May is peak season for pollen-related allergies and asthma—and the right care can make a big difference in how you feel every day.

Dr. Aaron Pinion provides specialized care for children and adults, focusing on identifying triggers, reducing inflammation, and creating long-term treatment plans that improve quality of life.

Seasonal Allergies & Asthma
Tree, grass, and w**d pollens can trigger symptoms like congestion, itchy eyes, coughing, and asthma flare-ups. Dr. Pinion offers targeted testing and treatment, including medications and allergy immunotherapy, to help reduce your body’s sensitivity over time.

Dr. Scot Bandel and his team at Platte Valley Podiatry are committed to helping patients stay active, comfortable, and confident on their feet. Their expertise covers a wide range of foot and ankle concerns, including some of the most common conditions people experience every day.

Bunions
Bunions can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty finding comfortable footwear. Choosing supportive shoes with a wide toe box and avoiding narrow or high‑heeled shoes can help ease symptoms. When discomfort begins affecting daily activities, a professional evaluation can help prevent further progression.

Hammer Toes
Often caused by muscle imbalance or prolonged use of tight shoes, hammer toes can lead to stiffness and irritation. Gentle stretching and roomy footwear can help reduce discomfort. For more advanced cases, Dr. Bandel offers both non‑surgical and surgical treatment options.

Foot and Ankle Arthritis
Arthritis can make standing and walking painful, especially on hard surfaces. Supportive, well‑cushioned shoes and custom orthotics can help reduce joint stress. Dr. Bandel provides personalized treatment plans to help improve comfort, mobility, and quality of life.

If you’re experiencing foot and ankle pain, changes in foot and ankle structure, or difficulty staying active, don’t wait to get it checked out.
