Think arch support only matters if you have flat feet? Think again.
Proper arch support helps distribute weight evenly across your feet, reduces stress on the ankles and knees, and keeps your body aligned from the ground up. Without it, you may develop issues like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, or even back pain over time.
Every shoe, from sneakers to work shoes to sandals, should support your arches. It’s one of the easiest ways to protect your feet and your overall health.

👉 Not sure if your shoes are giving enough support? Schedule a visit and let us help you find the right fit for your feet.

Can SWIFT Immunotherapy Get Rid of Warts?

Yes! SWIFT Immunotherapy has been clinically proven to be an effective solution for wart removal in Los Angeles. Unlike traditional treatments that often require multiple sessions with limited success, SWIFT therapy offers a high success rate by addressing the root cause of the wart: the human papillomavirus (HPV). These warts often resist conventional treatments such as topical solutions, cryotherapy, and surgical removal. By harnessing microwave energy, SWIFT Immunotherapy targets the root cause of the infection, ensuring long-term relief. In addition to warts, some research suggests that similar microwave technology may be useful for fungal infections, expanding its potential applications beyond wart treatment. By stimulating the immune system, the treatment encourages the body to clear the virus on its own, reducing the likelihood of recurrence. Many patients see significant improvement within a few sessions, making it one of the most effective options available today.

🦶 Your foot is more complex than you might think!

Each foot is made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments, all working together to support your body, absorb shock, and keep you moving. The foot is so intricate that even small problems (like an injured tendon, strained ligament, or misaligned joint) can cause big discomfort. That’s why foot pain should never be ignored.

Caring for your feet means caring for the foundation of your entire body.

👉 If you’ve been dealing with foot or ankle pain, schedule an appointment. Let’s keep those 26 bones and 100+ muscles healthy and strong.

Heel pain when you first get out of bed in the morning? A heel spur might be the cause.

Heel spurs are bony growths that form on the bottom of the heel bone. They usually develop over time when stress, inflammation, or strain pulls on the tissues that connect to your heel. Conditions like plantar fasciitis often go hand in hand with heel spurs.

Not everyone with a heel spur feels pain, but for some, it can cause sharp discomfort with walking, running, or standing for long periods.

👉 If heel pain is slowing you down, schedule an appointment to find out if a spur is the cause and get back to moving comfortably.

🦶 Every step you take depends on the ball of your foot.

The ball of the foot (the padded area behind your toes) helps absorb shock, support body weight, and push you forward when you walk, run, or jump. It’s one of the hardest-working parts of your foot, which is why pain in this area (called metatarsalgia) is so common.

👉 If you’ve noticed pain in the ball of your foot, schedule a checkup to find relief and prevent further injury.

👟 Itchy, burning feet after the gym? It might be athlete’s foot.

Athlete’s foot is a common fungal infection that thrives in warm, moist places like locker rooms, showers, and sweaty shoes. It causes itching, burning, peeling skin, and sometimes even painful cracks between the toes. The good news? It’s highly treatable with antifungal creams and proper foot care. But left untreated, it can spread to your toenails or even other parts of your body.

Your feet are the farthest point from your heart, which makes good circulation especially important.

Healthy blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients your feet need to stay strong and heal properly. Poor circulation, on the other hand, can cause:
✨ Slow-healing wounds
✨ Cold, numb, or tingling feet
✨ Higher risk of infections and ulcers (especially in people with diabetes)

👉 If you’ve noticed cold feet, slow-healing sores, or leg pain when walking, schedule an appointment to have your circulation checked. Healthy blood flow = healthy feet.

The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscles to your heel bone, making it possible to walk, run, jump, and push off with every step. It’s the strongest tendon in your body, but also one of the most commonly injured.

Without a healthy Achilles tendon, even simple movements like climbing stairs or standing on tiptoe become difficult. That’s why protecting it with proper stretching, supportive shoes, and early treatment for pain is so important.

👉 If you’ve noticed heel or tendon pain, don’t ignore it, schedule a checkup, and keep moving strong.

Your foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments, each playing a vital role in how you stand, move, and balance. But some of the most overlooked areas include:
🔹 The plantar plate (a hidden stabilizer under your toes)
🔹 The sesamoid bones (tiny bones beneath your big toe)
🔹 The peroneal tendons (supporting your ankle from the outside)
🔹 The midfoot ligaments (key to arch support and shock absorption)

Pain in these areas is often dismissed, until it disrupts your walk, your workouts, or your daily routine.

📍If you’ve got mystery foot pain, don’t ignore it. These “forgotten” structures might be trying to tell you something. Schedule an evaluation today.

👟 Are Fashion Sneakers Putting Your Foot Health at Risk?
They might look great, but at what cost?

Most trendy sneakers lack the support, cushioning, and structure your feet need for everyday wear. Over time, this can lead to:
🔸 Arch pain or fallen arches
🔸 Heel pain (hello, plantar fasciitis)
🔸 Tendon strain
🔸 Alignment issues in the knees and hips

If your feet are sore after a few hours, or you notice you’re compensating when you walk, it’s time to rethink your footwear.

📍Want support and style? We can help you find options that do both. Book a gait or footwear assessment today.

🍁 Feeling Stiffer as the Weather Cools? You're Not Alone.
Here’s Why Joint Stiffness Often Gets Worse in the Fall.

As temperatures drop, so does barometric pressure, which can cause tissues around your joints to expand and become more sensitive. Combined with:
🔸 Less movement
🔸 Increased inflammation
🔸 Cold-induced muscle tightness

…it’s the perfect storm for stiff, achy joints, especially if you already live with arthritis or chronic joint pain.

✅ The good news? Gentle movement, heat therapy, and staying active can help you feel looser and more comfortable this season.

📍Still hurting? Don’t chalk it up to “just the weather.” Let’s get to the root of it. Schedule your joint evaluation today.
