The pain associated with shin splints is caused by micro-tears of the muscle away from the bone. (Ouch!) It’s a cry for help from overworked muscles, tendons and bone tissues. There’s no single cause. Instead, many risk factors are associated with their development. Here are a few:
🟡 Overpronation, also called “flat feet.”
🟡 Inadequate stretching.
🟡 Using worn out shoes
🟡 Always running in the same direction on a track.
🟡 A recent change in your training routine.

Believe it or not, the drainage coming from a wound is a great indicator of where the wound is in the healing process.
When you're managing wound care for yourself or for any other, it's important to always follow your podiatrist's instructions and to inform your provider of any change in the appearance of the wound drainage.

Bunions are very painful bony bumps that develop over time on the inside of the foot at the base of the big toe.
Unfortunately, they won’t go away without surgery. Non-surgical treatments can sometimes help eliminate painful symptoms.
Bunions are caused by many different reasons:
🔹Flat feet, low arch
🔹Narrow footwear
🔹Foot trauma/injury
🔹Inflammatory arthritis of the foot
🔹Neuromuscular conditions
🔹Genetic disorders
Bunions can be mild to moderate to severe. If you are having pain from bunions, make an appointment today with us. We will discuss the best plan of action for you.

The primary symptom of bunions is pain. A bunion will often hurt in a tight shoe due to pressure but can be painful even in well-fitting shoes.
Primarily, the pain is at the big toe joint itself, but the pain can spread under the ball of the foot, at other toes, or into the arch area of the foot. Painful skin irritations such as corns, calluses, or even open sores may occur as the result of serious bunions when left untreated.

Foot care is essential when you have diabetes because the disease can be dangerous to your feet—even a small cut can produce serious consequences.
Diabetes can cause nerve damage that takes away the feeling in your feet, reduce blood flow to the feet, and make it harder to heal an injury or resist infection.
Because of the problems, you may not notice a foreign object in your shoe. As a result, you could develop a blister or a sore from the intrusion, leading to an infection or a nonhealing wound that could put you at risk for an amputation.
We are here to help treat your concerns and provide guidance towards a higher quality of life.
If you or someone you love is suffering from Diabetic induced foot issues, schedule your appointment to meet with one of our physicians today!

But if you have a current diabetic ulcer or a history of foot infections, your dedicated podiatrist could recommend coming in monthly or once a quarter. Your entire diabetic foot care management plan is tailored to you.

Diabetes can reduce blood circulation and damage the nerves to the feet.
Ask your doctor to examine your feet regularly for any evidence of nerve damage or poor circulation.

To avoid getting a fungal infection, it’s important that you wash your feet daily with soap and water, making sure to get in between your toes and dry the feet well.
When cutting your toenails, make sure the clippers you’re using are clean and that you’re cutting straight across. It’s also important that you wear shoes in areas where fungus can thrive, such as wet public places like swimming pools or locker rooms.

🟡 Pain: knee pain can inhibit movement
🟡 Injury: Damage to structures in and around the knee

Give your feet the attention they deserve when you’re washing. Scrub them thoroughly and then dry them thoroughly too. Make sure that you dry between each toe, and keep your feet dry. Fungal infections can start in damp conditions.
