Radial Pulse Therapy, or RPT for short, sounds like a procedure that takes hours away from us. And pressure waves going right into our feet to solve our foot pains? Sounds painful itself! Good news: Radial Pulse Therapy is not as scary as it sounds. You'll be out of there in no time, and the mild discomfort you might feel is totally worth it: https://tinyurl.com/muv9yurc

It’s officially Heart Awareness Month, and we at Desert Podiatric Medical Specialists are pumped to share everything we know about your feet and circulation. Here’s something to be aware of: feet can signal cardiovascular issues in much more subtle ways that have nothing to do with fluid retention. In fact, there’s one sign that often goes unnoticed: missing toe hair. https://tinyurl.com/muwshxpc

You've heard of plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, arthritis, and all the ways life comes at our feet. But could it be our own shoes betraying us? In our expert opinion, it's very possible! Poorly fitting shoes can certainly cause many undiagnosed foot problems directly. We want our patients to care about their feet and actually know what good footwear feels like: https://tinyurl.com/mr46ywz5

Here are expert tips for finding the perfect fit: https://tinyurl.com/yccmpjth

While high heels certainly don't help, they aren’t the only cause of that bony bump on the side of your foot. The truth is that bunions show up on much younger feet, on athletes, and even on people who have never touched a pair of heels in their lives. We at Desert Podiatric Medical Specialists explain the reasons below. https://tinyurl.com/4p72aaet

Everyone's been packing on the pounds, just in different ways. Even seniors who haven't necessarily gone through life "obese" can still feel the effects of simply standing being on their feet for decades. This is called fat pad atrophy, and it's one of the leading causes of heel and ball of foot pain. Read all about it here: https://tinyurl.com/5brk7h6c

"Sure, I have bunions and other foot issues, but my kid? Psh, they don't have to worry about their feet until they're old like me!" Dead wrong. That's a take that's hotter than the desert. The truth is, foot problems, yes even bunions, arthritis, and plantar fasciitis, happen at all stages of life, more than you'd think. Don't have more hot takes we can prove wrong? Here are some more we've debunked anyway: https://tinyurl.com/346ybpc7

In 2026, we encourage all parents to pay more attention to their childrens’ feet! That includes how they walk. Kids have a tendency to walk a little funny, but it’s perfectly normal. One of the most common gait patterns we see is pigeon toeing, which you can learn more about in this blog post (including if it needs to be treated): https://tinyurl.com/593xuefd
