Did you know that stress fractures of the foot are pretty common? Symptoms include redness, swelling, bruising, and sometimes a red circular area on the top of the foot, as well as continuous pain. Your podiatrist will take an x-ray to confirm that you have a fracture and then begin proper treatment.
Most of the problems that diabetic patients have with their feet are the result of nerve damage, infection, or poor circulation. Foot deformities and trauma can also cause sores and infections, so it is best to visit a podiatrist regularly if you suffer from diabetes.
There are numerous tendons found in the foot. These fibrous tissues connect muscles to bones and provide the stretch needed to walk and run.
Walking barefoot is like a free reflexology therapy. The pressure points in the foot directly affect other parts of the body, relieving many common ailments.
Calluses are thick skin that develops on the foot due to increased pressure from walking or standing for long amounts of time. If left untreated, calluses can cause pain and discomfort.
Want to find the perfect occupational or athletic footwear? See a podiatrist. He or she can assess your foot structure and give you expert medical advice on what to look for in the right footwear and/or whether you need prescription orthotics.
Even when you have a job where you’re able to sit down for the bulk of the day, the pressure of wearing shoes can still be unbearable when you have an ingrown toenail. Rest assured that we’re always available to help you get the relief you deserve.
It’s important to remember that one foot should never be a drastically different color from the other, especially when you haven’t been in the sun. If you notice this type of discoloration, be sure to schedule an appointment right away.
If you have a painful bunion, ask your podiatrist about surgical options. New techniques have improved results and help to prevent the bunion from reappearing. Downtime can be minimal, and many doctors will have you back in regular shoes in six to eight weeks.
The most common place for bunions is on the inside of the foot near the big toe, but that’s not the only place. Bunions can also occur on the outside of the foot where the little toe is pushed out of joint, known as a "tailor’s bunion."
Podiatrists agree that buying the right fitting shoes can go a long way in avoiding foot and ankle ailments. It’s best to shop for shoes in the afternoon, since feet tend to swell a bit during the day. This will ensure the best fit.
Corns (hard calluses that form on the top of the toe) can be caused by several different factors. While improperly fitting shoes are a leading cause of corns, they can also be caused by toe deformities such as hammer toe or claw toe.
Mallet toes have an abnormal bend in the joint closest to the toenail and are a common side effect of aging. They occur most often in the toe next to the big toe and are common in women who wear shoes with narrow toe boxes or high heels.
Have cold feet? Many women do, in part because their bodies’ core temperature is slightly lower than men’s. Most the time, cold feet aren’t harmful, but sometimes they can signal a thyroid problem. If you’re having any other symptoms, tell your doctor.
It’s important to remember that your feet provide the foundation for your whole body as you move throughout the day. If you have a foot problem you’ve been putting off seeing us for, it may be causing pain in other parts of your body.
Morton’s neuroma is caused when the nerve sheath between the base of two toes becomes irritated, which can create burning, cramping, numbness or sharp pains in your toes or feet. Massaging the area usually relieves the pain, but in severe cases, surgery may be required.
Sprains are the most common ankle injuries, but you can reduce your risks for sprains with these tips: wear proper fitting and supportive shoes, add balancing exercises to your exercise routine and warm up before exercising.
Are you suffering from “turnip” toe? If you have a swollen and inflamed bunion, you are. According to the National Institutes of Health, the word bunion is derived from the Latin, "napus," which means "turnip."
Do you have pain in your heel? A podiatrist can determine if you have a heel spur, which is a buildup of calcium on the very bottom of the heel bone. Heel spurs are commonly seen with professional and recreational athletes.
