Not all neuropathy is created equal. Sometimes it’s not progression… it’s deficiency.

As a podiatrist, I see this more often than you’d think.

Wednesday I had the opportunity to participate in Podiatry Day at the Capitol with the South Carolina Podiatric Medical Association.

We spent the day at the State House providing complimentary foot screenings to elected officials and discussing issues that impact both our patients and the practice of podiatric medicine.

Advocacy is an important part of healthcare. It allows us to not only care for patients in the clinic, but also help shape policies that improve access, prevention, and overall outcomes.

Proud to represent my profession and my patients in this space.

Just finished a full clinic day—mostly diabetic foot care, plus a wart removal, heel pain assessment and fungal nail follow-up.

A lot of what I see every day is preventable with early attention and routine care.

Don’t wait until something hurts. 👣

Most diabetic foot ulcers start in the same few places.

The most common starting points I see are:
1. Calluses
2. Pressure points
3. Toenail or skin injuries
4. Poor-fitting shoes

None of these look dangerous at first — until they are.

Save this. These are the spots you should check daily.

Sometimes the only way to relieve the pain… is to remove the nail.

This patient had a severely thickened toenail causing pain and inflammation. When conservative treatment isn’t enough, a total nail removal procedure can relieve pressure and allow the nail to grow back healthier. This procedure is also used for ingrown nails.

The procedure is done under local anesthesia and typically provides immediate relief from the painful pressure patients feel when the nail digs into the skin.

Ingrown toenails are extremely common, but when left untreated they can lead to infection, chronic pain, and difficulty walking.

If a toenail is red, swollen, painful, or draining, it’s time to have it evaluated.
