Q:

Q: How are allergies diagnosed?

A:

Allergies are diagnosed most accurately by performing skin or blood testing. Skin testing not only determines what someone is allergic to but also the severity of that particular allergen and, if someone is a candidate for allergy desensitization, where to safely begin allergy shots.

Ready For Business

The Lake County Economic Development and Tourism Department showcased the county’s potential future business development during a reception at Mission Inn with representatives from the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission. They also took members of the Metro EDC on a tour to show them available land and buildings ready to accommodate businesses. During the reception, more than 130 Lake County businesses were represented from a variety of industries.

For four years, Marilyn Moran lived with excruciating pain in her right foot. With each step, pain would radiate from her foot up to her ankle. Although she visited multiple podiatrists throughout the years, none provided her with any relief.

The pain intensified after she returned home from a vacation several months ago. “I could hardly move my foot,” she says. “I figured the pain was here to stay.”

As luck would have it, Marilyn’s daughter Shannon received tremendous relief from a foot ailment after undergoing treatment with Dr. Johnny Wu at Tri-County Podiatry. Shannon strongly urged her mother to go see him.

After taking an X-ray of her foot, Dr. Wu diagnosed her with Morton’s neuroma in her right foot. However, it was another biomechanical ailment that was contributing to her pain. And once he prescribed the right treatment, the foot started feeling better. Much to Marilyn’s surprise, she was pain-free in three weeks. Today, she incorporates the foot-stretching exercises she learned in physical therapy at home.

“I am so happy with Dr. Wu and the physical therapy team,” Marilyn says. “Dr. Wu is very calm and very comforting. For me, it is such a delight that I do not have to live with pain on a daily basis. I can enjoy life again. My only regret is not going to Tri-County Podiatry sooner. I cannot believe I had to live with so much pain for four years of my life.”
