existing medical conditions, and chances of success.
Heel pain can be an indication of a number of different foot problems. It’s always best to speak to our Durban foot specialist rather than self-diagnosing through Google.
