Preventing running injuries by understanding your foot type!
There are essentially three different types of varying foot arches – low, moderate, and high.
Knowing these types, which kind you have, and how they affect the way your feet move are all important for both understanding common medical conditions and choosing shoes that are appropriate for the feet you have.

Ingrown toenails start as minor nuisances but can develop into big problems—and for some people, they can cause life-threatening complications.
The best way to avoid surgery for these nails is to stop them at the first sign of trouble.

Your arch is an important part of your foot. It helps your body both absorb pressure and distribute body weight evenly through your lower limbs.
When it’s too low, however, it’s unable to do this efficiently—that means your whole foot is destabilized and you become more prone to painful problems.
With a flatfoot condition, you’re more susceptible to foot fatigue, midfoot pain, heel pain, and overuse injuries of all kinds. Sometimes it can increase your odds for bunions and toe deformities like hammertoes.
Why does that happen and what can you do about it?

Any individual could develop ingrown toenails, but it is more common when children wear shoes that are too tight or small or when their nails are trimmed too short or rounded.

It’s birthday week at the office. Happy birthday Dr. Wettstein and Tawna. 🎈🎊Help us wish them a happy birthday.
It may be tempting to try to treat an ingrown toenail at home, but this can be dangerous for people with diabetes.
Home remedies such as soaking the foot in warm water or using over-the-counter treatments can provide temporary relief, but they may not eliminate the risk of infection.
Additionally, attempting to remove the nail or cut away the affected area can lead to further complications, including infection and injury.
We can help!

Orthotics are shoe inserts that are designed to provide support, cushioning, and alignment for the feet.
They can treat a wide range of foot problems, including flat feet, fallen arches, plantar fasciitis, bunions, sports injuries, and other conditions.
There are two main types of orthotics: custom-made and over-the-counter (OTC) or store-bought.
While OTC orthotics may seem like a more convenient and affordable option, there are several reasons why getting custom orthotics from a podiatrist is better.

Sometimes, nails don’t grow as they’re supposed to—instead, they dig into the soft flesh surrounding them, leading to pain, swelling, and tenderness. Left unchecked, an ingrown toenail may even develop an infection that could eventually reach the bone if no treatment is sought.
