If it feels like you’re walking on bone, you’re not imagining it.

Over time, the natural fat pad on the bottom of your foot can wear down. That padding is what protects your bones and absorbs shock every time you walk.
When it’s gone, you start to feel:
• Sharp pain in the ball or heel of your foot
• Discomfort with every step
• Pain that gets worse the longer you’re on your feet

This is called fat pad atrophy, and it’s a common cause of forefoot pain and metatarsalgia.

One option we offer is a fat pad injection using a regenerative adipose tissue graft. This is done right in the office.

Here’s why patients choose it:
• Restores lost cushioning
• Provides immediate shock absorption
• Helps your body rebuild natural padding over time
• Minimal downtime, you can walk the same day

The goal is simple. Reduce pain and make walking feel normal again.
If every step is starting to hurt, it’s time to get it checked.

We’ll walk you through your options and find the right solution for your foot.

If you have a bunion, your shoes matter more than you think.

The wrong pair adds pressure and makes the pain worse. The right pair can help take pressure off the joint.

What to look for
• Wide toe box so your toes are not crowded
• Soft material over the bunion
• Good arch support
• A stable sole

What to avoid
• Narrow or pointed shoes
• Stiff material that rubs
• Flat shoes with no support
• High heels

Shoes can help with pain, but they will not fix the bunion.

If it is getting worse or limiting your day, it is time to look at real treatment options.

We can help you find the right solution so you are not working around your pain.

Every year, we see more heel pain and arch pain as people switch into lighter shoes.

The problem is not the season.
It is the lack of support.

Flip flops, flat sandals, and even everyday Crocs can strain your feet when you wear them all day.

What to do instead
• Choose sandals with arch support
• Look for cushioning
• Make sure the shoe actually holds your foot in place

If your feet are already starting to hurt, don’t wait it out. Get it checked early so you can stay active all summer.

Bunion pain doesn’t fix itself. It usually gets worse over time.

Minimally invasive bunion surgery is designed to correct the problem with smaller incisions and less disruption to the foot.

The goal is less pain, better alignment, and back to normal as quickly as possible.

If your bunion is starting to limit your daily life, it’s time to get it looked at.

Many over the counter treatments only treat the surface of the wart. They don’t always address the underlying virus, which is why warts can linger or spread.

Swift microwave therapy is a modern option that targets the root of the problem.

It works by triggering your body’s natural immune response to fight the virus.

Treatments are quick and done right in the office.

If you are tired of trying everything at home with no results, this is a great option to ask about.

Discoloration, thick nails, or nails that just don’t look “right” aren’t something to ignore—especially in growing feet. The earlier you catch it, the easier it is to treat.

Dr. Kim at Greater TX Foot & Ankle breaks down what to look for, why it happens, and how to get your kiddo back to healthy nails.

Don’t wait it out—fungus doesn’t fix itself.

Another happy patient who had Minimally Invasive Surgery for her bunions and feels great!

If you’re hoping it just “stops getting worse,” I want to be honest with you.

Bunions are structural.
They don’t reverse with wider shoes or toe spacers.

The good news?
Modern minimally invasive surgery is nothing like what your grandmother had.

Smaller incision.
Less disruption.
Faster return to shoes.

You don’t have to wait until it’s unbearable.
