The Foot Clinic and Sound Medical Technologies; A Shocking End to Plantar Fasciitis

A Shocking End to Plantar Fasciitis

 

We can bring your plantar fasciitis to a shocking end.

 With Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), we focus a shock wave on the heel, causing a micro-trauma to the damaged tissue.  This triggers the healing process, by initiating the formation of blood vessels, and allowing more nutrients to reach the affected area.

A safe, painless, procedure, ESWT takes only 30 minutes, and requires no down time. 



Beaverr Valley Foot Clinic: Proper Diabetic Foot Care Starts on the Inside!

Proper Diabetic Foot Care Starts on the Inside

 

 

Proper diabetic foot care means more than simply avoiding injuries.  Indeed, one of the most serious problems, diabetic neuropathy, occurs when high blood sugar levels restrict blood flow to the feet.  This damages the nerves and causes numbness, burning, and tingling.    

 

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, call us immediately.  Our in-office treatment can restore sensation to your feet, and lessen the chances of further complications.  

 

 

 



Beaver Valley Foot Clinic: Don't Let Stress Fractures Ruin Your Summer!

Don’t Let Stress Fractures Ruin Your Summer

 

A stress fracture, like Achilles tendinitis, can be caused by sudden, intense exercise, especially on hard or uneven surfaces, or wearing inappropriate shoes.  However, it’s indicated by foot pain that arises at the start of a walk or run, eases somewhat, then intensifies toward the end. 

 

If you have these symptoms, call us.  Our advanced equipment can detect stress fractures that regular X-rays often miss.  

 



Beaver Valley Foot Clinic Reminds you to Take a Firm Stand on Summer Foot Care!

Take a Firm Stand on Summer Foot Care  

 Summer can be hard on the feet, especially for diabetics, who must be extra-careful.  So, never go barefoot, because stepping on something and getting an injury could lead to serious complications.

 Always use sunscreen on your feet, too; and dry them thoroughly after swimming, particularly between your toes. 

 No matter how many other rules you relax this season, always stand firm on proper foot care!

 

 

 



Beaver Valley Foot Clinic says, " Leave the Corn in the Field"!

Leave the Corn in the Field

 

    When shoes consistently rub against the toes, the skin thickens and develops corns.  If ignored, they can grow, become painful, and interfere with walking.  On diabetics, they can even get infected, causing serious complications. 

    So, if you have any, let us remove them quickly and painlessly.  Remember, corn should be raised in a field – not on a foot.      

Beaver Valley Foot Clinic offers The best Step Toward Foot Health!

The Best Step Toward

       Foot Health

    While store-bought shoe pads may temporarily relieve foot pain, they can’t treat its cause.  

    If your feet are hurting, it’s best to come and see us.  If corrective inserts are indicated, you’ll need custom orthotics.  Because they’re fitted by a podiatrist, they can actually improve foot conditions.  Better yet, because they’ll be prescribed by a podiatrist, they may even be covered by insurance.
