Understand the source

What is foot & ankle pain?

Foot and ankle pain can come from irritation or injury involving the bones, muscles, ligaments, or tendons. Causes range from overuse and improper footwear to arthritis, flat feet, and complications related to diabetes.

Minor discomfort can become increasingly disruptive and affect walking, standing, exercise, and daily life. Early diagnosis helps identify the underlying cause and creates a clearer path toward sustained relief.

Focused expertise

Why see a podiatrist?

Podiatrists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the foot and ankle. Whether you are dealing with a sports injury, chronic heel pain, a toenail problem, or a diabetes-related concern, focused attention can help prevent long-term damage.

Dr. Kamel uses in-office diagnostic equipment, conservative treatment options, and minimally invasive interventions when appropriate to restore movement and relieve pain.

Answers before your visit

Urgent foot and ankle care FAQs

What is podiatry urgent care?

It is dedicated care for foot and ankle injuries or conditions that need prompt attention, provided by a specialist foot doctor rather than a general practitioner.

What is the difference between the ER and podiatry urgent care?

Emergency rooms address many types of emergencies but may not have specialized equipment and training for a particular foot or ankle problem. Dr. Kamel focuses specifically on the foot and ankle, with in-office diagnostic tools and treatment expertise.

Do you provide urgent care for ankle injuries?

Yes. Dr. Kamel evaluates sprains, suspected fractures, and other ankle injuries with on-site imaging and a treatment plan tailored to the injury.

Where can I get urgent care for foot pain?

Dr. Kamel Foot & Ankle in Pomona, California, offers prompt specialist evaluation for foot pain, with same-day appointments available when scheduling permits.

Can I make an appointment today?

Call the office at 909.525.4406. We prioritize patients with urgent needs and will do our best to arrange a same-day visit when availability permits.

Should sudden toe or nail pain be evaluated?

Yes, especially when there is redness, swelling, drainage, or an injury. Toenail infections and injuries can worsen quickly and may need specialist attention.

When should urgent foot care be considered?

Seek prompt care for sudden severe pain, significant swelling, an open wound, signs of infection, or an inability to walk. Foot injuries in patients with diabetes should not be left untreated.

Can ankle sprains receive same-day treatment?

Same-day urgent appointments may be available for ankle sprains. Early evaluation can help identify the severity of the injury, control swelling, and establish an appropriate recovery plan.
