General Practitioners

• Arthritis
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Orthotics are especially useful for those with foot pain and those who may have fallen arches. Orthotics may help properly reposition the structures of the foot, easing the pressure and rebalancing the distribution of weight on the feet. Those with arthritic feet or those experiencing pain due to plantar fasciitis may find relief with orthotics, as they also tend to find issues with arch complications. Orthotics are a great way to give your feet extra support, which can come in handy for those who tend to stand or work on their feet for the majority of the day. The next type of patient who made aid in the use of orthotics are those with diabetic conditions. It’s more likely for those with diabetes to develop corns and calluses. When this occurs, the friction of the corn or callus against your footwear can be extremely uncomfortable and painful. Orthotics, can be useful in reducing the pressure placed upon the affected areas.
• Cryotherapy
  More advanced in-office treatments include cryotherapy or cryosurgery, EPAT or shockwave therapy, laser therapy and alternative types of non-cortisone injections known as prolotherapy, PRP and ozone. The last option is traditional heel surgery to partially release the plantar fascia band. Luckily, most patients respond well conservative options and advanced treatments are rarely require traditional surgery.

• Bunion Surgery
  Bunion surgery, or bunionectomy, realigns the bone, ligaments, tendons and nerves so your big toe can be brought back to its correct position and the bump on the inside of the joint removed. Many bunion surgeries are performed on a same-day basis (no hospital stays) using a local anesthesia. During your recovery it is common to have pain and swelling. This swelling and stiffness may be persistent for several months.
• Joint Replacement
  Hallux Rigidus can be treated with non-surgical methods, such as anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, physical therapy, special orthotics, and more. In severe cases, surgical procedures such as shaving bone spurs, joint fusion, or joint replacement may be required.
• Bunions
  Most bunions can be treated conservatively with wider & softer shoes, pads to relieve the pressure and/or medications. If this does not help then surgical treatment is indicated.
• Heel Surgery

Dermatologists

• Corns
  Whether you are a professional athlete or play sports just for fun, the demands made on your feet and lower limbs can lead to a range of injuries, including blisters, sprained ankles, torn ligaments, shin splints (leg pain), knee pain, low back pain and other joint or muscle problems. Added to these are common complaints such as corns, calluses and Athlete’s foot. Your running style, poor footwear and even minor limb length differences can also contribute to sports injury.
• 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 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
  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. People with hammertoes may have corns or calluses on the top of the middle joint of the toe or on the tip of the toe. They may also feel pain in their toes or feet and have difficulty finding comfortable shoes.
• Fungus
  When your child grows out of their toddler years, it is important that you begin to show him or her how to care for their feet on their own. Practice with your child proper hygiene in order to prevent foot fungus or infection. Since children are constantly on the move, it is crucial to be cautious of any accidents or injuries that might occur. If an injury occurs, it is advised that you take your child to be examined by a doctor immediately. Since your child is still growing, particular injuries can shift the way in which a bone or other important part of the foot is developing.

  Bunions are one of the most common foot disorders treated by Podiatrists. In fact, bunions are one of the most common disorders treated by most podiatrists across the country. More than half the women in America have bunions, a common deformity often blamed on wearing tight, narrow shoes. Bunions cause the base of your big toe (Metatarsophalangeal Joint) to enlarge and protrude. The skin over it may be red and tender. This can be acquired through time or it can be congenital (you got it from your family).
• Calluses
• Diabetic Foot Care

Nervous system damage (also called neuropathy) affects about 60 to 70 percent of people with diabetes and is a major complication that may cause diabetics to lose feeling in their feet or hands.
• Flat Feet
  This foot condition can be caused by a number of different factors, although the exact cause is not always known. The condition can develop from foot defects such as fallen arches or pronation, foot anatomy issues, injuries, and activities that cause stress on the big toe.
• Fungus Toenails
  Many people don’t realize they have a fungal nail problem. Moreover, many people that do never seek treatment. Still, fungal toenail infections are a common foot health problem. Fungal toenail infections can persist for years without ever causing pain. The disease, characterized by a change in a toenail’s color, is often considered nothing more than a mere blemish, but it can present serious problems if left untreated.
• Hammertoes
  Causes of hammertoe include improperly fitting shoes and muscle imbalance. Treatment for the condition typically involves shoes with soft, roomy toe boxes and toe exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles. Commercially available straps, cushions or non-medicated corn pads may also relieve symptoms.
• Heel Spurs
  Plantar fasciitis is swelling of the large flat ligament-like band that is on the bottom of the foot. This large band typically swells and develops micro-tears where it attaches to the heel bone. This swelling process leads to pain. When looking at an x-ray there may also be a heel spur which a small piece of bone that enlarges where the plantar fascia attaches. The heel spur is not the cause of heel pain x-rand the spurs are not removed or dissolved as part of the treatment process. Other causes of heel pain may include an irritated or entrapped nerve, a stress fracture or injuries to the surrounding muscle.
