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.

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.

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.

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.
