Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are caused by an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle
bones of the foot, often resulting in one or more ligaments on the outside
of the ankle to be stretched or torn. If not properly treated, ankle sprains
could develop into long-term problems.
Nail Restoration
KeryFlex Nail Restoration is a painless, in-office application that restores
the appearance of natural nails.

Bunions
Bunions
are misaligned big toe joints that can become swollen and tender, causing
the first joint of the big toe to slant outward, and the second joint to
angle toward the other toes.
Flat Feet
Flat feet are a common condition. In infants and toddlers, the longitudinal
arch is not developed and flat feet are normal. The arch develops in
childhood, and by adulthood, most people have developed normal arches.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a deformity of the second, third or fourth toes. In this
condition, the toe is bent at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. Left
untreated, hammertoes can become inflexible and require surgery.
Diabetes and Your Feet
With a diabetic foot, a wound as small as a blister from wearing a shoe
that's too tight can cause a lot of damage. Diabetes decreases blood flow,
so injuries are slow to heal.
Heel Spurs
Plantar fasciitis (or heel pain) is commonly traced to an inflammation on
the bottom of the foot. Our practice can evaluate arch pain, and may
prescribe customized shoe inserts called orthoses to help alleviate the
pain.
Corns
Corns and calluses are protective layers of compacted, dead skin cells. They
are caused by repeated friction from skin rubbing against bony areas or
against an irregularity in a shoe. Corns ordinarily form on the toes and
calluses on the soles of the feet.
Athlete's Foot
A chronic infection caused by various types of fungus, Athlete's foot is
often spread in places where people go barefoot such as public showers or
swimming pools.
