I'm often asked what is the difference between a MD and DPM?
Medical Doctors (MDs) Have a Broader, Less Focused Education

With over 26 bones, 33 joints (20 of which are actively articulated), and more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the human foot alone, podiatrists have a much better idea of what might be wrong with their patients with foot and ankle problems.

5 THINGS YOUR TOES COULD REVEAL ABOUT YOUR HEALTH

2. Clue: Tingling, burning or numbness - Diabetes
Tingling, numbness or burning are classic signs of peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes.
3. Dark vertical bands on the toenail or dark spots under the nail -Can be a sign of Melanoma.
On the foot, melanoma is most likely to develop on the big toe, but it can affect other toes and hide out between digits.
4. Washed -out nails - Kidney or liver disease

WINTER TIPS FOR YOUR FEET

Winter is skiing and snowboarding season, activities enjoyed by nearly 10 million Americans, according to the National Ski Areas Association. Never ski or snowboard in footwear other than ski boots specifically designed for that purpose. Make sure your boots fit properly; you should be able to wiggle your toes, but the boots should immobilize the heel, instep, and ball of your foot. You can use orthotics (support devices that go inside shoes) to help control the foot's movement inside ski boots or ice skates.

Committed runners don't need to let the cold stop them. A variety of warm, light-weight, moisture-wicking active wear available at most running or sporting goods stores helps ensure runners stay warm and dry in bitter temperatures. However, some runners may compensate for icy conditions by altering how their foot strikes the ground. Instead of changing your footstrike pattern, shorten your stride to help maintain stability. And remember, it's more important than ever to stretch before you begin your run. Cold weather can make you less flexible in winter than you are in summer, so it's important to warm muscles up before running.

Boots are must-have footwear in winter climates, especially when dealing with winter precipitation. Between the waterproof material of the boots themselves and the warm socks you wear to keep toes toasty, you may find your feet sweat a lot. Damp, sweaty feet can chill more easily and are more prone to bacterial infections. To keep feet clean and dry, consider using foot powder inside socks and incorporating extra foot baths into your foot care regimen this winter.
Be size smart. It may be tempting to buy pricey specialty footwear (like winter boots or ski boots) for kids in a slightly larger size, thinking they'll be able to get two seasons of wear out of them. But unlike coats that kids can grow into, footwear needs to fit properly right away. Properly fitted skates and boots can help prevent blisters, chafing, and ankle or foot injuries. Likewise, if socks are too small, they can force toes to bunch together, and that friction can cause painful blisters or corns.

Wishing everyone a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

CUTTING OUT AN INGROWN TOENAIL YOURSELF

Why It’s Bad: Almost everyone will suffer from an ingrown toenail during their life, whether it be the result of an injury, poor fitting shoes, or genetics. Many people will attempt to resolve the issue with an at-home, self-directed procedure, often performed with non-sterile, ineffective instruments. A common result: a splinter that will fester, cause an infection, or trigger a fleshy growth called pyogenic granuloma that results from minor trauma.

What to Do Instead: Seek professional help early. In-office treatment is easy, simple, and offers quick relief of symptoms. Call Foot and Ankle Care of South Jersey.
