Not all plantar warts respond to a single treatment. We may recommend combining SWIFT Therapy with other treatments to help stubborn plantar warts clear more effectively. This approach works by stimulating your immune response while addressing the wart itself.

Marietta podiatrist Dr. Alvin Cowans combines SWIFT plus other therapies for a combination wart treatment to heal stubborn lesions. Call 770-727-0614 for info.

If you have been struggling with stubborn plantar warts, schedule a consultation at Optimum Podiatry to learn if SWIFT Therapy is right for you.

The SWIFT healing process for plantar wart recovery has results appear gradually over 12-weeks. Smyrna podiatrist Dr. Alvin Cowans confirms final resolution

Dry, cracked feet are more than just a seasonal issue. They are often caused by a combination of everyday habits and underlying conditions.

If dry skin is persistent, painful, or cracking, it may be time to see a podiatrist for proper evaluation and care. Schedule an appointment with Optimum Podiatry to keep your feet healthy year-round.

Myth: Toenails need to “breathe.”
Truth: Toenails don’t have lungs — they get nutrients from the blood supply under the nail, not the air.
What they do need is proper trimming, clean socks, and healthy circulation to stay strong and smooth.

Avoid walking barefoot on cold floors this month. It puts extra strain on your plantar fascia and can make morning heel pain feel even sharper. Supportive slippers or indoor shoes can make a big difference in how your feet feel each day.
If heel pain has become a pattern, we can help.
