Your cold toes and feet could actually be a result of Scleroderma. 👣

What is Scleroderma?? It is an autoimmune disease that occurs from the overproduction of collagen. This ultimately impacts the connective tissue in the skin on the toes and feet. If you suffer from Scleroderma, it is vital to have your feet examined and checked more frequently.

If you suspect that you may have Scleroderma, it is best to book an appointment with your podiatrist! Happy feet = Happy life!

Thickened, yellow toenails are a common symptom of fungal infections, also known as onychomycosis. While other things can cause discoloration, fungal infections are quite common and something that you should seek care for.

Catching it early helps make the treatment a little easier and helps stop further spreading. Being seen by an expert podiatrist also helps rule other causes out.

📲 Call the office and schedule an appointment with me for a proper diagnosis so we can get you on the path to healthy toenails again! (615) 332-0330

Take a look at this X-ray picture after a patient's fusion surgery. 📸

This procedure fuses together the two bones that make up your aching joint.
It causes the bones to become one solid bone, and can also make your joint more stable and help you bear more weight on it. 👣👍

Our feet take us everywhere we go, we need to look after them, even on vacation. ☀️ Save this post to come back to these tips the next time you travel!

- Wear comfortable shoes: Choose supportive shoes for your travels. Avoid wearing new or tight shoes that could cause blisters or discomfort. Your shoes should provide cushioning and support, especially if you'll be walking a lot.

- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water!!! Proper hydration helps with circulation, reducing the risk of swelling and discomfort in your feet and ankles during long trips.

- Stretch and move regularly: On long flights or drives, make a point to stand up, stretch, and move around every couple of hours. Simple foot and calf stretches can help improve blood flow and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

- Elevate your feet: When possible, elevate your feet to reduce swelling, especially after a long day of walking or standing. Resting with your feet elevated can help alleviate fatigue and prevent fluid buildup.

Happy feet = Happy travels!

Is your foot fracture an early sign of ?? 👀

Unexplained foot fractures may be the first sign of osteoporosis.

👉🏻 What is Osteoprosis?? It is a bone-thinning disease that affects more than 28 million Americans and accounts for 1.5 million bone fractures a year.

What do you think caused these??👀

Summer is around the corner and this is your warning to watch out for Sea Urchin's!!

I get at least one patient coming in who encountered an unexpected creature intruding on their summer vacation. Stepping on Sea Urchin is very common and extremely painful. 🚨 Remember to wear ocean shoes and never step on rocks. These urchin spines dissolve with time but should be professionally removed by a podiatrist because they can become easily infected.

If you can't see a podiatrist, ideally soak the affected area in vinegar, hot water, or saline. Carefully remove the spike with tweezers in the direction it went in. Good luck!

- Apply anti-fungal powder to prevent inflection.

Let's talk about foot fractures. 👇🏻

Foot fractures are one of the most common foot injuries we see as foot doctors. About 1 out of every 10 broken bones occurs in the foot. 😮 👣

Do you need treatment for a foot fracture?

Without proper treatment, you run the risk of your bones not healing correctly or in proper alignment. Not only does this cause persistent pain, but it can impact your ability to walk indefinitely.

Don't wait if you suspect a break. Call the office and ask to see "Dr. Hurt-less" and schedule an appointment today: (615) 332-0330

Foot pain can happen for many reasons and the location of the pain can help your podiatrist discover the problem at hand. 👣

Inside near the toes? Maybe it's a bunion.

Top near the toes? Maybe it's metatarsalgia.

Center all around? Maybe it's a stress fracture.

In the heel? Maybe it's plantar fasciitis.

Back of the heel? Maybe it's Achilles Tendonitis.

👣 It is always best to set up an appointment to get checked out by a professional for persistent foot pain. You don't want to neglect your feet, they take you everywhere you need to go. Call my office to set up an appointment today: (615) 332-0330

Here are my 4 simple tips for healthy feet, from your friendly podiatrist. 👣

Go barefoot more often: Spending time barefoot strengthens your foot muscles and increases sensory input to your brain!

Use toe spacers: Toe spacers have numerous benefits and help realign your toes, reduce bunions, and strengthen foot muscles.

Upgrade to natural footwear: Natural, wide-toe box shoes are essential for healthy feet!

Don't forget to exercise your feet: Targeted foot exercises make a huge difference in how your feet feel and how much resilience and strength you have.

You know I love a good surgery day at the office. Have you ever wondered why the 'no eating or drinking after midnight' rule exists? 🤔

Well, it's not just a random suggestion – it's a vital precaution. Before any surgery, it's crucial to fast for eight to 12 hours. Why? Because having food in your stomach can lead to some serious complications, including nausea, infection risks, and even aspiration. 😬 So next time you're prepping for a procedure, remember the golden rule: empty stomach, safe surgery!

I get asked a lot about what shoes are best. 👟👇🏻

Finding the perfect pair of shoes isn't just about style – it's about supporting your entire body! Did you know that on average, you take 2,496,235 a year?? That's a lot of weight resting on your feet! 👣

Choosing shoes that work for your unique foot shape and needs is essential for preventing discomfort, and injuries, and maintaining overall foot health.

My 3 top tips for finding a shoe that works for you:
👉🏻 Know your foot type: Understand if you have flat, neutral, or high arches for tailored support.

👉🏻Get the right fit: Prioritize comfort and proper sizing over style.

👉🏻Test drive: Walk around and ensure comfort, support, and stability before you make your final purchase.

Spring is in the air, and so is the call of the trails! As you step into the season of outdoor adventures, I wanted to offer a pro tip: Invest in well-fitted, supportive footwear for hiking. 🌄

👉🏻 Having the right footwear is key. Look for hiking shoes or boots with sturdy soles, good arch support, and ample cushioning. A snug but not too tight fit around the heel and toe areas will help prevent unnecessary friction and potential injuries. Happy Trails!! ☀️

The secret to productivity AND foot health at home?? The answer may surprise you. 👟🏡

Ever wondered if wearing shoes inside your house could supercharge your productivity and foot health? 🤔✨ The answer is YES! But before you lace up those outdoor shoes inside, let's redefine what we mean by "house shoes." 👇🏼

🚀 The new "House Shoes": Forget slippers; it's time for supportive indoor shoes, like sneakers or loafers.🚫 Slippers lack support and may worsen foot discomfort.

House shoes transform your work-from-home game, making you more productive so you can finally tackle those lingering tasks. House shoes always mean no more foot pain since good indoor shoes provide the support you need.
