BV Foot Clinic: Don't Let Fungus Get a Toehold on Your Nails

                                                   Don’t Let Fungus Get a Toehold on Your Nails

The autumnal equinox marks the end of the growing season - for most things. Unfortunately, though, toenail fungus is an exception, as the unventilated, dark surroundings inside heavy socks and shoes provide the ideal conditions for it to thrive, especially if there’s any dampness. So, as you switch from sandals to heavier footwear, be careful not to create an inviting environment for fungus; and if it does manage to get a toehold, our painless, 15-minute laser procedure will get your nails back in the clear!

BV Foot Clinic: Our Hammertoe Treatments Hit the Nail on the Head

                                              Our Hammertoe Treatments Hit the Nail on the Head

While many women wear ultra-high heels to look more attractive, their choice of footwear often leads to a decidedly unattractive problem. Indeed, after supporting the body’s weight, day after day, while being forced downward into pointy shoes, toes can become curled or bent. This condition, known as hammertoes, can be quite painful, and may lead to blisters, corns, redness, and swelling, as well as joint stiffness and misalignment, and may even require surgery if allowed to progress. 

So, wear stilettos only on special occasions – and for just a few hours. Otherwise, shoes with wider toes and lower heels are best. However, if you're already developing hammertoes, come and see us. We’ll evaluate your condition and devise the ideal treatment for you that will hit the nail right on the head!

BV Foot Clinic: Diabetic Neuropathy Should Never Be Ignored

                                Diabetic Neuropathy Should Never Be Ignored

If you’re diabetic, you know that you must be extra-vigilant about foot care; and that you cannot ignore any complications that arise. For example, sensations of burning, tingling, and numbness can be warning signs of Diabetic Neuropathy. Caused by high blood sugar levels restricting blood flow to the feet, it’s an especially serious condition that can damage nerves, and lead to disastrous consequences, if left unattended. 

If you have these symptoms, you may be able to benefit from our effective, in-office treatment that can restore sensation to your feet, and reduce the chances of further difficulties. So, call us right away for a consultation to determine if this procedure is right for you.
