MYTH MONDAY! 🧐

"Bunions always require surgery."

Bunions are the result of genetics, biomechanics, and shoe selection. They can be treated with bunion splints, padding the area, and wider shoe gear. Some patients also develop arthritis in the big toe joint which can be treated with an injection if the joint is painful. Surgery is not recommended if the bunion is not painful as most patients will have some level of intermittent pain after surgery. It's important to discuss all non-surgical treatment options with your doctor before opting for surgical correction. If you have questions about your bunion, call to schedule an appointment with one of our board certified doctors.

🌞Daily Summer Foot Care🌞

1️⃣ Inspect 🔍
Check your feet daily for cuts, blisters, redness, swelling, or nail changes. Don't forget to look between your toes!

2️⃣ Wash 🫧
Wash with soap and water every day and dry well—especially between your toes. No, the soapy water running down your legs to your feet in the shower doesn't count!

3️⃣ Moisturize 💙
Keep skin soft and healthy by moisturizing daily. We recommend Modern Podiatrist, SkinIntegra, or Epoch.

4️⃣ Wear Sunscreen ☀️
Don't forget the tops of your feet! Protect your skin with SPF 30+ whenever you're outdoors.

5️⃣ Wear Supportive Shoes 👟
Choose shoes or sandals with arch support and cushioning to help prevent foot pain. We covered several options in our recent Summer Shoe Series.

👣Have you been hiding your toenails because of fungus? You're definitely not alone.

PinPointe™ Laser is designed for patients with fungal toenails who are looking for a non-invasive treatment option.

👣So, how does it work?

The laser delivers targeted energy through the nail to reach the fungus beneath the nail plate while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue unharmed. The treatment itself is performed right here in our office and typically takes less than 30 minutes.

👣What should you expect afterward?

There's little to no downtime, so you can get right back to your day. Keep in mind, though, that the laser doesn't instantly give you a new nail. As the fungus is treated, healthy nail growth gradually replaces the damaged nail over the next several months.

If you've been covering up your feet because of thick, discolored, or brittle nails, let's talk. We'd be happy to determine if PinPointe™ Laser is the right treatment for you.

MYTH MONDAY! 🧐

"Wearing flip flops all day is fine."

Traditional flip flops lack support and stability leading to heel pain, tendinitis, or other foot injuries. Many companies now make supportive flip flops that are still stylish while delivering the comfort your foot needs.
