From surgery to prevention, Dr. Jeffrey S. Hurless provides whole-person podiatric care to help you move better, live better.

For many patients, this visit isn’t just about feet.

It’s about finally addressing something they’ve been living with quietly such as discomfort, pain, or uncertainty that’s been brushed off for too long. Choosing to see a podiatrist means choosing care, clarity, and prevention before things become more complicated.

I'm grateful to be part of that moment and take the responsibility seriously.

Calluses aren’t random and they’re not just a surface-level skin issue.

A callus is thickened skin that develops over time in response to repeated pressure or friction. It’s your body’s built-in protective response, creating a barrier to shield deeper tissue from ongoing stress.

That pressure usually comes from how the foot loads and moves with each step. The way your foot hits the ground, shifts weight, and pushes off matters more than most people realize. Because of that, calluses tend to appear in very specific places such as the heel, the ball of the foot, or the toes, where pressure is highest.

This is also why calluses often keep coming back. Removing them can improve comfort, but it doesn’t change the underlying pressure pattern. If the mechanics stay the same, the callus will return.

Over time, thicker calluses can become a problem. They may lead to discomfort, cracks, irritation, or even skin breakdown if the pressure isn’t addressed.

To a podiatrist, calluses provide valuable clues. Their location and thickness help identify abnormal pressure points and underlying biomechanical issues affecting how your feet function.

Long-term relief usually means correcting the source of the pressure. That may involve a biomechanical evaluation, footwear changes, or orthotics, not just trimming the skin itself.

If calluses keep returning or have started causing discomfort, it may be time for a deeper evaluation. Schedule an appointment using the link in the comments to take the next step.

And let me know in the comments where your calluses tend to show up: the heel, the ball of the foot, or the toes?

Foot pain often isn’t loud or sudden. It’s quiet and cumulative.

Daily walking, standing, posture changes, and footwear choices all place small amounts of stress on your feet. Over time, that stress adds up, even if your routine doesn’t feel demanding. That’s why recovery isn’t just something to think about after an injury but something to build into everyday life.

Simple changes and proper guidance can help reduce strain and support long-term foot health before pain becomes disruptive.

Schedule an appointment using the link in the comments if something’s been lingering longer than it should. And let me know: do your feet feel most tired at the end of the day, or first thing in the morning?

Custom orthotics shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all solution.

Properly designed orthotics start with biomechanics such as how your foot is aligned, how it moves, and how it handles pressure during movement. Using Kevin Root scanning technology allows us to capture your foot in a neutral position and identify key pressure points that affect function.

That information guides how orthotics are designed so they support your mechanics instead of forcing your foot to adapt to a generic insert.

For many patients, this explains why past inserts didn’t fully solve the issue.

What’s your experience been so far: relief, frustration, or somewhere in between?

I’m grateful to be featured in Travel + Leisure discussing what podiatrists actually look for in travel shoes and why New Balance consistently performs well for people who spend long days on their feet.

In the article, I share a guideline I often use in practice: New Balance models numbered 800 and above typically provide the cushioning, stability, and support travelers need. We also discussed styles like the Fresh Foam 1080, which offer even more cushioning while still fitting into today’s fashion landscape.

Footwear doesn’t have to be a trade-off between comfort and appearance anymore. Travelers can find shoes that support foot health and feel current which is a balance that really matters when you’re walking miles a day.

Do your feet usually feel better or worse by the end of a travel day?

Foot pain isn’t something you should have to “live with.”

Pain that lasts more than a couple of weeks, keeps returning, interferes with walking, or comes with numbness or swelling is often a sign that something deeper is going on. While natural approaches can help early on, persistent symptoms usually require a closer look to identify the true cause.

The goal isn’t just symptom relief, it’s accuracy. Understanding what’s driving the pain is what allows treatment to be effective and predictable.

If foot pain hasn’t improved on its own, it may be time to stop waiting and start understanding why.

If foot pain keeps returning, it’s often because the same areas are being asked to absorb too much load, over and over again.

Temporary relief from rest, stretching, or new shoes can help symptoms, but without addressing movement and alignment, the underlying stress pattern usually remains. That’s why the pain cycle repeats.

Evaluating biomechanics helps identify where pressure is being misdirected and how movement can be improved for more predictable, lasting outcomes.

As we move into 2026, it’s a good time to stop managing pain and start understanding it.

A stronger body doesn’t start in the gym but with how your body connects to the ground.

Your feet play a critical role in alignment, balance, and how force travels through your joints. When movement patterns are off, the body compensates, often leading to knee pain, hip tension, back discomfort, or recurring injuries that never seem to fully resolve.

Functional podiatry focuses on understanding why pain is happening by evaluating movement as a whole, not just treating where it hurts.

As we move into 2026, it’s a great time to rethink how you approach foot and joint health.

Foot pain often shows up when the body is under more stress than it can comfortably handle.

Stress affects muscle tension, circulation, inflammation, and recovery, all of which directly impact how your feet function throughout the day. When those systems are overloaded, discomfort is often the signal.

Supporting foot health means looking at the full picture from movement habits and recovery to daily routines and long-term patterns. Small, consistent practices can reduce strain before pain becomes persistent.

As we move into 2026, it’s a great time to be proactive instead of reactive.

Pain doesn’t always start where you feel it. When the feet aren’t functioning properly, the entire kinetic chain is affected and often lead to recurring discomfort that never fully resolves.

Long-term relief usually comes from understanding movement patterns, not just treating symptoms. A personalized approach can help identify what’s actually driving the pain and how to correct it.

If this sounds familiar, 2026 is a great time to take a different approach.
