BV Foot Clinic: Give Your Toes Some Leg Room!



                                                                                 Give Your Toes Some Leg Room

If your summer footwear has been giving your toes their breathing space, they’re mighty grateful for that! And they’re gonna hate it if your new fall shoes have sky-high heels that squeeze them into narrow, pointed toe boxes. Besides being torturous, such shoes often cause bunions, which can become painful, arthritic, and infected, and may even require surgery. So, if you have a bunion, call us for early treatment.

Better yet, help prevent bunions by wearing stylish, lower-heeled shoes that give your toes some leg room (so to speak)!

BV Foot Clinic: Ignoring Foot Pain Can Be a Serious Misstep



                                                              Ignoring Foot Pain Can Be a Serious Misstep

Because they’re more active in the summer than at any other time of the year, people sometimes ignore foot pain, thinking it’s just temporary, caused by sudden physical exertion. That’s not advisable, though, as some conditions are worse than they initially seem. Stress fractures, for example, cause discomfort that can subside for a time. Moreover, they often don’t show up on standard X-rays; but our advanced equipment is designed to detect them.

Remember, if you have foot pain that eases when you rest, then returns with activity, neglecting it can be a serious misstep. So call us!
