Beaver Valley Foot Clinic: Avoid Shoes that are Tutu Flat!



       Avoid Shoes that are Tutu Flat

So, to avoid the foot problems that sky-high heels can cause, you choose ballet flats or flip-flops.  Well, you’re on the right track; but they can also pose a threat to your foot health. 

For example, without ample cushioning and support, they may trigger heel pain.  They can even lead to plantar fasciitis, which is the inflammation of the tendon that connects the heel bone to the toes, and creates the foot’s arch.  This condition can make walking difficult and extremely painful. 

Therefore, it’s best to wear sandals that have arch support and heel cups, rather than getting ones that are tutu flat.

Beaver Valley Foot Clinic Presents Sound Medical Technology to help with pain in your feet and elbows!




A Shockingly Easy Solution to a Painful Problem

As people begin playing more outdoor sports, many will be affected by lateral epicondylitis. This condition is better-known as tennis elbow, as it’s triggered by the repeated twisting motions of the forearm needed to play the sport.

Because these movements inflame the elbow’s ligaments, even simple things, such as turning a knob, or opening a jar, become agonizing. A common workplace injury, it can be caused by a variety of activities.

Fortunately, we can fix the problem quickly. Using ExtracorporealShock Wave Therapy (ESWT), we apply tiny shock waves to the affected areas, thus stimulating on-going healing that gradually alleviates all discomfort.

So, don’t suffer through the pain, when the solution is shockingly easy.
