BUNIONS
Bunion is
a painful swelling on the big toe joint. Usually involves a
lateral deviation of the great toe towards the lesser toes.
It makes it very uncomfortable to wear shoes and it becomes
progressively more symptomatic as time goes on. It becomes very
difficult to wear shoes comfortably. There are many different
types of corrective procedures that can be utilized from a simple
procedure to a more complex procedure.

DROPPED
METARTASAL
This appears
clinically as a isolated callus on the ball of the foot. This
is corrected by a surgical procedure which then repositions
the displaced bone in a more normal position.

HAMMERTOES
Hammertoe
deformity is usually associated with the lesser toes. Typically
seen as a crooked or what's called as a cock up hammer toe deformity.
This creates sore irritated spots on the tops of the toes. This
condition is remedied by corrective procedure.

HEEL
PAIN, HEEL SPUR SYNDROM, PLANTAR FASCIITIS, HEEL SPURS
Typically
described as a stone-bruise sensation in the heel of the foot.
Typically described by patients as a very painful sensation
upon arising in the morning and trying to make the first step
of the day. Patients will typically describe the first step
of the day as the most painful step they have taken in the course
of the day. As the day progresses sometimes this pain lessens;
and upon relaxing and being seated the pain tends to go away
and then when the patient arises again to start walking the
cycle starts all over again with very painful first step. Treatment
for these conditions is very successful with a 92% success rate
with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy(ESWT) on the first treatment.

INGROWN
TOENAIL
This can
occur from the great toes to the lesser toes but is more typically
seen on the great toe. The condition can be corrected by infiltration
of local anesthesia mixed with a buffering agent which makes
the local injection virtually pain free. Once this condition
is corrected it almost never returns.
Top
NEUROMAS
Is described
by patients as a burning tingling sensation between their third
and fourth toes or a numbness between the toes. There is a sensation
that one has to take off their shoe and sock and rub the ball
of the foot to relieve the distress. This condition is remedied
also by corrective procedure.

PINCHED
CALLUS
This is
callus seen on the outside border of the great toe. A simple
procedure removes the bone spur underlying the skin condition
to remove the underlying cause of the hard callus formation.
Top
PLANTAR
WARTS
This is
probably the most annoying dermatological condition presenting
for treatment. The reasons may be single or isolated and discrete
or nay be large or may be mosaic in pattern of being a blend
of multiple warts appearing as one large lesion. The best treatment
for these conditions is removing the lesions and this is accomplished
very nicely with the use of radio frequency current under either
local anesthesia or monitored anesthesia care. The condition
is corrected in one visit.

PUMP
BUMP (HAGLUND'S DEFORMITY)
This is
typically seen on the back of the heel as an enlarged swelling
underneath the tendo-Achilles. Most typically seen in women
90% of the time. Usually associated with pumps that women wear
over the course of many years. Treatment consists of removing
the bone spur and the associated bursal sack often times found
at the time of surgery.

TENDONITIS
Inflammation
of a tendon or the tissue surrounding it is called tendonitis.
You may feel pain when you move your ankle or when your heel
shifts from side to side.
Top
Varicose
Veins / Spider Veins
These veins
arise as a result of leaky valves that are usually hereditary.
Although there is little you can do to prevent them, there is
a lot that can be done to eliminate them. Since they have no
useful purpose, the only consequence of elimination is improved
self image and confidence. If they are eliminated, the same
veins will not recur. New vessels may arise but can easily be
treated during their formation with less treatment than the
more longstanding vessels. - Read
