Are you suffering from debilitating foot or ankle pain? Has your NYC podiatrist recommended foot surgery, but you aren't sure when to do it? Here is why now is the perfect time to get your foot surgery done!
Depending on your specific foot or ankle problem, you have likely gone through a wide range of different treatment methods to try and fix the issue and alleviate your discomfort. If you are currently reading this article, then it is also likely that none of these have worked, and you are thinking about turning to surgical treatment. Foot surgery is an option for many patients who suffer from various issues such as:
- Bunions
- Hammertoe
- Plantar fasciitis
- Foot or ankle fractures
- Many more
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the forthcoming end of the insurance year, now is the best time to get that surgery done that you have either been avoiding or putting off.

COVID Downtime to Heal
Honestly, there are not a lot of positives to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Being stuck inside, wearing a mask, and needing to socially distance ourselves from our friends and family is quite difficult for all of us. However, sometimes we need to look at the silver lining to give our mood a positive boost! One of the silver linings of the pandemic, at least from the perspective of medical procedures, is the increase in downtime to heal.
If you have been putting off your foot procedure due to the desire to be mobile and live your normal life, now is the perfect time to get that surgery done. While we are all stuck at home, we might as well make ourselves productive. Being stuck at home due to COVID is not much different than being stuck at home due to surgical recovery. Once you have recovered, and the pandemic is finally over, you can get back to living your life to the fullest, without any pain coming from your feet.
End of the Insurance Year
As the year begins to come to a close, so too does all of our insurance. Depending on how your insurance is set up, you may have an annual limit to how much can be spent on certain procedures. If this is the case, there is no better time than now to use up the rest of that insurance funding before it is too late and your 2021 insurance has kicked in. Booking your foot surgery before the year-end is a perfect way to save some money in the new year and use your 2021 insurance funding on improving your health in other ways.
Never a Bad Time to Be Free From Pain
Whether you are dealing with bunions, plantar fasciitis, Morton's neuroma, or any other foot condition, you are likely seeking ways to relieve the discomfort that it is causing you. While not every ailment requires surgery, it is a valid option for many people dealing with pain that cannot be resolved through non-surgical means. If you have gone through other treatment methods to no avail, it might be time that you considered surgery. Talk to one of our qualified NYC foot doctors to see if surgery is an option to help you start walking and feeling better. No matter the time of year, it is never the wrong time to be free of pain.
