Stress fractures are a common foot problem leading to severe pain and problems walking. Unfortunately sometimes it isn’t seen on an X-ray for several weeks. Stress fractures can occur due to inappropriate shoe gear, increasing a workout too quickly, poor bone quality due to underlying diseases, or just plain old overuse. You shouldn’t have foot pain so don’t ignore your symptoms #stressfracture #podiatry

Humor Friday: plantar warts are very common as they originate from a virus and can be picked up anywhere you walk barefoot. Don’t be a peanut and try to treat them yourselves as the longer they are present the more likely they are to hang around for a long time #warts #footwarts #plantarwarts #podiatry
We treat stubborn Plantar Warts with a cutting edge, FDA cleared technology called SWIFT® Immunotherapy. This therapy targets and effectively treats the underlying HPV virus by stimulating a natural immune response in the body – addressing the root cause; not the symptom.
No more cutting, freezing or burning.

Kalmar Family Podiatry updated their info in the about section.
We hear a lot from people “Oh, it’s just a toe, not much to be done for a fracture/break.” If this patient didn’t see us, they would develop long term pain, deformity and inability to wear most shoes. So, NO there is always something that can be done for a toe fracture/break. #podiatry #surgery #toefracture #closedreduction
Curb alert: You don’t have to be a fan of Kalmar Family Podiatry to take these home. You just have to beat the garbage men.
Big Toe Fracture. This patient had a heavy log drop onto his foot. Came to us a few weeks later due to his pain not going away. Surgery took place over a month after the injury so we had to rebreak the bone to put the big toe back into a normal alignment and position. #toefracture #podiatry #footsurgery #surgery #Paragon28

Funny but not. Please everyone wear a mask, stay 6 feet apart, wash your hands often and please abide by the law and state recommendations. We all want this to end and unfortunately a vaccine alone will NOT be enough.
Arthritis means “joint inflammation.” When it affects joints of the foot, it can produce swelling and pain and may eventually result in deformity, loss of joint function and decreased ability to walk.
Foot and ankle arthritis can be quite debilitating. Although arthritis can not be reversed there are many treatment options available to reduce pain and increase function. #arthritis #anklepain #footarthritis #anklearthritis #prp #HyaluronicAcid #surgery #Podiatry #orthotics
Plantar wart(s) can be quite annoying and painful. There are several in-office treatment options available. It is crucial for our patients to know and understand their treatment options in order to make the right treatment plan. If you or a loved one has a plantar wart, don't wait! Give us a call.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Some signs of progress: Over the past 3 weeks new cases in the U.S. have fallen 35%. Keep strong Huntington!
Falls on icy surfaces are a major cause of ankle sprains and fractures. Some injuries are more severe than others but don't let, "Oh, I can walk on it, I'm fine" deter your from seeing a foot and ankle specialist. In less severe foot fractures and ankle/foot sprains, it is possible to walk on afterwards and can easily be mistaken for an injury that does not require medical attention. Inappropriate or delay in treatment can cause long term pain and instability. Read more at: https://www.kalmarfamilypodiatry.com/blog/caution-black-ice
