Can you run with bunions? 🏃‍♂️

Yes — but ignoring bunion pain can change your stride, increase joint stress, and lead to other injuries over time.

If you’re feeling pressure at the base of your big toe while running, it’s not something to “push through.” The right footwear, proper evaluation, and non-surgical treatment options can make a significant difference.

At Alpine Foot & Ankle Clinic, I help runners stay active without jumping straight to surgery.

Heel pain while running isn’t always “just plantar fasciitis.”

If you’re a runner dealing with pain at the back of your heel or underneath it, you may be experiencing bursitis — and there are two common types that affect runners differently:

• Retrocalcaneal bursitis (pain at the back of the heel)
• Subcalcaneal bursitis (pain under the heel)

The key to lasting relief is identifying the exact source of the inflammation — because treatment depends on the diagnosis.

If running is part of your Montana lifestyle, don’t guess.

Pregnancy changes your body in amazing ways — but did you know it can permanently change your feet?

Hormones, weight shifts, and swelling can flatten your arches, leading to heel pain, foot fatigue, and long-term discomfort. And for many women, those changes don’t fully reverse after delivery.

At Alpine Foot & Ankle Clinic, I help expecting and new moms protect their foot health so they can stay active and comfortable.

If you're experiencing swollen, painful, or flat feet during pregnancy, don’t ignore it.

Heel pain has a way of coming back—especially when the real cause isn’t treated.

I see many patients who feel temporary relief, only to have heel pain return again and again. That cycle happens when inflammation, tissue stress, and biomechanics aren’t fully addressed. The goal isn’t short-term relief—it’s breaking the cycle for good.

With proper diagnosis and advanced, non-surgical treatment options, most people can get lasting relief and return to walking, working, and staying active comfortably.

Toenail fungus can be stubborn—and many treatments simply don’t reach the infection where it lives.

That’s why I use laser therapy to treat toenail fungus. Laser technology targets the fungus beneath the nail without damaging surrounding tissue, making it a safe and effective option for many patients who haven’t had success with other treatments.

Understanding how laser therapy works can help you decide if it’s the right solution for your nail health.

Are store-bought insoles really the same as custom orthotics?

I hear this question every week. While over-the-counter inserts may provide temporary cushioning, they’re not designed to correct foot mechanics or address the underlying cause of pain. Custom orthotics are prescribed based on how your feet move—and that difference matters when pain keeps coming back.

Understanding which option is right for you can help prevent ongoing foot, knee, and back pain.

If you have diabetes, small changes in your feet can signal much bigger problems.

I regularly see patients who didn’t realize that numbness, skin changes, sores, or temperature differences in the feet can be early warning signs of serious diabetic complications. Catching these issues early can help prevent infections, wounds that won’t heal, and even amputation.

Knowing what to watch for—and when to seek professional care—can make all the difference.

Forefoot pain while running that feels sharp, burning, or unstable shouldn’t be ignored.

I often see runners with pre-dislocation syndrome—a condition where the ligament supporting the toe joint becomes damaged over time. It’s frequently mistaken for general “ball-of-foot pain,” but without proper care, it can progress and become much more difficult to treat.

The earlier we identify the problem, the better the outcome—often without surgery.

Toenail fungus is more common in runners than most people realize—and it’s not just a cosmetic issue.

I see this frequently in runners and active adults due to repetitive trauma, tight shoes, and moist environments inside athletic footwear. Left untreated, fungal nail infections can worsen, spread, and become much harder to clear.

The key is proper diagnosis and professional treatment designed to address the infection at its source.

Calf pain while running isn’t something you should just “run through.”

I see runners every week with calf muscle injuries that start small and quietly worsen—often because the real cause wasn’t identified early. Tight muscles, overuse, improper footwear, and biomechanics all play a role, and ignoring the problem can lead to longer recovery times or repeat injuries.

If running, hiking, or training has become painful, understanding why your calf hurts is the first step toward getting back to pain-free movement.

Ball-of-foot pain is a common complaint—but the underlying cause is often misunderstood. In this article, I explain how stress on smaller structures beneath the foot can lead to chronic pain and mobility issues if left untreated.

Understanding the root cause is key to effective, non-surgical treatment and long-term relief.
