Blue Springs Podiatrists & Foot Specialists

Foot and ankle problems can really impact your day-to-day life. Not being able to bear weight on a foot or ankle can keep you from doing important and necessary tasks like going to the grocery store and running errands. Luckily, if you live in Blue Springs, you’re close to the podiatrists at Kansas City Foot Specialists.

We Treat Foot and Ankle Problems

The foot doctors at Kansas City Foot Specialists are trained to help solve all foot and ankle problems. We help Blue Springs patients get back on their feet fast. If you suffer from any of these foot problems, come see us:

Our On-Site Surgery Center Makes Foot Surgery Better

At Kansas City Foot Specialists, we have our own state-of-the-art surgery center. This allows us to provide top-of-the-line equipment to our patients. Our Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) is fully licensed and regulated by the state of Kansas, and lets us concentrate on foot surgery only.

Having the Surgery Center of Blue Valley on-site gives our specialized staff the ability to take care of all of your foot care needs in one place, from general consultation all the way to post-surgery follow-up. Plus, it allows our Blue Springs patients to stress less about their surgery and focus more on getting the treatment they need.

A Conservative Approach to Foot Care

At Kansas City Foot Specialists, we have our own surgery center on site, but that doesn’t mean that we jump into surgery as a solution to your foot and ankle problems. We approach our foot conditions and ankle issues with a primary focus on conservative methods.

We fabricate and design functional orthotics, and our foot care center offers footwear, pads, supports, and lotions to help you take the best possible care of your feet. We only resort to surgery as a last resort. If your condition does require surgery, you’re in good hands with our experienced podiatrists, the latest surgical techniques, and state-of-the-art technology.

Foot Problems Can Be Complicated

Think about all that your feet have to do. Balance, propel, twist, turn, bend, pound, lift,  stop…the list goes on. It’s no wonder the foot was designed as a complicated piece of biological machinery. The human foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles, and numerous tendons.  When you think of the abuse our feet take, and the intricate structure involved, it’s no wonder that 75% of all Americans will experience some sort of foot problem in their lifetime.

Why See a Podiatrist Vs. a Medical Doctor?

Considering how intricate feet are, if you have a foot problem, it’s best to see a doctor who specializes in feet. A podiatrist is a highly trained foot and ankle specialist who has received in-depth training to address problems, injuries, and complaints of the feet and ankles and perform surgery to fix these problems.

To become a doctor of podiatric medicine, your podiatrist has completed podiatry-specific training in medical school, clinical rotations in medicine and surgery, and a residency in podiatric medicine and surgery. A medical doctor has a much broader base of training and education. Their training and education on feet and ankles may be covered a few weeks, while your podiatrist invests years in understanding the complexities of foot and ankle problems.
