A broken foot occurs when one or more bones in the foot crack or fracture, often caused by falls, sports injuries, accidents, or repetitive stress. Pain, swelling, and difficulty walking are common signs. Treatment may involve a splint, which is a supportive device that holds the foot in place while it heals, or a surgical boot, which provides stability and protection during recovery. A chiropodist can diagnose the severity of the injury, recommend appropriate treatment, monitor healing progress, and guide you on safe steps back to activity. If you have broken your foot, it is suggested that you seek professional care promptly from a chiropodist, who can provide effective treatment solutions.
