It’s important to remember that your feet include complex bone structures. After an injury, it can often take longer for a foot or toe to heal than other injuries you may have.

05/03/2024

Bunions, caused by a deformity of the bones in your foot, can cause substantial pain. Medications, special shoes and surgical procedures may all help with the pain of bunions.

05/01/2024

The stretchy tissue of the strong ligament in your foot is designed to bear your weight and support the spring in your step as you walk or run. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the ligament is damaged.

It’s all too common for people to wait too long to see a podiatrist because they aren’t sure if their foot pain is severe enough to warrant a visit. This means many problems go untreated for so long that they become much more complicated. If you’re experiencing chronic foot pain, you should see a podiatrist as soon as possible.

04/26/2024

Did you know that many patients who visit podiatrists are older? This is because a lifetime of supporting and moving the body inevitably results in significant wear and tear to the structures that make up the feet.

04/24/2024

Plantar fasciitis is very common in runners and people between the ages of 40 and 60. Other contributing factors include occupations that require long periods of standing, weight gain or strenuous exercise without proper preparation and physical conditioning.

04/22/2024

When your foot strikes the ground, your heel should hit evenly. If your shoes show the tell-tale signs of wearing out on the inside or outside of the heel, this is a sign of a foot issue.

04/19/2024

The symptoms of plantar fasciitis are: pain on the bottom of the heel, pain in the arch of the foot, pain that is usually worse in the morning and pain that increases over a period of months.

04/17/2024

One of the most common foot problems is a bunion, which occurs when a bump develops on the inside of the big toe over the metatarsal bone in your foot. While bunions are commonly hereditary, they can also result from shoe wear.

04/15/2024

Do you have soreness or tenderness in the back of your foot that is worst when you first wake up, and eventually becomes more pronounced during periods of activity? This is a sign of Achilles tendinitis, which can become more serious if not treated immediately.

04/12/2024

While a podiatrist’s area of specialty is primarily the foot, they also sometimes treat other areas, too. 44 states in the US currently allow podiatrists to also treat disorders of the ankle, and some allow treatment above the ankle as well.

04/10/2024

These feet were made for walking: The average American takes between 5,000 and 7,000 steps a day. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends you walk at least 10,000 steps a day to maintain good physical health.

04/08/2024

Wanting to work through your foot pain without surgery? A podiatrist often can provide you the solutions you are looking for- from inserts to suggesting some physical therapy to help you out.

04/05/2024

Treatment options for bunions depend significantly on how much discomfort the bunions cause. In most cases, wearing shoes aggravates bunions, and the extent of the pain is usually the main indicator of whether you need some type of surgical procedure.

04/03/2024

When buying shoes, you want to make sure they fit right, protecting your feet and also keeping them comfortable. Shoes that do not fit properly can cause a range of problems, including bunions, corns, calluses, and hammertoes.

04/01/2024

The old test of using a thumb’s width to judge how well a shoe fits is actually a good trick. When shopping for new shoes, make sure there is a space between the toes and the tips of the shoes that is equal to about the width of your thumb.

03/29/2024

Foot exercises, including Dorsiflexion, Plantar Flexion and one leg balances, are excellent post surgery exercises that will help to get you back on your feet. We're happy to show you stretches to do during your rehabilitation.

03/27/2024

To get a full picture of your medical condition, your podiatrist will ask for a full medical history and do a physical. It’s also a good idea to bring in the shoes you wear most commonly, since they may be a source of pain or other problems.
