If Something’s Amiss, it May be a Stress Fracture

At this time of year, millions of people hit the ground running with outdoor sports and workouts.  Unfortunately, though, they sometimes hit it a little too hard, and end up with stress fractures.   

These can occur when sedentary people suddenly overdo exercising, especially with high-impact sports.  Wearing inappropriate shoes, or working out on hard, or uneven, surfaces can also cause them.         

So, if something’s amiss, with foot pain that intensifies during a workout, subsides with rest, then returns with further activity, come visit us.  Our advanced equipment will detect stress fractures that X-rays may miss.  Then, we can get you fixed up and ready for the summer fun that you won’t want to miss!

Get Spring Started on the Right   Foot 



Injuries, such as ankle sprains, occur often in the spring, when, after a sedentary winter, people suddenly overdo their outdoor activities.  So, ease into the season, doing muscle-strengthening exercises, to reduce the chances of injury.

 However, if you get a sprain, the first 72 hours afterward are crucial; so start treatment immediately, with R.I.C.E.  That means rest (as much as possible), ice (20 minutes, four times per day), compression (bandage and immobilize it), and elevation (prop it up, to minimize swelling). 

 Of course, it’s best to see us for the proper diagnosis and treatment.  Whatever the problem, we’ll help you heal correctly, so you can start the season on the right foot.

Don’t Let an Ingrown Toenail be Your Stumbling Block

 Everywhere you go, you see people hobbling around in pain because of foot ailments.  In many cases, though, the suffering is unnecessary, because the conditions, while painful, are easy to correct.  Often, of course, people continue to limp about, thinking that their troubles are insignificant, and will eventually go away.

Ingrown toenails, for example, are common causes of such disregarded discomfort.  However, although usually not serious, they can become infected, which is particularly dangerous for diabetics.

Luckily, we can treat all types of foot problems; and, for some, such as ingrown toenails, all it takes is a simple, five-minute procedure.  So, don’t let foot pain be a stumbling block to your active lifestyle – come see us today.

Beaver Valley Foot Clinic: We'll Put a Spring Back in Your Step!

    We’ll Put the Spring back into Your Step

 

Call 724.375.5577

When something gets into your shoe, naturally, you immediately stop and get rid of the irritant. However, if you take your shoe off, and nothing’s amiss inside, there may be trouble afoot. 

 

For example, you may have a neuroma, which can create the sensation of a wrinkle in a sock, or a ball under the toes.  This thickening of the nerve tissue between the metatarsal bones is often caused by tight, narrow shoes regularly squeezing the bones, thus pinching the nerve.          

  

Of course, there are other conditions, such as stress fractures, that have the same indicators.  So, if you’re experiencing these symptoms, come see us for the proper diagnosis and treatment.  We’ll put the spring back into your step.   

Beaver Valley Foot Clinic: Corn is Still in Season During the Winter- Unfortunately

Corn is Still in Season in the Winter – Unfortunately  

     While wearing heavier clothes in the winter is necessary, some people claim that it actually hurts them.  Although, in most cases, they’re simply disgruntled about the cold weather, sometimes, it’s true. 

For example, those who, in warmer months, sport only light shoes or sandals, may have trouble getting used to heavier footwear.  In fact, the constant rubbing of restrictive shoes and thick socks, against the toes, often creates enough friction to cause corns to develop. 

 Yes, unfortunately, corn is still in season, even in the winter; but if you have one, we can quickly remove it.  However, to prevent one from forming, buy some seamless socks, and wear slippers whenever possible.  Just say that it’s what the doctor ordered!
