As the end of the year approaches, many of us are focused on holiday plans, family gatherings, and wrapping up loose ends. But there’s one more thing you might want to check off your list before the calendar flips: that lingering orthopaedic or podiatric issue you’ve been putting off.
Whether it’s a nagging wrist, a painful toe, or a stiff elbow, now is the perfect time to take action—and here’s why.
Maximize Your Insurance Benefits Before Deductibles Reset
Most insurance plans reset on January 1st, meaning your deductible and out-of-pocket maximums start over. If you’ve already met your deductible for the year, scheduling a procedure now could save you hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars.
By acting before year-end, you can:
- Take advantage of insurance coverage you’ve already paid into
- Avoid starting over with a new deductible in January
- Reduce your out-of-pocket costs for procedures you know you’ll need eventually
Common Procedures You Might Be Delaying
Many patients delay care for conditions that are manageable but disruptive to daily life. These “small” issues can become big problems if left untreated. Here are just a few examples of procedures we can often perform right in our office:
- Carpal Tunnel Release – for numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hands
- Trigger Finger Release – to relieve painful locking or catching of fingers
- Dupuytren’s Contracture Treatment – to restore hand function and flexibility
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) Treatment – for persistent elbow pain
- Ganglion Cyst Removal – to eliminate painful or unsightly wrist lumps
- Ingrown Toenail Removal – for recurring pain or infection
- Plantar Fasciitis Injections or Fasciotomy – for chronic heel pain
- Hammertoe Correction – to improve comfort and mobility
These procedures are often quick, minimally invasive, and can be performed under local anesthesia—meaning less downtime and faster recovery.
