Foot Pain – You Don’t Have to Live With It!

 

Doctor William Scholl said, “WHEN YOUR FEET HURT, YOU HURT ALL OVER!”  Foot pain can really affect our ability to enjoy our daily activities.  Unfortunately many people tough it out and wait until the pain is almost unbearable before they go for help.

 

Pain can occur anywhere in the foot, including the heel, toes, ball of foot, arch or ankles. If you seek treatment at the first sign of a problem, we have a better chance of helping you avoid much unnecessary discomfort and pain. 

 

Foot pain can be caused by a wide range of conditions or injuries.  Poorly fitting shoes are often to blame, but athletics, aging, being overweight, structural defects and medical conditions, such as arthritis and diabetes, also increase your chances of having foot problems. 

 

Are you experiencing pain from any of these foot problems?

        bunions                                      hammer toes

        corns, calluses                         ingrown toenails

        plantar fasciitis (heel pain)    arch strain

        sports injuries                          complications of diabetes

        pain in ball of foot                    poor biomechanical alignment

 

As a board certified foot and ankle specialist, I can help relieve your pain, often with simple treatments.
