Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition affecting the ball of the foot, usually between the third and fourth toes. It occurs when the tissue surrounding a nerve thickens, often due to irritation, pressure, or tight shoes, causing sharp pain, burning, or the sensation of a pebble in your shoe.
Treatment for Morton’s neuroma focuses on relieving pressure and inflammation. Common and nonsurgical approaches available at Arches FootCare, include:
* Footwear changes: Switching to wide, low-heeled shoes with added arch support.
* Orthotics: Using custom or modified over-the-counter arch supports to redistribute pressure.

Treatments available at your Podiatrist :
*Medication: Prescribed or recommended by your physician! Taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) or receiving corticosteroid injections.
* Medical Procedures: In persistent cases, sclerotherapy (alcohol injections) or minimally invasive surgery to remove the thickened tissue.

Call or go online to make an appointment with Heinz at Arches FootCare to have your feet, gait and definitely your pressure distribution evaluated. After the assessment, he can fit you with the right orthotic and put you in the correct footwear to alleviate your discomfort or pain. 254.773.2693 or archesfoorcaretempletx.com

When is cushion too much cushion? Had a patient come in with diagnosed Posterior tibialis tendon dysfunction. 1st picture shows him barefoot. PTTD right with about 9 degree medial collapse. He wanted some arch support for his shoes he brought in. After fitting, I had him take a few steps. There I saw that even with the support, his shoe increased the medial collapse to 18 degrees! The sole of his shoes, while feeling good with all that cushion, could not support the foot against that medial collapse.
A shoe too cushioned and too high stacked, can also minimize or neutralize your proprioception (allows you to perceive your body’s position, movement, and force in space without using vision. Your feet cannot „read“ the ground you are landing/stepping on. That can lead to twisting your ankle,stumbling and falls.
The older we get, the more our proprioception is degreasing and this is considered a common cause of falls.
Think twice if that extra cushion, thick sole shoe that is in fashion in the moment, is the correct shoe for you.
Remember, you can always make an appointment for an assessment, which includes a gait evaluation at Arches FootCare. I can suggest what shoe and/or support may be more fitting for your gait, pressure distribution and foot conditions. You can call, go online or come by to make the appointment. 254.773.2693 or archesfootcaretempletx.com.

Solve plantar fasciitis in three steps

Step 1: Have a doctor determine the exact nature of the problem, the preferred treatment for Plantar fasciitis are OTC arch supports or custom orthotics. Step #2: See the Pedorthist at Arches FootCare to fit you with the proper support. A foot, gait, flexibility and foot pressure assessment can help determine the reason for having Plantar fasciitis. High-impact sports should generally be avoided during the acute phase. Stretching the calf and foot muscles is recommended and should be performed regularly, several times a day, to accelerate healing. Wearing orthotic insoles as much as possible is indicated.
Call or go online to make your appointment (this would be step #3, 😁), 254.773.2693 or archesfootcaretempletx.com .

A Doctor just came in and told me that one of his patients said she doesn’t know where to go since Heinz retired. WHAT? Not sure who and where this rumor started, but is this why business is so slow? So, Arches FootCare is still open for business. I just have moved to the suite next to the previous suite. (See picture!)
Now, this is hopefully cleared up, see y‘all next week.

Posterior Tibialis Tendon Dysfunction or short PTTD. Know the signs and see a Podiatrist and then Arches FootCare before it gets to the stage you see on the picture! The earlier this is treated, the better the results! This will not go away by itself! 4 Stages and how to treat it:
Stage 1: OTC Arch support with modifications.
Stage 2: Custom Orthotics
Stage 3: Ankle Brace
Stage 4: surgery
Signs & Symptoms of Posterior Tibialis Tendon Dysfunction.
* Pain in the arch and pain and swelling behind the inside of the ankle (course of the tendon). Pain and trigger points will also be felt in the muscle belly of the posterior tibialis.
* Burning, shooting, tingling pain may also be felt on the inside of the ankle because the posterior tibialis nerve is inflamed inside the tarsal tunnel (tarsal tunnel syndrome).
* Pain may also develop on outside of ankle, especially as the foot becomes more mis-shapen.
* Pain and swelling is worse with walking and exercise, and usually gets worse as day progresses.
* Unable to perform tip-toe raise on affected side (indicating dysfunction of posterior tibialis tendon).
* Characteristic development of a flat foot (arch collapse) on affected side.
* Usually occurs in 1 foot, however can occur in both.
