Foothills Podiatry offers in-clinic foreign body removal services for patients who have accidentally stepped on objects like glass, sharp needles, or thorns. Dr. Chen is experienced in managing such cases promptly and effectively to prevent further complications, such as infections or prolonged discomfort.

To ensure a pain-free experience, we use local anesthetic during the removal procedure. This allows us to access and extract the foreign body with precision and minimal discomfort for the patient. Whether the object is superficial or deeply embedded, our approach prioritizes patient comfort while providing the highest standard of care.

For cases where the foreign object is not easily visible or palpable, we utilize our in-house X-ray machine to pinpoint its exact location. This advanced imaging technology allows us to accurately assess the depth and position of the object, ensuring a safe and thorough removal process.
