General Practitioners

Arthritis
Morton’s Neuroma - Morton’s neuroma is a growth of fibrous tissue of nerves located between the metatarsal heads, this can cause further stress to the metatarsals.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis is among the most common causes of heel pain. It occurs in the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue which runs across the bottom of your foot and connects the heel and the toes. Plantar Fasciitis is usually more apparent in the early mornings when you first get up, and resides once your feet get moving. The pain can also return after long periods of standing, or sitting.
Cryotherapy
While most warts are harmless and generally go away on their own, it may be recommended that you get treatment for your wart, especially if it causes pain or discomfort. It’s important to have a professional diagnosis for warts, as most wart treatments should be carried out by a professional. Your podiatrist will be able to recommend treatment options for you, such as over the counter medicine, cryotherapy (freezing), or chemical cauterization.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
Stretching, massage, ultrasound and appropriate exercises to strengthen the weak muscle group in front of the leg and the upward foot flexors.
MRI
Crush injuries are diagnosed after physical examination. X-rays will then be performed to assess bone fractures. An MRI or CT scan may be needed to examine the soft tissue and see how much damage has been done. A blood test might also be required to test for conditions such as Rhabdomyolysis, or crush syndrome — which can lead to serious issues in the tissue.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography

Wound Care
Because of this, the need for proper wound care is important. Most of the amputations related to wounds or sores, could have been prevented with proper care. While you can’t always prevent wounds from occurring, you can prevent infected wounds from reaching the point where amputation becomes necessary.
Ankle Surgery
Revision foot or ankle surgery is sometimes needed to correct an existing problem, or a problem that has already been corrected before.
Bunions
A bunion occurs at the joint, which means that your body weight rests on the bunion when you step. Because of this added pressure, bunions can be extremely painful.
Gangrene
Poor circulation in the feet can be dangerous. Good circulation is necessary to keep the nerves healthy, and poor circulation can cause an impaired sense of feeling in the feet, which can lead to serious injuries. Poor circulation can cause wounds to heal less quickly, and in serious cases, can even lead to ulceration, gangrene, and even potential amputation.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are a common condition. They are the result of a toenail growing into the corner of the toe, into the soft flesh. This results in pain, redness, swelling, and if you aren’t careful — infection could occur. Most ingrown toenails treatment is relatively easy, and can often be done at home. However, you should consult a foot doctor before starting any treatments, if there is infection, or if the pain is spreading.

Corns
Corns- small, raised bumps with a dense center, surrounded by swollen skin are commonly found on the tops and sides of your toes and can be painful. They are caused by repeated friction or pressure on the area, commonly brought on by ill-fitting shoes or an existing deformity.
Ulcer
The shape of your foot molds the cast. It lets your ulcer heal by distributing weight and relieving pressure. If you have Charcot foot, the cast controls your foot`s movement and supports its contours if you don`t put any weight on it. To use a total contact cast, you need good blood flow in your foot. The cast is changed every week or two until your foot heals. A custom-walking boot is an another way to treat your Charcot foot. It supports the foot until all the swelling goes down, which can take as long as a year. You should keep from putting your weight on the Charcot foot. Surgery is considered if your deformity is too severe for a brace or shoe.
Calluses
Calluses, on the other hand, are rarely painful and are characterized by thick, tough areas of skin, developing on larger areas like the soles of your feet and the heel area. They have no centralized hard center, with a more uniform appearance, and can develop on other parts on the body as well. It’s not uncommon for manual laborers to develop calluses on their hands for instance.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
Depending on the severity of the case, the treatment options can vary as well. For cases that are less severe, ice and some rest will help to heal it up. However, for those who have suffered before with metatarsalgia, other treatments such as physical therapy, may be recommended.
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
Ankle instability occurs after multiple sprains, or when an ankle sprain has not been treated right or wasn’t treated properly. An ankle sprain causes your ligaments to be stretched or torn, thus causing balance to be effected. After multiple strains, your ligaments become further stretched — increasing the chances of ankle instability.
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

General Podiatry
If you are interested in a second opinion, contact Dr. Anthony LaMarra. Dr. LaMarra’s experience in podiatric medicine and surgery is coupled with genuine concern for his patients, and he is dedicated to your providing you with the solutions that you need to help you maintain healthy feet and ankles.
Achilles Tendonitis
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the human body and can withstand forces of 1,000 pounds or more. But it also the most frequently ruptured tendon.
Ankle Instability
Ankle instability is the condition that occurs often after repeated ankle sprains. It is common in athletes who experience frequently sprained ankles. A point comes when the outer side of the ankle feels to be “giving way” which characterizes ankle instability.
Ankle Sprain
Arthritic Foot Care
If you have arthritis in the foot or ankle, contact Dr. Anthony LaMarra, your Houston-based podiatrist specializing in arthritic foot care.
Bunions Problems
Bunions can be caused by wearing poor fitting or narrow shoes. They can also occur due to your natural structure, stress on your foot, or because of arthritis.
Calluses
Fungus Toenails
Laser treatment for fungus or infection is not painful, and doesn’t cause discomfort during or after the procedure. While oral nail fungus medication has possible side effects, laser treatment doesn’t carry this risk. There have been no known adverse reactions or side effects from lasers that are used to treat toenail fungus.
Geriatric Foot Care
Hammertoes
Hammertoes are toes that are bent downward in a permanent position. A hammertoe is a common deformity that is caused by a muscle and ligament imbalance.
Heel Spurs
A heel spur is caused from a calcium deposit on the underside of the heel bone. These calcium deposits form when the plantar fascia, or fibrous tissue located along the bottom of the foot, pulls away from the heel area, which causes a heel spur to develop.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Foot Infections
It’s important to address foot infections as soon as they develop, to prevent the issues from becoming worse. In extenuating circumstances, if infections are allowed to spread and develop to an advanced state, amputation may be required.
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail begins to grow into the soft tissues surrounding it. This is usually caused by shoes that are too tight, injury to the toenail, or improper nail trimming techniques.
Foot Injuries
Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia, also known as a “stone bruise” is a common pain or inflammation that occurs when the muscle is overused. It is common in athletes who are involved in a lot of running or jumping, as well as athletes who participate in soccer, football, baseball and other high-impact sports.
Poor Circulation in Feet
Poor circulation in feet can lead to serious problems. Monitoring the circulation in your feet is the best way to keep these problems at bay.
Foot Orthotics
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis is caused when the tension in the foot is too great, and small tears occur. Repeated tearing or stretching can cause the fascia to become irritated or inflamed.
Podiatric Deformities
Podiatric Disorder Treatment
Podiatric Sports Therapy
Podiatric Surgery
Often the attempted treatment will not go as planned. You may still be experiencing pain or discomfort, and there may still be difficulty walking. If this occurs, you may be in need of revision foot surgery.
