Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are caused by an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle bones of the foot, often resulting in one or more ligaments on the outside of the ankle to be stretched or torn. If not properly treated, ankle sprains could develop into long-term problems. Read More...
Bunions
Bunions occur when the big toe drifts towards the second toe, while the large bone to the outside of the big toe (the metatarsal) begins moving in the opposite direction. The “bump” is actually the prominent head of the metatarsal bone. Patients often don’t realize that they have a bunion.

Flat feet
Flat feet are a common condition. In infants and toddlers, the longitudinal arch is not developed and flat feet are normal. The arch develops in childhood, and by adulthood, most people have developed normal arches. Read More...
Hammertoes
A hammertoe is a deformity of the second, third or fourth toes. In this condition, the toe is bent at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. Left untreated, hammertoes can become inflexible and require surgery. Read More...
Diabetic Foot Care
Why see a podiatrist if you have diabetes? Having diabetes increases the risk of developing a wide range of foot problems, often because of two complications of the disease: nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation. Read More...
Corns and calluses
Corns and calluses are protective layers of compacted, dead skin cells. They are caused by repeated friction from skin rubbing against bony areas or against an irregularity in a shoe. Corns ordinarily form on the toes and calluses on the soles of the feet. Read More...

Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Cutting back the side of the toenail will often only provide short term relief of the pain. Our podiatrists will talk to you about a minor, surgical procedure done in our office that should provide you with relief from the painful, ingrown toenail. The procedure is called a partial matrixectomy and is a permanent removal of a small portion (of the side) of the toenail. After the surgery, the toenail looks normal but the side of the toenail is no longer in-grown.

Neuromas
Neuroma Treatment
The podiatrists in our office will examine you to determine if you have a neuroma, and then will describe to you appropriate treatments for your condition. Conservative treatments for neuromas include wider shoes, loosening of the shoelaces, topical anti-inflammatory creams and gels, and a cortisone injection.

The plantar fascia band is on the bottom of your foot and it helps to support your arch. Once the fascia is inflamed, the whole foot can ache and a patient might even start limping. Our office has numerous methods to help decrease the inflammation that causes the plantar fascia to become painful. Read More...
Toenail Fungus
Patients with discolored and thickened toenails usually have a medical condition known as onychomycosis, or fungal toenails. The podiatrists in our office can discuss with you treatments for this condition that should help to make the toenails thin and clear again. We use both a topical (paint on) anti-fungal liquid and an oral medication to kill the toenail fungus. Read More...

Often the arch is too low (pes planus) or too high (pes cavus), which causes unneeded stress on the foot and joints. The podiatrist seeing you will determine the proper diagnosis and then initiate appropriate treatment. Treatment for heel and arch pain often includes stretching exercises, arch strapping, orthotics and night splints, and sometimes a cortisone injection. Read More...
