Warts
Arthritis
Is a major crippling disorder and the most serious form of arthritis. It is a complex, chronic inflammatory group of diseases, often affecting more than a dozen smaller joints during its course. In the foot, it frequently affects both ankles and toes.
Plantar Fasciitis
Symptoms: Plantar Fasciitis typically presents as a stabbing type of pain in the bottom of your foot or heel, which is at its worst when you first wake up in the morning. Most people complain that their first few steps are unbearable. Similar pain can result after long car rides or long periods of sitting.
Primary Care
Have periodic visits with your primary care physician or endocrinologist. The foot and ankle surgeon works together with these and other providers to prevent and treat complications from diabetes.

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
If you are suffering from chronic foot pain associated with soft-tissue injury or disease, diagnostic ultrasound could help in obtaining an accurate diagnosis of foot or ankle problem.
X-Rays
Chemotherapy
The tendency to accumulate uric acid is often inherited. Other factors that put a person at risk for developing gout include: high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, surgery, chemotherapy, stress and certain medications and vitamins. For example, the bodyâ€™s ability to remove uric acid can be negatively affected by taking aspirin, some diuretic medications (â€œwater pillsâ€ ) and the vitamin niacin (also called nicotinic acid). While gout is more common in men aged 40 to 60 years, it can occur in younger men as well as in women.

Wound Care
At Associated Podiatrists, our foot and ankle specialists are experts in addressing lower extremity concerns affecting your skin, nerves, circulation, bones, muscles, tendons and joints. We have extensive experience providing diabetic preventative foot care as well as infection management and wound care.
Bunion Surgery
Generally, patients have little to no pain after bunion surgery. Those that do control it with pain medication and it generally resolves within a week. We also use cooling devices that circulate ice water around your foot and help decrease swelling.
Bunions
Because they are bone deformities, bunions do not resolve by themselves. The goal for bunion treatment is twofold: first, to
Ingrown Toenails
Be sure to also avoid ingrown toenails, which can get infected, by keeping them trimmed neatly. If you are unable to cut your toenails safely, ask your podiatrist for professional assistance. And never attempt to cut your own bunions or corns as this can lead to infection, as well. Instead, remember to visit your podiatrist for safe and pain free removal.

Skin Cancer
A birthmark, mole, or freckle can be common findings on any part of your skin including your feet; however, many individuals do not apply sunscreen on their feet on a regular basis and such skin lesions could be a sign of sun damage. A nevus or common mole is a small lesion on the skin that is usually pink, tan, or brown and has a distinct edge. Skin lesions on the top, bottom and even in between your toes should be monitored by a medical professional at least once a year. Should the lesions change in size, shape, color, thickness, begin to itch or bleed, then they should be evaluated immediately. The only certain way to rule out skin cancer is to remove the tissue/ skin with a biopsy and evaluate it for cancer cells.
Corns
Self-care for corns includes soaking feet regularly and using a pumice stone or callus file to reduce the size of the corn. Special over-the-counter, non-medicated, donut-shaped foam pads can be worn to help relieve the pressure and discomfort.
Ulcer
Diabetic hotspots are specific areas of the foot in individuals with diabetes, which have increased skin temperatures compared to the rest of the foot, usually due to increased pressure. These temperature differences have been shown to help healthcare providers predict where a diabetic ulcer will present before it actually does.
Calluses
A Callus, also known as hyperkeratosis, is an area of hard, thickened skin that can occur across the ball of the foot, on the heel, or on the outer side of the big toe. Although many consider calluses to be a skin deformity, they are more an indication of a larger problem with the bone.
Fungus
We even had one lady drive from Montreal Canada. We have performed thousands of procedures over the past few years. We have the lasers on site so there is no need to go to a tertiary facility or wait for a tech to come to office. Our trained doctors operate the lasers themselves for a drug-free way to help eliminate nail fungus.
Lesions

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
, padding, and strapping the heel are sometimes prescribed. Splints, injections, a walking cast, and physical therapy are other treatments. In persistent cases, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Treatment (ESWT) may be used to treat the heel pain. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
Ankle sprains are caused by an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle bones of the foot, which may result in excessive stretching or tearing of one or more ligaments on the outside of the ankle. The severity of the sprain can impact the degree of damage as well as the type and duration of treatment. If not properly treated, ankle sprains may develop into long-term problems.

All of our doctors follow our philosophy of educating our patients so that they are able to fully understand their individual treatment plans and they strive to provide each patient with the best and most compassionate care possible.
Achilles Tendonitis
Chronic or acute pain resulting from such problems as Achilles tendonitis or rupture, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, plantar fibromas, Morton's neuroma, general tendonitis or capsulitis, ankle sprains or strains, and cystic masses can be more easily treated with the use of this specialized diagnostic instrumentation. The examination is totally painless and can be performed in less than half an hour. Most insurance companies provide coverage for the exam.
Ankle Sprain
Bunions Problems
). Bunions form when the toe moves out of place. The enlargement and its protuberance cause friction and pressure as they rub against footwear. The growing enlargement or protuberance then causes more irritation or inflammation. In some cases, the big toe moves toward the second toe and rotates or twists, which is known as

Hammertoes
Successfully treated the neuroma with alcohol injections, then corrected my hammertoe. He is very competent and encourages questions. I had occasion to see another doctor in his practice and was happy with her as well. His staff is friendly and professional, and appointment times are respected. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good podiatrist.
Heel Spurs
Can cause heel pain that lasts for most of the day. Sometimes, heel pain has other causes, such as tendonitis, arthritis, a nerve problem, or even a stress fracture. The presence of a heel spur can complicate the situation.

Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
I had let a serious ingrown toenail go for weeks longer than I should which created an infection I could feel throughout my leg.
Foot Injuries
Foot Neuroma
Morton's neuroma is a thickening of tissues around the nerve that leads to the toes. Morton's neuroma usually develops between the third and fourth toes in response to irritation, such as that caused by wearing high-heeled or narrow shoes, or from trauma. Symptoms may include a burning pain that radiates from the ball of the foot to the toes or numbness in the toes. Conservative treatments usually resolve the pain or progressions of the condition, and range from wearing roomier, lower-heeled footwear or using orthotics to reduce the pressure on the nerve, to injections of corticosteroid medication to reduce swelling and inflammation.
Foot Warts
, appear on the soles of the feet and are one of several soft tissue conditions that can be quite painful. Unlike other foot warts, plantar warts tend to be hard and flat, with a rough surface and well-defined boundaries. They are often gray or brown (but the color may vary), with a center that appears as one or more pinpoints of black. Plantar warts are often contracted by walking barefoot on dirty surfaces or littered ground. The virus that causes plantar warts thrives in warm, moist environments, making infection a common occurrence in public pools and locker rooms.
Plantar Fasciitis
Causes: The plantar fascia serves as a shock-absorbing ligament, supporting the arch of your foot whether high or low. If the tension on the plantar ligament becomes too great, micro tears can result. Chronic or acute micro tearing can result in irritation and inflammation along the ligament and at its insertion point into the heel. Certain factors such as age, increased body mass index, certain types of exercise/ athletics, specific occupations, and foot type can put you at an increased risk of developing plantar fasciitis.
Podiatric Surgery
Thank you for your wonderful care. The surgery was one that went very smoothly - now I wonder why I stood the pain so long before my foot surgery! You are very gentle, kind and caring - and fun. After surgery care you always were available. I thank you and your caring office staff. Thank you so much for your professional care. I rate you a ten! Thank you.
