General Practitioners

• Warts
• Arthritis
  Fibromyalgia testing: Fibromyalgia can be confused with other illnesses including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, and Lyme disease, so these and other disorders need to be ruled out. Imaging tests and nerve and muscle studies may help with this diagnosis.
• Fibromyalgia
• Plantar Fasciitis
  One of the most common complaints among youth soccer players is heel pain. When soccer cleats are under cushioned, heel pain is often the result. Lack of proper support in soccer cleats can also lead to plantar fasciitis and shin splints.
• Pediatric Care
  Rders in a refugee camp. After graduating from Arizona State University with a B.S. in Nutrition, Dr. Sabic decided to focus on Podiatry because he was interested in many components of the field: sports medicine, surgery, lower extremity biomechanics, pediatrics, and trauma.
• Primary Care
  Although your primary care physician may be able to diagnose and treat a problem with your foot, ankle, or lower leg, it is often wise to speak with a skilled podiatrist about your issues. Many podiatric health conditions have similar symptoms as other conditions and can be easily misdiagnosed.

Surgeons

• Wound Care
  Dr. Hansen was born and raised in Flagstaff Arizona, where he received his undergraduate degree from Northern Arizona University. He continued his education pursuing medicine from the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in Des Moines, Iowa. He completed his surgical residency at Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center in Phoenix Arizona. Dr. Hansen serves as a Vice President of the American Foundation of Lower Extremity Surgery and Research. He is a surgical attending of the VAMC Phoenix Residency Program and clinical faculty of the VAMC Phoenix “High Risk Wound Care Clinic”. He serves as clinical faculty for both, Des Moines University, College of Podiatry and Midwestern University, College of Podiatry. Dr. Hansen has been published in several medical journals and is an active national lecturer on all subjects of lower extremity surgery.
• Ankle Surgery
• Bunions
  When you suffer from a foot deformity, it can be difficult to walk in shoes. Most shoes are not designed to accommodate bunions, hammertoes, diabetic feet, and arthritic feet. In some cases, shoes can be modified to relieve pressure on the feet and absorb shock. When deformities become severe, the best way to relieve pain is to invest in a pair of custom-made shoes.
• Ingrown Toenails
  Children's shoes should be comfortable from the start. Never purchase shoes that need to be "broken in." Pay attention to length, depth, and width when fitting your child with new shoes. Remember, poorly fitting shoes can lead to toe problems, blisters, calluses, and ingrown toenails, even in small children.

Dermatologists

• Corns
  Shoes made from a stiff material, like some leathers, can put unnecessary pressure on your foot and cause problems including calluses and corns. Softer materials have more "give" and will allow your foot to better move.
• Frostbite
• Ulcer
  Healing shoes: These are shoes worn after surgery or ulcer treatment. They are worn during recovery and help patients transition to a regular shoe.
• Calluses
• Fungus
  When trying on cleats, make sure feet are measured properly and wear thick game socks. The widest part of the foot should fit comfortably in cleats. There should be plenty of room in the toe box and flexibility in the sole. Find cleats that breathe; fungus thrive in moist, dark environments like athletic shoes.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  Dr. Hansen has a private practice in the Chandler, Arizona and is board certified in Foot and Reconstructive Rearfoot and Ankle Surgery. His expertise is broad ranging from pediatric surgery, sports medicine to trauma and large reconstructive procedures of the foot and ankle.
• Flatfoot Correction
• Heel Pain
• Ankle Sprain
  The vamp is the top and middle section of your shoe, typically where laces, Velcro, or straps would be. The vamp should provide adequate support to ensure that your foot does not slip out of the shoe, as this can lead to an ankle sprain.
• Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Podiatrists

• General Podiatry
  Dr. Sabic made the Dean’s list and had a Presidential scholarship while at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine (now Kent State University of Podiatric Medicine) and moved back to Arizona for a 3-year surgical residency for foot, ankle and lower leg at Carl T. Hayden VA Hospital in Phoenix and majority of valley’s hospital systems and surgery centers. He graduated with over 3 times the required surgical numbers and with over 5 times the clinical requirement numbers! Dr. Sabic truly knows how to go the extra mile for his patients.
• Achilles Tendonitis
• Ankle Sprain
  Soccer is a game played with your feet, and buying the right kind of cleats is essential for any player. A good pair of cleats can enhance play and reduce the risk of foot and ankle injury.
• Bunions Problems
  High-heeled, narrow, and pointy-toed shoes can cause serious discomfort. These types of shoes result in an uneven weight distribution, placing too much pressure on the forefoot and leading to muscle imbalance and posture problems. To avoid painful foot conditions like bunions and hammertoes, women can try the following...
• Calluses
• Flat Feet
  Corrective shoes are designed to address trouble areas on the feet. For example, if you have fallen arches, you can find a corrective shoe with a built-up arch to provide much needed support.
• Hammertoes
  Existing foot conditions can become irritated in ski boots, snow boots, and ice skates. If you are experiencing pain from bunions or hammertoes, you may need to switch to a better-fitting shoe.
• Heel Spurs
  Acquired foot deformities like plantar fasciitis and heel spurs can be extremely uncomfortable if left untreated. In some cases, something as simple as foot strapping can reverse the symptoms of these painful deformities.
• Heel Pain
• Foot Pain
• Ingrown Toenails
  In soccer, shoes that are too small are a major cause of injury and foot pain. While soccer shoes are designed to fit more closely than other athletic shoes, they should not be so tight that it is impossible to move toes around. Running in shoes that are too tight can lead to toe injuries, including fractures, ingrown toenails, and bruised toenails.
• Foot Injuries
• Metatarsalgia
  Among men, one of the most common foot conditions is athlete's foot. Tight-fitting shoes made of synthetic materials are usually the culprit. To avoid fungal infections, it is important to choose shoes that breathe and to periodically air out shoes and socks.
• Foot Neuroma
  For women to relieve the pain associated with inappropriate footwear, they must prioritize comfort, and avoid shoes that do not fit properly. Many women will have a hard time avoiding high heels completely, so part of the compromise can include alternating high-heeled shoes with flats and bringing comfortable shoes to wear in the workplace.
• Foot Orthotics
  Basic over-the-counter foot orthotics are available at grocery stores and pharmacies. Typically, these mass produced orthotics are less expensive than custom orthotics and can help relieve discomfort associated with minor foot conditions.
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Baseball and softball players at all levels need to make sure they have the right equipment to enjoy the game and avoid injury. The rapid stops and starts, running, and sliding associated with sports like baseball and softball put extreme pressure on the feet and ankles. Improper shoes worn during training can lead to tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, and a host of other debilitating foot conditions.
• Podiatric Deformities
  Congenital and acquired foot deformities have a multitude of treatment options. When possible, most physicians will recommend starting with conservative methods; it is best to avoid surgical treatment of foot deformities in both children and adults until necessary.
• Podiatric Surgery
  Orthotic shoe inserts are designed to make standing and walking easier. They are often prescribed as part of a conservative plan for the treatment of foot disorders, and they may be used as a method of foot protection following foot surgery.
