Learn moreLeg & Foot assessment
The leg and foot are two of the most important parts of the body. They are responsible for our mobility and balance. It is important to be able to assess them properly in order to diagnose any potential problems. In this article, we will discuss the different ways to assess the leg and foot. We will also look at some of the common problems that can occur in these areas.
Learn moreLeg assessments
Medical professionals have long used leg assessments to help them diagnose medical conditions. There are many different types of leg assessments, and each one has its own purpose. Some leg assessments are used to assess the overall health of the patient, while others are used to diagnose specific conditions.
Learn moreDiabetics
If you have diabetes, it is important to take care of your feet. Diabetes can damage blood vessels and nerves, so diabetic foot care is critical to prevent infection and other problems. You should inspect your feet each day for redness, sores, blisters, cuts, or scratches.
Learn moreNeuropathy
Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nervous system. It can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands and feet. Neuropathy can be caused by a number of things, including diabetes, infections, autoimmune diseases, and exposure to toxins. Symptoms can vary from mild to severe, and they often worsen over time. There is no cure for neuropathy, but treatments are available to help manage symptoms.
Learn morePeripheral Vascular Disease
Peripheral vascular disease is a condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the arms, legs, and organs of the body become narrowed or blocked. This can lead to pain, numbness, or a loss of function in the affected areas. Treatment for peripheral vascular disease typically includes medications, lifestyle changes, and surgery.
Learn moreIngrown Nail Care
Our nurses keep ingrown nails at bay with regular medical foot care. The doctor can also remove ingrown nails if required through a procedure at the clinic.
Learn moreIngrown nail removal
Ingrown nails are a common problem that can occur on either the big toe or the little toe. They happen when the corner or side of the nail grows into the fleshy skin of the toe. This can cause pain, redness, and swelling. In some cases, an ingrown nail can become infected. Treatment typically involves removing the ingrown nail and antibiotics if there is an infection.
Learn moreCallus & Corn Removal
Corns and calluses are common, harmless conditions that can develop on the hands or feet. These skin growths are caused by a buildup of excess skin cells, usually as a result of pressure or friction on the skin. There are two types of these growths: Corns — a corn is a hard, raised bump on the surface of the skin; and Calluses — a callus is a thickened area of the skin which often has a rougher texture than normal skin. Corns and calluses often accompany one another, and they can sometimes be painful to touch or walk on.
Learn moreBunions
A bunion is a medical term for enlargement of the joint at the base of the big toe. This occurs when the first metatarsal bone in the foot becomes enlarged, pushing it outwards to meet with other toes, or when the tissue that connects the toe to the foot becomes inflamed. The pain caused by bunions can be uncomfortable and sometimes even debilitating.
Learn moreHammertoes
Hammertoes are a condition in which the second, third and fourth toes bend toward the sole of the foot. The big toe is not affected. Hammertoes can be painful and may lead to other conditions such as ingrown toenails. If you think that you or a loved one has hammertoe, consult with us.
Learn moreHeel Spurs
Heel spurs (calcaneal spurs) are calcium deposits that form on the heel bone's surface, and they come from the body trying to protect itself. They can cause pain in the area where they are located, around the back of your ankle, often when you put weight on your heel. While many have tried home remedies for this condition, few have found relief. Thankfully there are treatments for heel spurs that will help prevent pain and discomfort.
Learn morePlanter fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a painful and frustrating condition that often leaves sufferers with limited mobility and an inability to stand or walk for long periods of time without pain. Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament, which runs from the heel bone to the toes. The plantar fascia ligament becomes inflamed when it's overused, such as when you put strain on your feet by standing or walking too much. It also can be caused by wearing high heels or flat shoes that don't provide proper arch support.
Learn moreAthlete's foot
Have you tried everything to get rid of your athlete's foot? Athlete's foot is a fungal infection of the feet, or between the toes. Young children and adults who perspire heavily in their feet are most at risk for this type of infection. Athlete's foot is usually red, scaly, and itchy. It can be contagious if you scratch your skin and then touch someone else. It may also spread to other parts of the body like the groin area if you scratch in that area and then touch another person's skin with your fingers (or vice versa).
Learn moreWart Treatments
In recent years, the wart has become one of the most common skin conditions. Warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and can appear anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found on the hands and feet. While there is no cure for HPV, there are many different treatments for warts that can be used depending on their location and severity.
Learn moreUlcer Care
Ulcer care is a process that can take time and patience in order to achieve healing. There are many different types of ulcers, and each require their own specific approach. Some ulcers may be cured with over-the-counter medications while others may require prescription medications or surgery. It is important to consult a physician if you are experiencing any symptoms of an ulcer in order to get an accurate diagnosis and the best possible treatment.
Learn moreSimple dressings
Dressing a foot is an important part of foot care. By keeping the foot clean and dry, you can help prevent infection and other foot problems. There are several simple dressings that you can use to care for your feet. One of the simplest dressings is a mixture of water and vinegar. This mixture can be used to clean the foot and help get rid of bacteria. You can also use this mixture to disinfect cuts or wounds on the foot.
Learn moreOrthotic prescriptions
Orthotic prescriptions provide support to the foot, ankle, and leg. They are commonly used to treat conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and runner's knee. Orthotics can be custom-made or purchased over-the-counter. Custom-made orthotics are typically more expensive, but they are more likely to fit well and provide the best support.
