COMMITTED
TO EXCELLENT SERVICE
Our philosophy has been that the patient always comes first.
Bunions
We can describe bunions as a bump on the side of the big toe that reflects changes in the bony framework of the front portion of the foot. Bunions may gradually grow and cause the toe to turn in when left untreated.
Hammer Toes
A hammer toe is the contracture of one or both joints of the second, third, fourth, or fifth toes. The abnormal bending often results in pressure on the toes when you wear shoes and can develop more severe problems as time passes.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is caused by ligament inflammation connecting the heel bone to the toes. Patients that suffer from plantar fasciitis will likely experience pain/strain in their arches and heels.
If you suffer from plantar fasciitis, you may feel stabbing pains at the bottom of your foot near the heel. The pain will often feel worse in the morning, taking your first few steps when awakening. However, patients often say they think their condition is triggered by long periods of standing or when getting up after sitting down.
EMERGENCY OPERATOR
24 HOURS
Get emergency care from a specialist right from the start. Don’t go to an urgent care, ER or general doctor. Come straight the specialist.
Flat Feet
Patients with flat feet have no arch in the sole of their foot. This may not cause any problems for some, at least not early on. However, when ignored, flat feet may cause leg pain in some patients as they grow older.
If you have flat feet, you may notice that your feet roll to the inner side when standing or walking. This is a symptom of flat feet and what we call overpronation. Most will develop flat feet during childhood. However, some may experience this condition into their adulthood.
Our arches provide a spring to our step and work to help distribute body weight evenly across the feet and legs. Although flat feed doesn’t always produce symptoms, some may experience a wide variety of complications that can depend on the severity of their condition.
