Spring is afoot, so let's take care of your feet. Here are some tips to help you do that:

1. Exfoliate and care. Skin buildup and calluses can lead to painful points of pressure. Ask about our new Tolcylen products, including CBD compounds.

2. Now is the time, before sandal season, to rid your ingrown toenails permanently of their painful problems. In-office-based surgery is available.

3. Longer days mean more outdoor activities. Don’t let pain creep into this new season.

We have the additions of 2 Remy lasers at The Foot and Ankle Studio.

The Remy Class IV Laser is a non-invasive, high-powered therapy that uses specific light wavelengths to pe*****te deep into tissues, stimulating cellular regeneration and reducing inflammation. By boosting ATP (cellular energy) production and increasing circulation, it accelerates healing for chronic pain, nerve issues, and soft tissue injuries without downtime or medication.

Key Mechanisms and Effects:

Photobiomodulation: The laser light pe*****tes skin to stimulate mitochondria within cells, increasing ATP production for faster repair.

Reduced Inflammation & Pain: The therapy lowers inflammation and stimulates the release of beta-endorphins, which act as natural pain relievers.

Improved Circulation: It promotes the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue, which speeds up healing and reduces scar tissue.

Accelerated Tissue Repair: Enhances collagen production, helping to repair ligaments, tendons, and skin.

While we admire the dedication of Bears fans braving the cold in the stadium, prolonged exposure to low temperatures can trigger a variety of cold-induced foot conditions that we have seen at The Foot and Ankle Studio.

Midwest temperatures have dropped significantly, demonstrating a bitter winter. We have treated several problems associated with the frosty weather. Typically, cold temperatures cause constriction or narrowing of blood vessels, which can lead to the following problems.

1. Chilblains (Small bumps on the toes).

🔴 Red or purple patches on the tips of the toes.

🔥 itching and burning that is unexplained.

🦶🏼 small source typically at the end of the digits.

2. Raynaud’s Phenomenon (White or blue toes)

🩸 Cold triggers poor blood flow to the toes, and symptoms such as the above can occur.

3. Frostbite

🥶 Freezing of skin and underlying tissues on toes, fingers, noses, or ears is very common. It is often painful and shows up with blistering or loss of skin tissue.

You should love your feet all the time and schedule an appointment if you exhibit any of these problems! You will be glad you did.

As a podiatrist and small business owner, I get a lot of credit for the healthcare we provide at The Foot and Ankle Studio — but the truth is, I mainly provide the health, and my incredible staff brings the care.

From the moment our patients walk through the door to the moment they leave, they’re met with kindness, warmth, and respect. Here, you are not treated like a number, but rather as a human being who matters. That’s something you can’t fake — and it’s why so many of our reviews speak to the experience, not just the treatment.

🛎️ Sharon and Amy are the first friendly faces you see, and they make sure the front office runs smoothly with grace and efficiency.

📋 Carola, who has been with us for over 20 years, is the backbone of our insurance operations and a true example of dedication.

👣 Ashley, Alex, and Gaby, our skilled medical assistants, make sure the back office flows seamlessly so us physicians can focus on what brings each patient in.

👨🏼‍⚕️ Dr. Richard Powers and Dr. Michael J. Tagge, my fellow associates, thank you for the collaboration, insight, and compassion you bring to our patients every day.

Our office isn’t like most. It's clean, calm, personal, and full of heart. That’s because of this team. I’m so proud of what we’ve built together. To our patients, thank you for noticing our efforts. We will always go the extra mile so your feet don’t have to.

Personalized Care on Your Terms:

Concierge medicine is a healthcare model where patients pay a membership fee for enhanced access to their physician. This often includes same-day appointments, longer visits, Saturday and evening hours and a more personalized approach to wellness.

Most concierge docs limit the number of patients they see, and they can offer more time, attention and tailored care to bridge the gap of traditional healthcare, and a truly patient centered experience. Here at the Foot and Ankle Studio, we strive to give you all of those added positive benefits WITHOUT the additional cost.

Here, we believe, even your feet deserve VIP treatment! Call us at (847) 398-0900 to schedule your appointment.

A simple 20-minute non-painful test, performed in our office, can tell if you have enough arterial blood supply to your feet. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common condition that narrows the arteries, reducing blood flow to your legs and feet. When this happens, the following symptoms may occur.

1. Pain in your legs at rest
2. Uncomfortable ache, fatigue, or cramping during walking or exercise
3. Color changes of your feet
4. Sores that don’t heal or are slow to heal
5. Commonly associated with diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, or stroke.

If you have any of these symptoms, please discuss it with your foot specialist. We care about your health.

Call The Foot and Ankle Studio at 847-398-0900.

All of us are awaiting spring. Let’s get our bodies moving, and here are some tips for being more active at home, at work, or out with friends.

1. Dry cracked skin
Changes in shoes are inevitable. As the weather gets warmer, the toes and heels are more exposed and can lead to painful, dry, cracked skin.

Treatments: Soak your feet. Pumice lightly and apply a light non-perfume lotion daily.

2. Heel Pain
As the weather gets warmer, we tend to be more active. The weekends are filled with more activities and exercise, which can lead to heal pain.

Tips:
-Call the office at 847-398-0900 to have your current orthotic evaluated. If you don’t have Orthotics and you’re experiencing foot pain, you probably should come in for a full examination.
-Purchase new shoes. If you do this, have your feet properly measured for size, width, and fit.
-Never go barefoot. It’s not good in the outside environment or at home. Protect yourself and your feet.

3. Sweaty Feet
As the temperatures rise, we perspire more from the bottom of our feet. An active person can sweat a pint of fluid per day. This leaves our feet at times, and our shoes smelly.

Tips:
-Wash daily with an antibacterial soap and dry thoroughly. Don’t forget in-between your toes.
-Change shoes daily so that they can properly dry out.
-Use a foot powder to keep your feet and shoes dry if you have perspiration.

If you have any other concerns or questions you’d like to ask, please don’t hesitate to call us for an appointment! 847-398-0900
