Ingrown Toenails

An ingrown toenail is the result of the nails curving downward and growing into the skin, usually at the nail borders. This irritates the skin, creates pain, redness, swelling, and warmth in the affected toe. If a break is caused in the skin by an ingrown nail, bacteria may enter and cause the area around it to become infected. Even if you are not experiencing pain, your toe may still be infected. Never ignore an ingrown nail as a prolonged infection can spread and may lead to serious complications.

Bunions

Bunions come in different sizes and shapes. Signs and symptoms include a bump on the outside of the base of the big toe, swelling or redness around the big toe joint, and pain. Bunions commonly take years to form but eventually they can become so painful that even walking can be difficult. With all the different remedies available to ease bunion pain and prevent it from becoming worse – painkillers, shoes with wide toe boxes, bunion pads, shoe inserts, splints — surgery is still the most effective solution. Our doctors will discuss surgical and non-surgical options that best match your condition. Minimal Invasive Surgery (M.I.S) - Unlike the traditional surgical methods of removing a bunion, minimally invasive bunion surgery leaves very little, if any, scarring on the foot. A very tiny incision is made that requires only 1 or 2 stitches to close. Compared to a traditional bunionectomy, there is far less swelling, little to no pain, and a shorter recovery period allowing patients to return to their regular activities sooner. Lapiplasty (3D bunion correction) - A 3D bunion correction means the procedure corrects the deformity in all 3 planes by addressing the root cause, resulting in permanent correction of the bunion. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, allowing patients to return home that same day. Minimal pain is associated with recovery. Patients can resume walking with a boot in two weeks for a duration of 6-8 weeks. Swelling and numbness are the most common occurrences after surgery. Swelling may last for up to a year. Numbness should resolve over time.

Heel Pain

Heel pain is most often caused by the inflammation of the plantar fascia (plantar fasciitis), a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, hammertoes, tendonitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, nerve irritation or, rarely, a cyst. However, left untreated issues can begin to extend to the arch of the foot, or other parts of your leg. It is always recommended to have these injuries evaluated by ankle or foot specialists that can use Xrays, MRI, or diagnostic ultrasounds to diagnose a problem. For treatment, 85 to 90 percent of patients do well with conservative care

Foot Problems Caused by Diabetes

One of the leading causes of foot problems is Diabetes. Blood flow to your feet is restricted making it difficult for your body to heal an injury or resist infection. Additionally, diabetes can cause nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) which takes away the feeling in your feet. This could lead to complications resulting in amputation. Our doctors are trained in Microsurgical Limb Reconstruction to treat patients with peripheral neuropathy. If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic, you should see a podiatrist every 6 months minimum! The Advanced Wound Healing Institute, located within every Family Foot & Leg Center, specializes in the treatment of chronic diabetic wounds. We use the latest wound care innovations to help keep patients out of the hospital and onto healing.
