In this episode of The Spinal Truth, Dr. Caleb Slater tackles one of the most overlooked and misunderstood procedures in orthopedics—foot surgery. From bunions to plantar fasciitis to fusions and neuromas, thousands of people are getting surgery on their feet every year… and still walking away in pain. Dr. Slater explains why most of these procedures don't address the root cause and what to consider before agreeing to go under the knife.
We cover:
Why foot surgeries often fail to relieve pain
The misdiagnosis loop (plantar fasciitis vs nerve referral)
Why surgery may relieve pressure—but not the cause
The connection between the lower spine, nerves, and foot pain
What real recovery looks like—and how to actually get better
Why orthotics and cortisone may delay true healing
👉 If you've been told you need foot surgery, or you had it and still have pain—this episode is a must-listen.
