Beverly Podiatry

We love treating little feet and the play doh drawer is freshly restocked! 🥳

There are many different foot 👣 pathologies in the child and adolescent age group ranging from warts and ingrown toenails to flatfeet, tendinitis, and fractures. 🦶 We have xray in office for convenience. 🦴 We hope you're enjoying your summer but should something arise, we are here for you. 🌼 Stay cool 😎

Please do not let your diabetic or neuropathic ulcerations go without professional treatment. 🩺💊🩹 It is important to get evaluated as patients with diabetes and other health conditions do not always present with classic signs of infection. A break in the skin can lead to a serious and possible life-threatening infection. 🦠🧫

This pandemic has sadly led to a delay in treatment of ulcerations which has resulted in life threatening infections and amputations. Please see your local Podiatrist 🥼 to get your foot and ankle 🦶evaluated right away if you notice breakdown of your skin, pain, redness, drainage or just do not feel right. Do not delay treatment. There are non-surgical and surgical options to save your feet and get you back to your activities. 🤸‍♀️🚵🏊‍♂️🧘⛷

Reminder:
👣 Do not walk barefoot
👟 Always check your shoes for foreign objects before putting them on
🦵 Check your feet at least once daily for breaks in the skin.
🏨 Please go to your local emergency room if you are experiencing fever, chills , shortness of breath , nausea, vomiting, malaise as these are just some signs of a major infection.

Got to love when patients wear fun socks to come see us! 🐄

We treat foot and ankle ailments of all ages, fun socks not required. 🤣😂

We had a unique case at Beverly Podiatry today, os intermetatarseum! 👣

This is a rare accessory bone in the foot between the 1st and 2nd metatarsals and cuneiform. Typically, they do not cause symptoms but with certain activities ⚽️🎾⛳️🥋🩰🎳 they can present as pain to the top of the foot or tingling in the 1st web space. 🦶

Resting, offloading, and possible steroid injection are conservative treatments we will exhaust but if symptoms persist we will surgically remove this extra bone. 🦴

👣 Do you have painful aching feet when standing or walking all day? This could be caused by numerous pathologies and one could be due to “flat feet”. This is medically referred to as pes planovalgus and there is often the misconception one should wear flat shoes. 👟 However, this foot type is in the most need of arch support. Many patients can get relief with over-the-counter orthotics. Come check out the options we have in our foot care center. 👣

Keep in mind, if you have painful aching feet or you think you have flat feet, there could be many causes of pain so be sure to get a full evaluation from your local Podiatrist! 🩺🥼

With all this rain 🌧, let's talk about trench foot. Dating back to 1812, the diagnosis of trench foot became more understood during World War I. Today this diagnosis has evolved into the broader term, immersion foot syndromes. They are caused by prolonged exposure of the feet to warm or nonfreezing temperatures of water 💧. The feet entrapped in wet socks 🧦 and shoes 👟🥾can lead to symptoms such as numbness, itching, skin color changes, swelling, and pain. If you find yourself outside biking 🚵‍♂️, hiking or even working in this rain for hours, it is important to change your socks and shoes when they become saturated whether from water or sweat and replace footwear if there are holes or leaks! Seek medical treatment immediately if experiencing these symptoms. ☀️

🏝🌊⛱☀️📢 It’s beach and pool season! With this unfortunately comes the potential for “foreign bodies.” Foreign bodies encompass anything you step on that can pe*****te the skin and even go deep into bone. Common foreign bodies can range from glass, splinters, or nails. While some of these injuries can be uneventful, other cases can lead to painful retained foreign bodies in the foot, inclusion cysts, warts, possible infections in the soft tissue and bone, or even tetanus. Footwear can provide protection but if you find yourself with this injury, we are here to help! Same day emergency appointments are available. 978-922-0288
