One of the most common myths in healthcare is the idea that once you reach a certain age, you just have to live with foot pain. You might think that bunions, hammertoes, or chronic arthritis are simply part of the aging process and that surgery is not worth the trouble.

However, we at Desert Podiatric Medical Specialists approach this topic a little differently; if you are struggling to walk to the mailbox or play with your grandkids, perhaps a procedure is the right choice for enjoying life in your golden years.Here is why surgery is often both safe and incredibly worthwhile for older adults: https://tinyurl.com/53amtmvk

If your shins are screaming after 1 lap around the track, you're not alone: many people who aren't accustomed to running can't just jump right into a respectable mile without serious pain. But why does this happen, and is it a sign of an underlying foot issue? Or are your ankles just inflexible? You have questions, we have answers: https://tinyurl.com/3zsk6p45

Foot and ankle injuries can be frustrating to deal with, but the only thing more frustrating is when they recur. Enter physical therapy. A good physical therapy program will not only rehab your foot or ankle injury, but it will also make it stronger than ever before, thereby reducing the chance of you dealing with the same condition again: https://tinyurl.com/5n8p3tnd

To that end, here are the 4 main causes of foot and ankle arthritis: https://tinyurl.com/y582hyax

The theragun is all the rage lately, known for its ability to stimulate healing. We have a similar technology in podiatry called Radial Pulse Therapy, which sends pressure waves to the bottom of your foot (or wherever you're ailing) to increase circulation and soothe the nerves causing pain. Find out which foot conditions this amazing therapy can help you recover from: https://tinyurl.com/muv9yurc

Usually, the conversation around plantar fasciitis focuses entirely on the heel. But if you’re feeling aches in your arch or even near your toes, you might be wondering: Is this still plantar fasciitis, or did I pick up a new injury along the way?

While we can’t rule that out, plantar fasciitis can be felt in areas other than just the back of your foot. Today, we at Desert Podiatric Medical Specialists will go over the non-heel-related pain and plantar fasciitis causes: https://tinyurl.com/zmnt42j3

In the wise words of Tailor B. Bunion, not all bunions are created equal. That's not actually a real person, but it turns out that the bunion has a cousin called the bunione tailor's bunion," named after tailors who would sit crossed legged and develop deformities on their pinky toes. If knowing about the different types of bunions our patients develop interests you, you're in luck: https://tinyurl.com/2jdcx5y5

Finding 1 or 2 blisters on your feet after a long day of hiking is as normal as the sun. But let's just say you got a new pair of shoes, and the blisters just keep coming?

This is just one example of how blisters can quickly turn from an occasional nuisance to a chronic problem. That's why we've devised a treatment guide for you to care (and prevent) such blister blunders.

We at Desert Podiatric Medical Specialists always preach to our patients the importance of vigilance; if you feel something is off with your feet, then see the podiatrist. Well, genetics is the ultimate tool for vigilance, so if you know that your mother and grandmother have a history of bunions, then you should try to catch it early if you start to notice a bump.

But that’s just one example. Here are five common foot problems that you likely have in your genetic code (and that you should be on the watch for): https://tinyurl.com/bdfxty8b

You might have noticed that, as we age, many seniors' podiatrists become equally as important as their primary care physicians.

Whether they saw the podiatrist last month or hasn't gone to one in years, here are the main problems we at DPMS could potentially help them prevent: https://tinyurl.com/3w9mm4yp

So much online shopping.... such little time. Remember when we used to go in and actually try on shoes before buying them? In the podiatry world, we're old school. Not because we're nostalgic, but because we genuinely believe that the right fit begins with a good ole' jog down the aisle (minus the awkward stares): https://tinyurl.com/yccmpjth.
