Get Foot Surgery Out of Your Way!

If you love to put things off until the last possible minute, don’t worry, you are not alone! However, when it comes to your health putting off treatment can have serious consequences and can result in permanent damage. In regards to your feet, those consequences can be drastic even leading to the loss of mobility. That’s why you should pledge right here and right now to schedule your foot surgery if recommended before the end of the year!

The end of the year can be the best time to have surgery and here’s why…

• You’ll have time off. The end of the year is filled with paid holidays and extra vacation time you haven’t used. Plenty of companies shut down during the holiday or do not allow rollover on your vacation days. With all of this extra time off from work you will have plenty of time to have surgery and heal properly before returning to work.

• Insurance deductibles are low. At the end of the year you most likely have reached your deductible amount for the year. After the New Year the deductible will reset and you will have to pay more money out of pocket. Surgery is often put off due to cost, but if your deductibles are low the end of the year can be the best time to get your health on the right track.

• Sports season will break. If you are a member of an organized sports team, most activities have a break during the holiday season. This will give your feet more time to heal and even participate in physical therapy. You won’t have to let down your team by missing out on any games and you will be perfectly healthy for the new season.

Surgical operations can always be scary, but putting off surgery can be extremely damaging to the health of your feet. If you are suffering from a foot or ankle related injury that may require surgery contact our office at (713) 467-8886 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Jeffrey Bowman or visit his website at www.houstofootspecialists.com for explanations and videos of surgery.
